  1. DO THE READING. Do all of the reading assigned for your courses. Do not fall behind.
  2. BRIEF THE CASES. Take notes while reading.
  3. REVIEW BEFORE EACH CLASS. Review your reading notes (case briefs) right before class.
  4. GO TO CLASS. Most professors cover some material in class that is not discussed in the reading, so failure to attend class will put you at a big disadvantage when you take the final exam.
  5. PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. 
  6. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS.
  7. TAKE CLASS NOTES.
  8. PREPARE AN OUTLINE FOR EACH OF YOUR CLASSES.
  9. CONSIDER FORMING A STUDY GROUP.
  10. REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW. Just because you don't have an exam until the end of the semester does not mean that you should wait until the reading period to begin your review. This is not undergraduate school. You cannot cram right before finals and get good grades. Therefore, make time for frequent review over the course of the semester.
  11. ATTEND REVIEW SESSIONS CONDUCTED BY YOUR PROFESSORS AND/OR THEIR ACADEMIC FELLOWS.
  12. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FEEDBACK FROM YOUR PROFESSORS.
  13. ATTEND THE WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED BY THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT CENTER.
