FriedRicehello peasants,
if your like me you probably spend the day after finals screaming at your mirror and eating ice cream.
regardless of how you handle your bad grades i'm starting up this thread for a place to maybe find some new study methods that work for you.


Nah I roll a fat ass blunt and smoke it.

i was going for more of a timeless vibe but to answer your question im not cramming at the moment

As a fellow student i can sympathize with this plight.

I used to be a 2.7 student, and I have raised my grades to 3.8 last year and 4.0 last semester by following a few small tips:

1) Enroll in as many courses as humanly possible initially and attend them all. My university (University of Alberta) lets me enroll in 6. I then attend them all and see which courses i want to take and which i want to drop. that way i never have to be on a waitlist to get into specific classes to fill my schedule

2) use ratemyprof.com - tells you roughly how good the prof is. (supplement this with what friends tell you about good classes and profs) to ensure you dont get stuck in that class where the prof has no idea how to speak english or teach

3)at the beginning of the semester take all the syllabi from your classes and write all assignment and test dates on a wall calendar. That way you can see how everything interacts and can see when there will be busy periods and not so busy periods

4) if you have classes that have cumulative finals - while doing readings take notes. it takes longer to do the readings, but you never have to read it again (consult your notes instead, at the end of the term when everyone else is cramming to try to remember things from September you have a handy condensed study guide to ensure that you get some quality studying in.

5) do things in advance. its easier to do 2 hours a day of studying/writing for 4 days than it is to do 8 hours the day before its due. (plus you feel less guilty about making that ski trip if all your homework is done for the week, you can enjoy it rather than worrying about how much you need to do when you get back)

6) ask the prof what they want, ALWAYS AGREE WITH THEM! you really don't learn a lot in university, you learn how to game the system. profs are people and people are subjective. utilize that

hopefully this all helps
