Listen to Lectures from the Best Professors

Let’s face it, not all professors are created equal. Some are world class, while others are less skilled. The less skilled ones may also not be teaching you everything you need to know about a subject well enough that you grasp it 100%. As a result your homework is not meeting your own expectations and your testing is not all it could be.

One great solution for this is to listen to lectures from the best teachers of your chosen subjects. The Great Courses now has an app available in the Google Play store. This google play homework app allows you listen to lectures from the greatest college professors in the country and on nearly every subject. This can assist you greatly with homework and with filling in any missing bits of information you are not getting in class. Order the app and always be prepared when you need an expert.

Don’t’ Procrastinate

When you get an assignment from a class do it immediately. There is a good reason for this. When you get it completed with time to spare, you have extra time to perfect it and add or modify ideas to the project. You can work more relaxed and your mind runs free. When you wait until the last day or two to finish an assignment, not only are you rushing to get it completed but you also do not have time to check your ideas or to try several competing ideas to see the best one for the project. As importantly you will be completely stressed, ad very few people perform their best under this type of duress.

When you get an important assignment, get by yourself and immediately plan out how you will get it done. Make a specific timeline with milestones you will meet by a certain date or time. As you hit them your confidence will build and you will become more certain that you can in fact get to the end. Use this strategy to never procrastinate again.

Do it with a great attitude.
