I can also refer to some of the videos that have been used on the USU 1010 Canvas course. Start making study schedules. I need to start doing my homework when it is handed out and fresh in my mind. I need to do homework when it is first available for me to do it. I can also make calendars and plan out my weeks.

I can use the resources my professor gives me, like Supplemental Instruction classes, and also teaching assistants. I can also use the Library study groups and use the opportunity to study with my peers.
I need to start going to Supplemental Instruction Courses and make time to learn more when I am not caught up. I need to make sure I put in extra time to study and stay caught
