    Get lots of omega 3 for brain health (ie fish), and get a decent amount of sleep.

    Meet with your professor. Ask specifically what concepts or skills you are not catching on to, and if he or she can recommend a tutor. Smile, be polite and positive - own your grade, it is the professor's honest assessment of your success in learning the material presented, not a statement about your personality.
    If you choose to email, do it more professionally than this post. Include a polite salutation ("Dear Professor"), complete and properly punctuated sentences, and a closing that includes your contact information.

    Honestly, approaching a professor in a professional, cooperative way goes a long way toward making him or her want to help you succeed.

    lol. This!

    Surely you have some sort of course tutor you can go to for advice?

    Otherwise, get plenty of sleep and study, study, study. I used to make spider diagrams of info, summarise notes, use different colours, test myself, look at past exam papers etc.

    this is a program that you can set up with a timer, and that will not allow you go on certain websites for a time. when i need to do work, i turn this program on. i have sites like faceook, mfp, icanhascheeseurger, etc.


    also, you need to say "i will work for X hours" and stick to it. do the hard sujects first.

    good luck.

    As someone hoping his students get a clue, I will give you the advice I give my students... If possible talk to the professor! No one can truly help you without knowing the particulars of what you are studying and what assignments/assessments have taken place to this point. Talk to the teaching assistants if there are any or go to the tutoring center... Look up the test bank questions from previous terms the professor has taught... Read, read, read, and then read some more... Educate yourself if the professor is unable or unwilling to help you become educated. At the end of the day the only person that can educate you is you.

    Judging by the topic name I would say try using a spelling and grammar checker before turning anything in...
