Don't always believe the professor on the first day of class because they always talk about how much work they will give throughout the semester. Remember the professor has to grade this work too.
不要总是相信老师在第一节课上说的话。因为他们在第一节课上总是会说他们在这个学期里会布置多么多的作业。记住，他们也得改这么多的作业。

Don't be scared to talk to or ask your professors or teaching assistants questions. Remember they are there to help you. That's why they hold office hours. Go to their office hours regularly or when needed and don't wait till the last minute to ask them questions.
不要害怕和你的老师或者助教谈话或者提问。记住他们在这儿是来帮助你的，这就是为什么他们有专门的办公室接待时间。经常在这段时间去问问题，别等到考试前最后一刻才想起去问。

If you can't make it to all the office hours, then go to review sessions before exams. You will see how helpful these may be when you are pressed for time to study a lot.
如果你不能每次都去办公室问问题，那就去考试前的复习课。如果你学习的时间有限，你就会发现这些复习课是多么的有用。

Use the resources at your school. The library is always a great place to study.
好好利用学校的资源。图书馆一直是学习的胜地。

Attend class. Even if attendance is not taken, attendance keeps you on top of things.
不要翘课。就算出勤率不算分，去上课也能让你一直在这门课上保持领先。

Avoid procrastination. Waiting till the last day to work on a paper is not a good idea. Break your work up into chunks. Just think if you started it when it was assigned. You could always have fun and relax after.
不要拖延。等到最后一天才去写论文，这并不是一个好主意。把你的工作分为几小块。想想如果从作业布置下来就开始动手，那么你到最后的那几天就能放松享受了。
