      To get good grades at university, be sure to show up to each class with the required materials and spend 10-15 minutes reviewing your notes before class begins. Next, create a daily schedule for yourself and try to study a little bit each day rather than cramming right before a big test. If you need help understanding any of your course materials, don't hesitate to reach out to your professor, the professor's TA, or a private tutor to ensure your academic success!
