College Organization: Tip 6

Ask the Professor Questions

This isn't really an organization tip, but it's something good to do and know. On the first day of class don't be afraid to ask the professor questions:

• Do you need a notebook or a binder? It might be a lot of note taking in the class, so you need a notebook or the teacher might pass out a lot of hand outs instead and a binder is better to use to store them.

                                          

• Do you need to bring the textbook every class? Lugging a heavy textbook around is no fun and it's especially annoying if you don't even use it in class, so then you carried it around for no reason. 

These questions can save you time and energy, so ask your professor and mostly likely other students in the class were wondering the same thing.
