General Study Tips

Use your planner! Always write down assignments in daily planner to keep yourself organized for the end of the day. When you complete the assignment, check it off so you know it's complete.
 
Keep a clean organized locker. With a clean and organized locker you will be able to find things easily and not lose homework.
 
Organize! Keep your subject areas in seperate folders or a big binder. Keep all handouts, notes, work for each individual subject in the same spot. Again this makes it easier to find homework to do and turn in.
 
Come Prepared! Once organized all that you have left to remember is to bring your work to class with proper writing utensils.
 
At home. Set aside study time each night, away from the t.v. and extra noise. Check your planner and make sure your work is complete.
