It can be difficult to succeed in an English class at college or in high school. This is especially true if you don’t like English. However, there are some specific, straightforward actions you can take to increase your chances of success.
Start off strong and work on your reading and writing skills to reach your objectives. Reach out for additional assistance if you are having trouble or if you want to guarantee your success in your English class!
1. At the beginning of the semester, read the syllabus.
A class syllabus is similar to a contract between you and your instructor. It explains what your teacher or professor expects of you. When you receive the syllabus, read it carefully and ask any questions you may have.
Ask your teacher or professor for clarification if you have any questions. If your question is about an assignment, this is especially important.
If your teacher or professor uses an electronic syllabus, they can make any changes they want to. Be sure to frequently check the syllabus for updates, even if they may have announced any changes.
Make a note of any crucial dates or details you want to quickly access later.
2. Show up to every class.
It is normal to miss classes once or twice during a semester, but failing English if you miss too many classes is certain. Be sure to show up for class on time. You won’t have to miss any of the lessons because of this.
If you arrive late, some instructors may mark you absent. To avoid losing points for being late, arrive on time.
Email your instructor or professor as soon as possible if you must miss a class. Check the makeup policy of your professor or teacher and the syllabus before the class. Make certain that you adhere to the syllabus’s protocol.
3. During the first day of class, introduce yourself to your instructor or professor
Because they called your name during roll call, you might have the impression that your instructor or professor knows who you are. However, professors and teachers have a lot of students, so learning everyone’s name will take some time. Introduce yourself to the instructor or professor to make it easier for them to remember who you are.
Try saying something along the lines of, Jon Smith is who I am. I just wanted to say hi and express my excitement for your class.
A good time to ask questions is when you introduce yourself to your professor. Ask them questions about the class, the texts that are required, and the assignments.
To build a working relationship with them, visit them during office hours early in the semester.
4.In a planner, keep track of important due dates
Get organized before the semester begins. Buy a day planner or use an app on your phone because you’ll have a lot of due dates to remember. Use the app or planner to keep track of important English class due dates.
For instance, if you have a paper due on February 15, add an entry to your planner or app that says something like, “Paper #1 due today.”
