Many of you know that I finished five out of eight of the semesters in my computer science degree before I eventually dropped out. When I dropped out, I had a 9.2 GPA. I was one of the top in my program. And the reason I had such high grades was because I followed this kind of regimen and did these tips and tricks. First of all, I only did high leverage activities. That means if I felt like a professor wasn't teaching me effectively, I didn't go to their lectures. If I thought a tutorial was a waste of time, I didn't go to the tutorial. I simply spent time at home learning the content on my own or watching YouTube videos of people that were more qualified to teach the material. I only did activities where I could actually see a tangible benefit in my learning. For example, I would never rewrite a note. I would never even hand write notes. All I would do is things that actually helped me learn the content. And the way that I evaluated that was by doing a ton of practice questions and focusing on practice exams and tests. So I was only learning the type of material that was actually going to be on some kind of assessment.
