B She did state however she knew she could have received an A if she would have read the textbook a few times According to many students the average teacher will assign about one chapter of reading per lecture For some this is one chapter too many When students were asked do you think the teacher knows when you have not read The majority answered yes Then how do you still get a B The response was as long as you show up to class and completes the homework that does n not t require reading the teacher will give you a good grade So is the key to getting through college not reading No Classes get Q Jet et harder once you are done at If you are going to succeed you need to read For now while attending keep lugging around your textbooKS textbooks textbooks text- text booKS that may some day cause you to seek chiropractic care For those that want to achieve higher education it might be wise to open the book but for those that just want to get by good luck I |
