7. How to Pass Global Science There is no secret to doing well in highschool. 1. Show up every day READY TO LEARN. 2. Come prepared, pay attention, take notes, participate and ask questions. 3. DO your OWN work! (Copying/Cheating is NOT learning.) 4. Review your notes. 5. Stay organized. Keep all of your papers by date in a binder.
