Use the website ratemyprofressor.org. It is extremely helpful, but overall I've had great teachers.

Make sure you know exactly what you want to do and meet with your academic counselor to ensure you are taking the right classes. With the rising costs of books and tuition, along with the teachers, your counselors are your last line of defense against the multitude of classes that you may or may not need to complete. Work hard and it could definitely pay off here.

Meet with academic adviser often, don't rely on the athletic adviser to help you plan your degree path. Take charge of getting your required classes out of the way first because class availability is limited.

Be interactive and participate. These teachers are here because they like teaching and spreading knowledge; they don't get paid well enough to slack off on their job.

Use the Teachers! They are your tools to get by.
