I would say some helpful tips would be to study hard, take many notes in class, and be involved. Try your hardest to really understand the material you're learning and ask questions when you don't fully understand what you're being taught.

Don't expect to breeze through every class because it's just community college. Teachers expect you to try your hardest and do set some challenging, long assignments. They're also willing to work with you if you have serious problems, though, so don't be afraid to ask for help!

My best advice would be to take advantage of all that your teacher has to offer. I learned a lot of practical, in the trenches, kind of information from my marketing teacher that I would not have learned in a book. This was invaluable to my career decision.

Always be on time to classes, and come prepared. Be very attentive and ready to participate in class. Take it seriously; just because it is a community college doesn't mean that it should be treated lightly.

Sign up for classes as early as possible once they are opened for the next semester. Try not to miss class unless mandatory, or else you may find yourself behind and struggling to get caught up. Also, take as many notes as possible, they are great tools for studying for exams.
