"Going to class regularly has helped me stay organized, practice time management and has enhanced my learning. Attending every lecture allows me to take notes, ask questions and encode material I need to succeed on assignments, projects and exams. I have also found that I perform better overall in the classes that I attend the most. Plus, going to class has given me the opportunity to connect with other people in my major or minor."
