Last Ditch Efforts: How to Save Your Grade

As the fall semester comes to a close, most of us have a grade (or four) that we want to bring up before it's too late. Whether you want to bring that A- up to an A (you grade-grubbing fool) or are just looking to pass, Flyby has a few tips.

1. Libraries still exist
At this point, Lamont may seem like it has become your home. Or maybe your source of exercise comes from walking up Widener's steps. Either way, keep up the hard work. The unfortunate truth that you may just now be realizing is that libraries actually do lead to productivity.

2. Attendance
While this point may seem obvious, going to class will probably help improve your grade. We know it’s the end of semester and you have minimal motivation to go to your 9 a.m. SPU class that you never wanted to take in the first place. You only have a few weeks left. If you got into Harvard, you can probably wake up for class.

3. Harvard- Yale
Try not to forget everything you learned while spending the weekend in New Haven. Attempt to be somewhat prepared for that exam you still can’t believe your professor scheduled for Monday.

4. If at first you don't succeed, participate
Be that kid in section. In the fight for late-semester participation points, it's every man for himself.

5. Reading Period
Reading period is called reading period for a reason. Right? So open a book and get cracking.
