Sit In on Weed Out Classes Before Taking Them For A Grade

If you find out that you're going to be taking a weed-out class for next year, try to sit in on it during the year/semester before (depending on whether the class is offered only once, twice, or even three times during the year).

Don't bother buying the textbook because teachers like to change textbooks between years, even semesters.

Most weed-out classes, meaning that they try to 'weed-out' the lesser people from the programin which they're currently enrolled, are huge. You won't be noticed as someone not enrolled in the class. Just don't show up for exams. If you have a pop quiz, just write some fake name down. You can try Twinkle Bear.

You don't have to actually learn anything, but just try to become familiar with the terms. That way, when you're in the class for a grade, it wouldn't take you by surprise like Organic Chemistry did for me. The first time I saw some of the terms were on the exam.

PLAYING SUDOKU OR DOING CROSSWORD PUZZLES IN A WEEDOUT CLASS IS STUPID, AND YOU WILL REGRET IT.
