1st Off.
YOU WILL MISS CLASS, heres how to somewhat make up for it.
Find the People Tape Recording The Lectures and sit by them (there is always a few of them), and start recording the lectures with them. Now here is the genius part, when you miss lecture just ask one of them if you can borrow their tape from they day. Since you are a fellow recorder they will be ok with it, and they will ask you for your tapes when they miss. If you are screwing off you can listen to the lecture at least. If the professor posts the lectures to his website even better.
***RECON***
Do a Little Reseach in choosing classes, it will pay off big time.
ALWAYS GO TO A PROFESSORS WEBSITE BEFORE YOU TAKE THE CLASS.
Find out what book is being used, go to the library and look it over. Different Profs use different books, look at what each section is using for a book.
IF THE PROFESSOR IS NOT TO YOUR LIKING ON THE FIRST DAY CONSIDER OTHERS. YOU CAN GO TO JUST ABOUT ANY CLASS ON THE FIRST WEEKS AND LISTEN TO THE SPILLS. Or Go talk to them before hand. Good Professors Make going to class and paying attention a lot easier. This wont work if there is only one section, or one prof teaches them all.
Be Realistic, Be Prepared.
