Study Buddy

While students should attend all of their classes, in reality we all know this rarely happens. In such cases, it is important for students to have a friend, or aquaintance they can get the makeup work from. Many teachers post assignments on a website or a syllabus, but for those who don't, they may not be so willing to email you what youve missed.

By switching emails or phone numbers with another student in the class, you not only gain access to work you have missed, but if something is unclear or you don't understand, they either can help you, or get help with you.

I know I feel awkward sometimes talking to students in my class I don't know, but its important to do so. It's a good life skill to have as well. It's doubtful that if you ask someone to switch information that they say no. It's helping them as well.
