In order to engage, you need to connect with the material you’re learning. It helps to enjoy the topic that you’re studying, but you can probably find a connection to something you love even in an uninteresting class. For example, if you like geography and are in a not-quite-engaging history class, you could try to focus on how geography influenced the history you’re studying. As you begin to link together the things you’re learning, ask questions and look for answers. Talk to your professors about these connections. It’s an incredibly engaging way to learn, but in the end, you’ll probably discover that you have a good grade to show for it as well. You'll perform much better if you play to your strengths rather than try to be good at everything.
