AP students, in particular, need to be careful about stressing over grades. Youve been sold a bill of goods if your teachers told you AP classes are just like

6、college classes. They arent. College classes are more difficult and much more thorough.

10、写和收集数据。好好利用这一点。在办公时间拜 访你的教授，看看你如何能参与到他们的研究中去。教师通常欢迎帮助，并希望本科生参与研究。他 们也很喜欢谈论自己的工作。6 The previous summer, my grandparents had retired to Tennessee, and wed taken our first family road trip to visit them. Apparently, I kept careful track of our route and it rained a lot on the way. As for England, I kne
