UCSB has a program, called CLAS, that can help you improve your grades in all your courses, including Soc 152A. We strongly recommend that you go to the CLAS Center, in Building 300, and ask about their services.Soc 152A is a course that demands considerable study time if you want to earn a high grade. CLAS can help you spend your study time effectively, rather than waste it doing inefficient things.
At the beginning of many quarters, CLAS has a special test taking training program designed just for Soc 152A. It is wise to go to CLAS during the first week of the quarter to sign onto their list for obtaining this special training.
If you are a freshman or come from a junior college, you may benefit a great deal. In Soc 152A, you are competing with sophomores, juniors and seniors; and many of those students have their study skills highly developed. CLAS can help you compete more effectively.
