What study techniques must a college student acquire in order to succeed in advance math or science classes?
I'm a student at a community college pursuing an engineering associate's degree. Recently, I've been struggling with classes that involve complex math or science concepts. Examples of such classes are multivariable calculus and general physics with calculus. Also, I’m a slower learner, and it takes me a while to understand the concepts better. However, since the community college follows a quarter system, I always feel I do not have enough time to go over stuff I've learned in class. Thus, I'd like to know if there is a specific way to study for complex topics or any study tips that can help to retain more information
