actually try to listen in class- I always got distracted- don't be like me. Go over powerpoints before quizzes and tests- the assessments are always exactly what was on the slides!! The Doc Analysis are hard- but try going over the slides and notes of the topic before doing it. MOST IMPORTANT DONT try doing your historical analysis submission three a week before its due- just don't do it save yourself from a lot of anxiety by starting at least two weeks before- this way you will have more time to ask questions and talk to Mr Swanton about how to improve. BTW the marks for this class are not going to be standardized,
