> 1. Follow actively the lessons.

It sounds obvious, but I wonder if this works for everyone. I've always had a very hard time to follow lessons (I studied maths then CS), but did work hard on the side and ultimately did quite well at tests and national exams.

I think the lecture format didn't work well for me, and I would have been better off with the just material, and access to a professor for questions.
