Operation GPA 4.0: A slight tweak which will dramatically improve your GPA and your student life

As pointed out by Srinivas Rao, sometimes in life there are slight changes which will lead to great changes. As Rao says: "the slightest bit of increased effort could make a huge difference in your results". He points out 7 ways in which this is particularly true, but I want to signify one in particular, related to academic life, and particularly true for foreign language learning.

"In a home study course by Jack Canfield I heard the difference between a 3.0 student in college and a 4.0 student in college came down to one simple difference. The 4.0 student reviewed his or her notes from class every night before going to sleep. Reviewing notes from an hour long lecture, if you are doing it every day shouldn’t take more than about 15 minutes. If you have 4 classes, an extra hour a day is all the difference is between a 4.0 student and a 3.0 student."
