Having good communication with your professor is very helpful. Take advantage of your professors’ office hours. Even if you feel you don’t need to go see a professor during office hours, you should make a visit anyway. There are always questions you can ask, advice you can seek, etc. Also, any time you receive an email from a professor that is not simply an announcement sent to the whole class, you should respond promptly. Even if the course material doesn’t particularly interest you, cultivating good communication is to your benefit. Consider it practice for the future.
