Never… ever… ever… ever sign up for a class before giving this site a shot.
Bad teachers leave their mark like the plague. Dead students have to get dragged out of their classrooms at the end of the year. (Okay… metaphorically speaking.)
If you’re paying for your class then pay for the one that doesn’t suck.
Learning on Khan Academy is sort of like playing a game. It’s that, except 12 hours later, when you realize how long you’ve played you won’t feel like a complete schlub.

http://www.wikipedia.com/
Yes… Wikipedia is way better than your textbook. (Studies have even shown it’s accuracy is nearly the same.) Naturally, you’re going to find biased articles. You’re going to find incorrect information. That being said, going into the site knowing the limitations and you’ll find one of the most complete and quick resources on any subject.
I hope I don’t have to explain how awesome Amazon is. Competitive textbooks. Good prices on pretty much anything. With two day shipping it’s even better.
And… it’s free… why the hell not?
Okay… this was a quick one but this is pretty much 4 years of college education.
Enjoy!

You need to create positive associations with academics. You want your brain to be getting hyped up and positive when you’re thinking about studying and giving into this internal oligarchical instinct to force yourself to studying – ain’t helpin’.
Chill the internal dictator for a moment…
A big secret: You need to STOP forcing yourself to study so much.
But, if you’re not forcing yourself then how are you going to see those killer straight-a’s that you’re always dreaming about?
