I make sure that I participate in daily discussions, check myself to constantly see that my work is correct and most importantly make sure my work is in on time. You don’t have to be six hours early but a few minutes before the deadline is just fine, utilize all the time you can it is worth it. That is how I incorporate my own personal responsibility plan into my college work.
