I have a question.. So my teacher just talks the whole class about information and the thing is.. I'll be listening but then after awhile I'll accidentally wander off and just miss information I needed to know. Are there good tips for me to just stay focused the whole time..

Because I'm not the type of learner who can just sit there and remember the information so I just hope there are some tips
One way to stay alert is to take notes on what the teacher is saying. You need to show will power and determination. Plus you need to learn -- that's why you are in school!
Yeah he usually gives us printed notes where we just fill in blank spaces. He tells us what to fill it in with after he's done talking about the topic. But before we fill in the notes, he usually explains to use the topic which where I drift off
Like for example when he talks about Eli Whitney and Interchangeable parts we have a little section in the notes that we have to fill in but we do it after he's done talking. Even though he'll tell us what goes in the blank, I miss information he tells us beforehand
Take notes on your own paper while he's talking.
I'm the same way too bro, don't worry. School is sometimes complicated because everyone has different learning styles. What I do to not drift off is to either just look at the teacher while he talks because usually if my teacher talks but I don't look at him that gives me the opportunity to drift off. So just give eye contact and also write down notes. Another trick I do to keep my mind in reality is tapping a pencil on my leg to keep my mind running.
Okay, Thanks to both of you!
You're welcome. Good luck!
