Advice from previous students:

Don't leave your essay until the last weekend
Finish the book far ahead of the discussion
Take notes - sticky notes are great
Essay writing: narrow thesis (PLANNING)
Pay attention to the historical era (context)
Write a practice essay right away
Bring a list of discussion questions - don't get bogged down
on plot
Be self disciplined
