If I could give just one piece of advice to math students, this would be it:
Keep up with the class. I will say it another way: Do not fall behind.
To an extent that is true in any field, of course, but it is particularly true in your math courses. More than any other field, math is relentlessly cumulative. Almost every class depends on what came in the immediately preceding classes. If you do not quite get the material in one class, you need to learn it yourself right away or you can pretty much expect to be lost in the next class.
Since it takes a huge effort to catch up once you fall behind, your best strategy is not to let yourself fall behind. If you do not understand something, deal with it right away. (Very few things magically become clear over time.) In class, ask a question. Do not wait: your brain will be nibbling at the thing you did not understand and that will distract you from the rest of the lecture.
