How Can I Stay Focused on a Required Boring Subject?

Answer 1

Find a way to make the subject interesting by your own accord outside of the class itself. Do some research of your own to see if you can learn more about the given subject matter than what is being covered during the course of the course itself. Be creative with your growing knowledge of the material on the whole so that the information can come to life and be more meaningful for you personally, and possibly your peers as well. If possible, connect your own outside interests to what is being taught in the course so that the newly learned content can appear more comprehensible than before and therefore all the more relevant to your own life and mindset.

Good luck with your course(s)!

Answer 2

First, find a motivating factor. This can be intrinsic, or extrinsic. If you think of the course as boring you're apt to zone out. Take notes, interact with the teacher, and at all costs avoid distractions like your phone. Feel free to book a session to discuss the exact situation, and strategies that could help!
