If you find yourself unprepared for class, take these steps to keep the attention away from you.

Step 1: Sit in the back
Sit in the back of the classroom, preferably behind someone who consistently engages in classroom discussions.

Step 2: Look confident
Sit tall and look as if you are thinking about the question while wearing a confused look on your face.

Tip
Avoid looking down, which could attract the teacher's attention and increase your chances of being called on.

Step 3: Be alert
Be alert and pay attention. Do not stare out the window, pick at your nails, or doodle.

Step 4: Look through your notes
Look through your notes as if you're trying to search for a forgotten answer.

Step 5: Raise your hand
Raise your hand, and when called on, ask the teacher if you can be excused to use the lavatory.
