In addition to writing one of the best posts I've ever seen, Daniel has also made a point which I'd like to add on to. I find that often participating in class helps you learn by forcing you to concentrate. When one is engaged in the topic at hand, they learn easier. I find a strong correlation between those who are actively learning and good grades.
