First point is just not true. That may be the case within the country of Japan, but it certainly isn't within America. Also, I haven't debated a single grade with any of my profs and I've been 'actually learning'. I don't know a single person who has debated for anything more than a point or two on a test. On that point too, why is debating with a prof a bad thing? You should be able to advocate for yourself and look out for your own interests, especially as an adult and college is as good a place as any to develop that school.
To the op: My own experience with college has taught me that you should stay on top of your school work and not wait until the night before an assignment is due to finish it. I'd assume this is a pretty universal truth about college, but you should pay extra attention so you don't have to play catch up like I did the second half of my first semester.
