Answer 1

So it generally happens that you are concentrating on a subject and your mind starts wandering in a different world, sometimes you realize it soon and get back to where you left but at times complete lecture is over and you are unable to focus which might lead to disequilibrium in class.
You think that you have wasted time and missed an important lecture or information which you won't be able to understand later. This happens quite frequently. To overcome this situation or anything related to this, one must practice meditation so that you can concentrate on one particular thing at a time and your mind does not start wandering. It is the easiest possible solution.
Generally, whenever I came across a situation where I was not able to understand something, I came back from class, searched all available material related to that topic and video lectures as well so that I have enough sources to at least get an idea of whatever was taught and later went to doubt clearing sessions of that particular professor. This has always helped me concentrating and understanding whatever I missed in class.
As Piaget suggests that "in order to achieve equilibrium the child must first encounter disequilibrium."
Once you realize that you are lagging concentration or are in disequilibrium then only you can make efforts to work in a way to achieve equilibrium in your life.
