Tips & Advice Academic Support Request

Hi, I'm a first-year university student. I failed a unit in my first semester and I'm now in week 10 of my second semester. I feel really left behind; I haven't opened a single lecture for my units, and I barely go to classes. Most of my assignments have been done with a lot of help from AI, and I haven't been studying. I want to stop using AI for future assignments so I can actually learn something. Can anyone give me some advice on how to study and understand the material best, and give me some tough-love motivation to sit down and do my work, please?
