“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

9. …. don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective cram sessions, and they practice it.

if there is one thing that study skills specialists agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night short. Concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the nest day. It takes time. Cramming for test next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

“What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn't always right”

-Howard Cosell

Reflection: what this statement means is that everything you do isn't always popular.

-For example: if you change the way you look or act then you won’t become you will just be known as a fake. OR if you do something to impress someone, you won become popular you will be known as that one girl/boy. And if you are popular then you’re not being yourself which is not choosing the right!!

7. … understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

                If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like your bored, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: learn forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor; nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor main also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. … talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. you really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. so, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “talk-learning” producers a whole host of memory trace that result in more learning.

5. Dont sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning. Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no.4.). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course we know they chose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push you hot buttons, is there something else you be doing with your time.

6… take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, an review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the question now that questions are necessary to make you notes meaningful at some later time. a short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take because.

3.    . . .  ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. Its your choice.

4.     . . . learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: They would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

         

   Successful students reflect well on efforts of any teacher; if you have learned, your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they aren't an enemy, and you share the same interest, the same goals – in short, your teammate. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up losing season. Be a team player!

Successful Students 1-2

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behavior as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students…

1.        Are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it! Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grades, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, and you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there , ct bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you could actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2.      …have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires.

 

Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answer to these questions to represent your “Hot Buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student. If your educational goals are truly yours, not someone else’s, they will motivate a vital and positive academic attitude. If you are familiar with what these hot buttons represent and refer to them often, especially when you tire of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and done, everything can and will!

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

Study for Multiple Exams Part 1

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 test Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for other tests. My overall study method: I try to break it up over all several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all nighter. How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: If I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habits for that I class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometimes discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.

Part 3

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. Its not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things  down and have good time o management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and that is willing to help you. If you try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find ! good luck !

Work Together Part 2

English, math, foreign, language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is math. It’s the same for chemistry: if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not for memorization like history, you need to be able to apple what you have learned in practical situations, As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know that my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. I was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also it was the first paper where they were like here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. Every night I would be doing research on writing I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full information A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

you can succeed everyday part 1

        You can succeed every day

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming Never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big test, but I never stayed up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested. How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically I do not stress out about bad grades that much because for me they are not worth getting up upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However if I do not get a bad grade or one lower than I expected I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I wont be surprised by the question.

Effective study methods

How I deal with multiple project/test: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know I ill take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I’m really in crunch for a time on a specific day, I will study for one  test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I gt much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to skin in.

My time management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have to run errands or hang out with friends ever. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I’m going to email people, write letters or study. It works me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I planned ahead espically if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and red on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.
