Work Together

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 need it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan your time out so you are completing everything that’s needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time 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 is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would try harder to fail than I try 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!

Choose The Right!!!

Student success statement

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again”

Etienne de Grellet

Reflection: This statement is really true. You only live once in this earth and you shall live it happy and bright. Any good, kindness, or positive things you shall do now because you only live once and there’s no turning back. Live a happy life and not a life full of misery, hate, and sadness. You will never live again therefore make the best out of your life and choose the right! Don’t live a filthy life just choose thr right and your life will become a lot better!

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there is a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old test, i use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so I have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times spaced rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, ‘oh no repeating something.” You need to get used to it for example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering Is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it a numerous amount of times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practice ®Proficiency®Pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

Student Success Statement

“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

-Anon

Reflection: I agree a lot with this statement. If you do the right you will never regret it. On the other hand you will be proud of yourself and feel good that you did the right. If you do the right you will get a nice feeling but if you choose the wrong you will be filled with regret, shame, and guilt. Choose the right and you will never regret what you did!

Academic Success

Part 2

Laura B.’s academic success story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the materials just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth  much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see, In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.
