Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: This Reflection by Thomas Carlyle is very true. A person without a goal is like a ship without a rudder. If someone doesn’t have a goal then they don’t know what to do in life or how to accomplish what they want. A shipper without a rudder can navigate itself or move, in relation with a person, a goal serves the same as a rudder because it navigates people to their dreams. If you don’t have a goal, you won’t be able to accomplish anything and won’t know what to succeed it. Choose the right and set a goal for yourself.

Getting the Most out of a session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·       Decide what you’re going to do in advance

·       Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·       Take turns teaching, to reinforce your knowledge.

·       Stick to the session topic

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not your friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Guidelines for getting a group together

Here are some guide lines for creating and running a study group: how many? Create a group of four to six people. In a large group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concept and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material. Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that if free of distraction and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than 2 to 3 hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more than likely to stay on task.

When try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensure that everyone attends.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve calculus problems together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members offer have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

Walk the talk

Reflection:

This was a very nice video. It made me feel peaceful and it was overall a great video. It talks about being honest, respectful, doing what’s right, and being a better person. It also talked about commitment and how it is important. This video made me realize that many things make up a good person. We should all be respectful, honest, and fair, have integrity, be committed and follow our dreams. I really enjoyed watching this video it brought my mind peace and it was really nice. Choose the right and walk the talk!!!

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choice”

-Albert A. Montapert

Reflection: This statement makes total sense. I agree a lot with Albert A. Montapert. Nobody will or ever will escape his or her consequences. All the choices you make come with consequences and you can’t escape them. Either good or bad there is no way you can escape your consequences. For example if you steal something you will eventually get caught and will go to jail. Everything you choose or decide on come with consequences and you can’t escape them. Choose the tight and let the good consequences come to you!

How to Take On College Studying

Part 3

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapter you are assigned –you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·       Don’t Skim. Read all the material carefully

·       Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections, or even paragraphs.

·       Look up any word you don’t understand.

·       Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·       Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points

·       Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
