“He listens well who takes notes.”

-Dante Alighieri

Reflection: This statement is very true. Note taking is a very important part in learning and refreshing your memory with things you have learned. Those who take notes have excellent hearing skill and listens to what is right. For example, I had a trig test a Wednesday and I had forgotten many little things, but luckily I had my notes and they were a big help refreshing my memory. If I hadn’t studied my notes or have any notes I would have failed but I was really fortunate to have my notes. Taking Notes is really important. Choose the right and take notes!!!!

Note-Taking Strategies

During Class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell Note-Taking System. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.   Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.   Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis

4.   Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.   Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.   Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

JJJJMy Best friendsJJJJ

My best friends are the best and they are super cool. Lately I haven’t seen them and I’ve been pretty sad. One of my best friends Evelyn moved to a different school outside of town and it really affected me and my best friends Rafaela and Jaque. We are super close and are always there for each other when we are in need. We go out, have fun, talk, and help each other out. The bond I have created with my best friends is unbreakable and not even distance or school segregations can break us apart. Two of my best friends go to SSJ so I see them rarely and my other best friend Evelyn moved to Santa Fe springs high school. It’s really weird not seeing them for a long time because I am so used to seeing them.  Although we don’t see each other much we still keep in contact. I’ve really been missing them but I can’t wait for Friday to go out and have fun all together.

“When you believe you can – you can.”

                              -Dr. Maxwell Maltz

Reflection: Dr. Maxwell Maltz is absolutely correct. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything in the world. Don’t set yourself back, just believe in yourself and success will come your way. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish your goals and be successful in life. If you don’t believe yourself, then you won’t accomplish anything. It all begins with you, and if you believe you can, you will succeed and accomplish anything you want to accomplish. Choose the right and believe in yourself!!!

Ho to get your class notes in shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying hard and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you do both. Here are the basics.

Stay Organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help  you if you can find them. When you’re taking note be sure to

·       Keep all your notes in one place

·       Date and Number pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later

Before Class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any questions you have.

Student Success Statement

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”

Woodrow Wilson

 Reflection: I agree a lot with Woodrow Wilson. You have to fight for what you want.  You have to fight for your goals in life. You have to fight all the challenges and obstacles put in front of you.  For example if you want to be successful in life you have to do all your work and try very hard in school. You have to fight for what’s right. You should never fight for what’s wrong because that’s only harming yourself and others. Choose the right and fight for what’s right.  

Distance Education: Is a virtual Classroom for You?

Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer—and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your Internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go someplace where you do have access to the Internet.  

Decide Whether it’s Right for You

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may better perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give distance education a try; then, decide if its right for you.
