Student success statement

“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 un sound (and not good).” –joseph smith
This student success statement means to always choose the right

                                                                      9. … don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.
If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch effort 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 hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wastful habit. Not too clever, huh?
When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, nd shortcuts nevr produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, 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 next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a 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.

High school graduation – pleasure or pain


pleasure!feels good to graduate

Successful students 5-6

5. Don’t 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 professors teammate ( see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all 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 your hot buttons; is there something else you should be doing with your rime?

6… take good notes. Successful Students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often. Why push into your notes something you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful 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, theless you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take you because you don’t have to include deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve

3. ...ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and 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 silences. It’s 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 the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals in short your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. You’re to work together for mutual success. Neither wish’s to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

 Successful students part 1-2
 
Successful students exhibit a combination Successful student’s exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors 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 grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can 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? Answers to these question represent you “hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors 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 are tire of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and don’t everything can and will!

STUDY FOR MULTIPLE EXAMS PART 3

 English, Math Foreign language tips: Practice—especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little thing that will help.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college, and never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason- uses them !

Reflection

My reflection is about Jackie McConnell the trainer for rich owner who wanted their Tennessee walking horses to dominate the competition. Jackie McConnell viciously trained horses badly. He would put dangerous substances on the ankles for horses legs making open sores to appear just so that the horses could start jumping rapidly. 

Study for Multiple Exams


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 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 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 time I spread out my time before hand. 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. 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 habit for 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.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 2

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.
My time management secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 1

Time management became key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out for the chapter we read (even while it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when midterm or test domes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had tested one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.
 My overall study method: structured. One thing I learned  was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class--even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success

Part 3

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing not many will say is to ask for help if you need it. It’s not a bad thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed 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 management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to 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 fing! Good luck!

WORK TOGETHER

Part 1

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. It 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. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first 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.

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