Student Success Statment

Reflection: I think that it means that you have to concentrate on the popular and the right things. That concentrating on the wrong things. An to do what everybody is doing, which is Choosing The Right. For example, you see a guy opening a door to an elderly person, hes Choosing The Right, so you will say thats  very nice so I want to do it to, and that Is Choosing The Right. So Choose The Right.

  9. … don’t cram for exams. Successful students that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.
  I there is one study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last- pitch efforts know it as cramming. You’ll learn more, and you will do better by studying in four.
  When you cram, you are taking the short cut, and short cuts never produce any real life results. Also, When you take short cuts, you feel rotten that you could have done better but didn’t. Short cuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and make watermelon grow the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or a project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting a watermelon seed and expect to eat is the next day. Plus cramming for a test or a 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.

Student Success Statement

Reflection: I think that it means that when you do something Right it is not popular. And that you don't need to follow everybody else to be popular. For example that if there is a new shirt or sweater or any new clothing company that is out, you don't need to follow everybody else and have it or get it. So Go do whats Right and always Choose 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. Act like your bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like your disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward place your feet on the floor and maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally.
  8. … talk about what they are learning. Successful students get to know well enough that they can put it into word. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, it is checking if your answer is write or wrong, its a proven learning tool. Turning problems into words it a proven learning tool. Talk about note, problems, reading, etc. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

  5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Success students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.
 Students want the best seat available for their entertainment. The students that sit in the back are not the teachers teammate. Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive class experiences and distractions with all the people around them and their instructor? Of course, we know why they choose the back of the classroom because they seek nobody. Push your hot button to something else.
  6. … take good notes successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.
  Why put something in your notes that you don’t understand? Ask the question  know that is necessary to make your notes meaningful. Make your notes fresh while your time is still good. The more you learn then the more you less learn later. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them the more you improve.

  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 two extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. Get an answer now or fail later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.
4. … learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would what you to learn the material in their respected classes and earn a good grade.
  Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor take some justifiable pride in teaching. Your jobs is to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player.

          Part 1-2
  Successful students exhibit a combination of success attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students get involved in their studies accepted responsibility for their own education, and are active participation in it! Responsibility means control. It’s different between leading than being led. Active participation improves your skills. You can sit there act bored, day dream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, and ask questions. Either options cost on experience. However the formal method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to reach that degree of learning that latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.
  2. . .  . have additional goals. Successful students have legitimate goals. Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why am I sitting here right know? Is there some better place I can be? What does my presence here mean to me? The most importance success as a college student. If your educational goals are really your, not someone else’s they will motivate a positive attitude. If you are familiar with these hot buttons represent to them often, especially when you tire off being a student, nothing can stop you; if you are aren’t and don’t, everything can, and will!

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, you can translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things 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 ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for reason-use them!

  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 and sometimes organize an outline before actually writing. I sometimes print out the paper and comeback to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way to check it. I have to give my eyes a break on it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I always find errors.
  How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are suppose to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or give the word for it.

Study For Multiple Exams Part 1


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 the other tests. My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all-nigher. How I've overcome and initial bad grade: if I didn't prepare properly or I didn't use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong 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.

  My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of test or subjects. For me, any type of mat exceptionally difficult so I could spend extra time on that. I would go back on the math problems that I had problems on working 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 will create a sort of study guide for myself many times on focusing on what key focal points in the class. If I knew they were going to easy I would try to take the terms I will try to turn them into examples or create different concepts on the question on the concepts focus on throughout the semester.
  My time management secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlights to show what different events on the calendar show. 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.

  Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not may will say is to ask for help if 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 needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Asking for help is probably the good thing to do. If you don’t understand, go to office hours to see when you can find help or somebody that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I will find my self to try harder and fail than I fail and succeed. It is something that in with me to succeed. If that is not who you are, than hopefully things that I show you will help you succeed is something amazing to find!
Good luck!

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 for 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 just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply 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 take all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave then till the last second.

I can and I 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. 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 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 just fewer than 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I have received my first A+ in my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved I was really happy and proud of my self.

  My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because other wise I forget what I am suppose to be talking about. I try not to leave then till the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write about of what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or the research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it makes you take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.
  How I succeed in team projects; Personally, I do not like working in group projects, especially ones that I work on in High School. However, whenever it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because now I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and Io don’t think I am going to change that any time soon, so when I need to work with people that don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste more other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know thing are going to be done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people that all want to work, then it is a different story.

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 never stay 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 grades that much because of me they are not worth getting really upset about them. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower that I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

Effective Study Methods



                    Effective Study Methods

  How I deal with multiple projects/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 part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I know I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch of time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other one in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the study into different sections, I feel like I get 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 time to run errands or hang out with my friends even. 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 am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planer that goes by the day and shows me to 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. Iplan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus, plane, or 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 in things late or not being in class.
