How To Take On College Studying


How to Take on College Studying
Develop Good Study Habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.                                                                                                             You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.
Think of college of a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.
                                Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.
Decide When to Study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.
Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evening and on the weekends.
Consider what time of day you are most alert-there are morning people and night owls-and try to schedule your studying accordingly.
Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

10 Time Management Tips for Students
Tips 5-10
Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.
Reviewing helps your reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.
Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.
Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.
Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Other
If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.
Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.
Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.
Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.
Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.
Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.
You can’t
 do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

“sharpen the saw “ they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- body, mind, heart, and soul
1.  Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
2.  Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

Habit 6
Habit 6: Synergize
Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value different and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win  and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this. Learn to celebrate differences.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, Just different.

5. Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will insure you teens learns the most important communication skill there is: active listen.
  Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need in the human heart is to be understood. Every one wants to be respected and valued a unique, One-Of-A-Kind, Never-To-Be-Cloned individual. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than they will want to hear. People don’t want to know how much you care. Lear to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand and to be understood-LISTEN.

7 Habits For A Successful Teen Habit 7


7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Habit 4
4. Think win-win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will clouds and give you the negative feelings.
  Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you the confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

Habit 2: begin with the end in mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they still wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision- making process. Keep your eyes on the price.” Determine your desired price and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your price. Then set another price, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your price in the mind; know where you are going.
  One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for your self is the prize of an perfect graduate from high-school that you will receive your diploma honestly and will integrity-that you will earn it with perfect honesty.

7 Habits Of Highly Successful Teens By: Sean Covey


7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
By: Sean Covey
And, being the parent of a teenager isn't any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Dean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”
How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say, “Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.
Covey himself had done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the students who can work independently. However, since most-if not all-of the learning takes place in your own time you will not have the direct supervision you would in a class room. Online learning therefore requires a lot. Reading and writing are the mostly online learning courses, so you get use to this form of communicating. While some courses includes modules that includes videos or another activity, all of them require a different of reading. And your communications with your classmates and your teacher will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course.

 10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.
An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skill problem for college students. It makes students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!
  The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments For Affective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professors, December 1994.
