. . .don’t cram from 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 efforts known as craning. 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 four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, intensive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it 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 a 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.

7....... undertsand that action affects learing successful stuents know there personal behavior after their feeling and emotions which can affect learning.

if you act in a certain way that normally produce particular feelings you will begin to feel those feelings. act like you're bored 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 flat on the floor maintain eye contact with the professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic. 

8... talk about what thy're learning. successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. talking about something with friends or classmates is not only good for checking whether or not you know something its a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory you already don't know materials until you can out it into words so, next time you study dont do it silently talk about notes problems reading etc with friends recite to a chair organize an oral study group pretend your teaching your peers talk learning produce a whole host of memory trace that result in more learning.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

Students want the best for their entertainment dollars, but willingly want the best seat for their education dollars. Students that sit in the back can’t possibly be there professor teammate (see no.40). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experience. And distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know that they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility and anonymity, both in which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, then why are you wasting your time?

6. . . .take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, 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. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go for it. Get the answer now, or fail a question 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 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 interest, the same goals – in short, your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable to player on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither your wishes to chaulk up a losing season. Be a team player!

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that only a good thing makes you feel good and a bad thing makes you feel bad. In other words, whenever you know or do good you will feel good, but if you know or do bad, you will feel bad.

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students…

1. 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 being lead. 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 listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option cost one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2. Educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires. Ask yourself these questions: What am I? Why have I chosen to be sitting down here? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent your “Hot Buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success. If your educational goals 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 tire of being a student, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and doesn’t, everything can, will!

my strategies for written assignments: everyonme has their own writing styles. i generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of researched then sometimes prepare an outline 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 it 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 to reword.

How i succeed in team project: never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. have a regular meetings and have each memeber show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

Study for Multiple Exams

part 1

How I study for 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 pread 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 Thursday and part Friday. Start Studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part Saturday, then my second Tuesday test 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 began reviewing for the other test. 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 nighter. How 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 that 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 exam.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of test 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 an 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 the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the focused on throughout the 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 frequency, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due 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.

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there where time I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This is not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test 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 charge my study methods according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But make 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.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. It’s not a bad thing to 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. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to the office hours or find a classmate that does 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 this is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!

My strategies for written assignment’s: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not leaving them until the last minute because then I will just goof up to work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to 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 on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

You Can Succeed Every Day

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 tests, but I 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 for me they are not worth getting really 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 is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
