Academic Success part2

Laura high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before out high school, but I never really had to put forth  much of the effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concept. My overall study method:  I do fall behind; I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study I aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes with volleyball its tough because we are the road a lot but if I do another miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also for a subject such as chemistry I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means

Academic Success Part 1

My great academic success. In my principles of marketing classes, we had to come up with a new product a mad sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blankets, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent and remember that you should want to learn

“There is no pillow so soft as clear conscience.”

 What I think about this statement is that if our conscience is clean then we don’t Have to worry about anything and sleep good not having bad dreams having good dreams being able to go to sleep.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies from written assignment: Starts early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a lifetime planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phones minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s Academic Success Story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick me up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After receiving the information, it sticks a little bit than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really lean the material.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trails the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

What I guess this statement means is that you have to choose what is right in life & also if you don’t keep doing the right choice it would become more harder than what you think it will be.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was, made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with determination and mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the student Success Program, “Kennedy said. “ To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self- value.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said. For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions policy.

It took two false starts before the 22- year old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was 18 years of old but felt “Overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduate from high school when she was in a serous car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living a life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.
