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 professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they close 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 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 the 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 your learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and less time it will take because you won’t have to include some decipliering 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.

Work Together Part 3

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 need don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have a good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to 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. If 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!

Effective Study Methods Part 3

How I deal with multiple projects tests: When I have more than one test or project. I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 min or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for food time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up studying into different sections, I feel like I get more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often it to sink in.
