7. . . . . .  understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which I'm turn can affect learning.

if you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re 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 you feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8.  . . . talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talk about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, its proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces 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 set 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 temptation of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they choose 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 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 there, 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, also. 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 your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after 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, and you share the same interests, the same goals-in short, and your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable player on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for your mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player.

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

1.      …are 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 between leading and being led. 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 actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. Howver, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2.      …have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires.

 

Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting now? 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 as a college student. 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 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, can you transfer that to German or Spanish? These are 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 go and ask you teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them!

Animal abuse is just sad. There’s no words that can describe how I feel. Like the case of Jackie McConnell, a 50 year old whom physically abused of Walking horses by applying a dangerous chemical In the horses ankles that painfully made them jump and raise their legs up high. These men did not care about how much pain they were causing the poor innocent horses. I am disgusted for what can people reach to do for fame. Torturing an animal just to win a first place ribbon is not worth it, animals have feelings too.

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 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 earliest 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 projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

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 on 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-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 sometime discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exame on what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam

“Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you”

James Freeman Clarke

If you do good , you feel good. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be. Sometimes happiness doesn’t reach people that stay neutral. If you do the right, you feel good about it theres no turning back. Life isn’t about hurting people and being happy about it. Why do people think is good, or they feel good about hurting others? Life is about helping and making others feel good. That’s what life is about. If you help others reach happiness, life will reward you with happiness yourself.If there's a homeless person, and you have money , buying food will help them so much , to them it is a big thing. Later on god will return your humbleness with blesseings. Sometimes us teenagers concentrate in our looks or what other peers think or say, sometimes we pay too much attention on what others think that we leave our loved ones behind. the people that accept us just the ay you are, with flaws mistakes and everything. Having some one that will stay is a blessing.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests 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 difficult on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If I 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 take the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.
My time management secret: I always carry a planner with me. I even use different 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 frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it [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 were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was 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 taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the 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 change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But making 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 not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you 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 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 that 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!

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 there 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 get all the informationout of your head ond onto the page, so don’t leave them until  the last second.

I can and 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. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to 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 paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. 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 under 12 pages but it full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests: when in have more than one test or project , I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and switch to the other one.   If there is one part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have very much time. I am really in crunch for 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 the studying into different sections , feel I get much more done. Cram sections do not work for me. I need to study for a shorter time more often for it to sink 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 friends even. Each day I do not have time of each minute 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’m going to email people, write down if I’m going letters, or study. It works for me when I have a planner that goes by the days and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do 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. I plan ahead. When I'm on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class professors they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in class.

My test study method : When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test I go to the my notes and make flash cards on what was important for those sections , paying attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review section.  If you forget something it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember , to re call is mandatory  that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking. “oh,no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example , the more you play the piano , the better you become at playing that song . Learning and remembering Is like playing a piano. Look now at what  you remember . You remember it because you repeated it numerous amounts of times.So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember , and they will stick on you.
