Part 2

Choose where to study

Where you should study depends on two factors: The environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·       The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature  Study methods and enough desk space – usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·       For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

·       When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper , you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·      Have a routine for where and when you study

·      Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

·      Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

·      Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at materials but not absorbing it

·      Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions

·      Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

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 that those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which 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 evenings 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

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you 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 Sleep

Your brain needs rest to preform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends  that you are only available at certain time of the 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 and commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procreating  just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and 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.

Habit 6

Habit 6: 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 differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, that 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.

How much faster and further 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. Its not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of them put 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, jut different.

"so often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the "in-group", we lose sight of the things that are far more important."

us teenagers in high school believe in the looks are way much important then the way someone actually is. we get so caught up with the "looks" we forget our principals and the ways we were taught since small. Its about the way some one is not just what others think or say. It is called peer pressure.

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood 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 ensure your teen learns the most important communication skills there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are a unique, one –of-a kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. One they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you many want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listing rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood- LISTEN.

                             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 accomplishment of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. Its both nice and thought all at once. I wont step on you, but I wont 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 theres plenty of success to go around. Its bot either you or me. Its both of us. Its not matter of who gets the biggest pice of the pie. Theres more than enough food for you everyone. Its and all-you-can-eat buffet.

Win-win always create more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit 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 alternative its how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think win-win or no deal.

Student Success Statement 

"The only difference those who have failed and these who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law i will obey, which precedeth all others is -I will form good habits and become their slaves."
-Og Mandino
I think this statement is trying to say, that when you decide to do bad things, and disobey laws it leads you to something that isn't good at all. It ends up being a bad thing because you want to be successful in life. An example can be that when you succeed in your good habits will stay with you . If you have failed , you may be able to change your habits but it will be harder since you’re used to them.

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your tee take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain for their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

 7 Habits of highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In this book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean 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 has 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 block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them;

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all- of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore, requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self- motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

…is comfortable and confident with written communication

 Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities,

activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor 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. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

An element truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! Its 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 no.1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students!
