“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

Joseph smith

Reflection: if it’s good influence for others and you it should be popular. If it’s something bad it should not be popular. Everyone should concentrate on important things that can be popular and useful to others. An example is steeling they should concentrate when theirs a robbery.

9. …don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

 

There is one thing that study skills specialists agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. 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, inattentive, last moments 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 a 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 watermelons seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score for the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting a harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a test 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.

“What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right

Howard Cosell

Reflection:

Mr. Cosell is stating an inevitable fact in society, when someone does something it has a chain reaction effect. You need to do what YOU think is right, not what anyone else thinks. You need to realize what is right. Right is something you need to discover on your own with guidance or how else would you know what’s bad in society in your life, anywhere? You need to do what’s right to prove to yourself you’re great. If something is popular, like weed for instance, if I asked you to try some what would you do? I wouldn’t ever try any myself because I know the dangers, I know the consequences but not by experience by learning. Just like people need to LEARN about things, to know what is right, to know what right is.

7. 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 chose 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?

8. 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 you to 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, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

5. ...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.

 

6…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 the enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals – in short, your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

Study for Multiple Exams

part 3

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I general 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 easiest way for me to catch any 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 always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to rewrite.

 

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.

Study for Multiple Exams

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 study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test for Monday, and 2 tests for 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 as part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When the 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 receive 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 the 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 next exam.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of test and subjects. For me, any type of math 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 any 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 they 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. 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 frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project finance due Tuesday, I need to start working on it on.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Sarah’s Academic Success Story
Part 1

 

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, these 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 I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if 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 not have done this in high school, but in college I started typing 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 them 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 a 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.

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 it 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 your self plenty of time to write essays or papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

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 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 being just fewer than 12 pages but it was 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.

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 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 minutes 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 time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of 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 minute of each day  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 am going to email people, write letters, or study. it works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. when I am on the road I bring my books and read on the bus / plane/  hotel room. missing class is killer to make up from. if you are upfront with your professors they usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My test study method: when it comes to study for the test I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. also I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. if you forget something it is because you haven’t repeated it enough therefore to learn and remember. you may be thinking “oh no repeating something.”  you need to get used to it. for example the more you practice a song on the piano the better you become at playing that song. learning and remembering is like playing the piano the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. look now at what you remember. the better you remember the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
