Academic Success
Part 2
Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In 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
on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It
wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never
really had to put forth much an 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 concepts.
My overall study method: I do the
reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall
behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study
aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can.
Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if
I do 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.
