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

If there is one thing that study skills specialists agree on, it is that distributed study is better than messed, late-night, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in 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 again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever huh?

When you cram, you are taking the 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 watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons. Make a high score the next day is like planning watermelon seeds. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

7.  . . . understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

    If you act 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: learn forward, place your feeling 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’t put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something. It’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge for short- terms to long- terms 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, reading, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching you peers. “talk learning” produces a whole host of memories

3. … ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to addition to securing knowledge you seek. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it .

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 learn a good grade.

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher: if you have learned your material the instructor take you are not an enemy

STUDY FOR MULTIPLE EXAMS

PART 2

I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts and 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 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 in 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 suppose to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give u or the group the word for it.

STUDY FOR MULTIPLE EXAMS

Part 1

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 the same time I spread my time. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturdays as well and 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 test. My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I got 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 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.

English, math, foreign language tips: For math all I can say is do problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It is 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 information out of your head and onto the page, so I don’t leave them until the last second

My Strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. I lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in the team project: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead, I like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get good grades, I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then is a different story.

You Can Succeed Every Day

Part 1

 

 

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 test, but I never stay up much later than normal before test. I know that if I take the test tired the next day, I will not do as well if I was rested.

 How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material however, if I get a bad day or one lower than expected I make sure the next time the test is coming I study even more so I won’t be surprised by the questions.

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 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 in a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other on an 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 the day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write down if I am going to email people, write letters or to 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. Knowing what I have to do for everyday 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, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road on the bus, plane, and hotel room missing class is a killer to make up from, but if you are up front with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.
