"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"

He saying that if doing the right was popular everyone would do if choosing the wrong was unpopular no one would do it. Like for example if a certain person picked up a piece of trash and threw it away everyone would want to be cool so everyone does.

9…. Don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions.

If there is one thing that study skills specialties 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, hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many fail to learn this lessons.

When you cram your taking a shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Cramming for a test or project and expecting a good grade is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting them to grow the next day.

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

          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 entertained and you’ll be entertained. So next time you need to pay attention “act” like you’re an interested person and you’ll become interested. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates may get more exited.

8…. Talk about what your leaning. Successful students get to know something well before they put it into words. It’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving logic short term and long term. You really don’t know material until you put it into words

5. 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. Why do they expose themselves to an inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people.

6. take good notes. Successful students take notes that are organized and understandable 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 one time or another. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh in you brain. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take you since you’ve already reviewed it.

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 time 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 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!

Student Success Statement

“I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”

Ernest Hemingway

Reflection:

Doing what’s right will always beat the wrong 100%. You see there are times when you have a choice whether it’s good or bad; you always do what is right for you and your decisions. Because you can’t do wrong and feel right it’s impossible. There are winners and losers; nobody wants to be a looser. Pay attention to what’s right and what’s wrong.

1&2

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, and 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. However, the former method will required 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 here 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 translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grade in collage :Time management and organization are critical key factors to success in collage. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them.

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea to study massive subjects. I then organize my research and create an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and reread it the next day. That’s the easiest way for me to catch my mistakes. I always find grammatical errors or just things I want to reword.

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that is 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 Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Then Sunday night all I have to do is review since I studied Thursday and Friday. When that’s over I can review for other tests.

My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days at least two. I also try to see if I can pull an all nighter. How I overcome an initial bad grade: if I got a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t study or didn’t use the correct method for that class.

My test study method: I have different strategy types for different tests or quizzes. Also I would go back on the problems I don’t understand and review them. Many times I would ask the teacher for advice on problems. If it was a class that required memorization or applying I would create sort of a study guide. If there was a test I would take the key terms and study them or create a concept questions.

I always carry a planner on me. I even use different color highlighter to show that every event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is appointments, and green is for my sorority. Though I also use white-out frequently.

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times where I could study 2 3 hours before the test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. That meant writing out the terms to better understand them even if it wasen’t needed. I started taking excellent notes in college. I may have done this in high school, but after class I would type them. This helped me remember it was also likely I would remember the day of the test also.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A very big thing is to ask for help if you need it. It’s not a bad thing to understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do nothing to prevent it. Plan everything out so that you still have time to double check everything. Write things down so you remember. I find myself thinking that I try harder to fail then to succeed. If you don’t understand then find a classmate that’s more then willing to help you.

My greatest academic achievement was when I was assigned to a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I’ve ever been assigned and I was a little scared. I put so much effort into the paper and it ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information it was my first A+ of my college career.

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I’m supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them for the last minute because then I just goof up all the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from a magazine or book that relates to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things I want people to see, not because the teacher told me to.

How I succeed in team projects: personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially the ones I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work as a group I try to lead. I try to be in charge. That way I know things will get done on time and that I’m going to get a good grade.

How I overcame an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test to see what the teacher did not want. Basically, I don’t stress out over them because they’re not worth getting stressed for. And the next time a test comes up I study to make sure none of the questions surprise me.

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I don’t have time to do errands around the house or hang out with friends even. Each minute of the day is used for something. One thing that really works well for me is to write everything down, I mean everything. I write down if I’m going to email people, write letters, or even study. It works for me if I have a planner and it shows me what imma be doing every day. I plan ahead especially if I’m going to be on the road for volleyball. When I’m on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if your upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn I things late.

Effective Study Methods

Part 1

My test method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on the important things in the topic. I also go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests I use those to study as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards for the next test or for the finals. One important thing to remember is that, repetition is a learning law. You might say oh no repetitions but don’t worry you’ll get used to it, for example the more you practice a sport the better you become at it. Therefor repetitions are very important to study because you’ve read it many times prior to you being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick.
