“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

As citizens, it is our obligation to cope with our surroundings and make the best of it, rather than give up

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 massed, last-ditch efforts know as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in 4, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for 4 hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment 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 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 the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically so why even does it. Plan ahead prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

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

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelngs, you will begin to exoerience those feelings. Act like you’re bored and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disintersted. So the next time you have trouble concertrating in the classroom, “act” like an interest person: lean forward place your feet flat on the floor, maintain aye contact with the proffessor, nod occasionally take notes and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions your classmates and proffessor 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 put it into words. Talking about something with friends or classmates is not only good for checking wether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transfering ideas into words provides the most direct path formoving knowledge from short-term to long-term 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 readings etc. with friends recite to a chair organize an oral study group pretend yoy’re teaching your peers. “talks-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

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 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 and 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?

6. … take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes that 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 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.

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 others 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. I get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.

4… learn the 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 leave learned you material, the instructor takes some 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, in 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!

Successful student 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 questions, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will …

2…have educational goals. Successful have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspiration and life’s desires.

Ask yourself these questions: what am I going 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? Answer to these questions represents 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 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 grades in college; time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college. And never be afraid you 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 and do massive amounts of reaserch before I ever think about writing. I then organize my reaserch then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and rereaded 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 a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in tem 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 ar the group their word for it.

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 at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have Monday, and 2 test 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 and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I really studied for it. When that 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 2. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all-night 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 sometime 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.

“Seek to good and you will find that happiness will run after you.”

What I think this statement is trying to say, that if you are good person happiness is will be on your side. For example the guy from American Idol he was bad and happiness turned its back to him and he was arrested for the crimes he had committed. For example my friend  always chooses the right and teachers favor him. He is a great example of this statement because he is always happy and he’s tall.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there 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 that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read ( even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That away 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 have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class then when I had a test.

My overall study method; strutted. 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—even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all time was a big part of my success.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: a big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. It’s not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it plan you time out so you are completing everything that’s needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say thought. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that leave done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!

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 situation. 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 don’t leave them until the last second.

I can and will work as a part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if 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 wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night o would be doing research o writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 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 strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be writing about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A 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 it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: 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 on 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 I don’t plan on changing that any time 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 other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

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 as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I 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 do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expect, I make sure that the next time a test iss coming I study even more so that 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 for 30 min or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not make 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 at 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 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 every day. Knowing what I have to do every day 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, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

Online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool the key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous…

You may be thinking, “oh, o, 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. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practice---proficiency---pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
