Successful Students 3

Successful Students 3-4 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 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. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player! CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

My strategies for written assignment: everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amount 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 my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it l 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 team project: Never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meeting and have each member show their work, not just give you or 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 explained, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for 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 already 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 two. I get bogged down if 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 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.

          My test study methods: I have different strategies for different types of test or subject. For me, any type of math is 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 an additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a shot study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew their where we 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 throughout the semester.

          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. 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 is I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed on how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

How I deal with multiple project/test 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 add 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 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 to skink 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 knowing  what I have to do every day helps me plan out week and my days if I know  that I don’t have time on Tuesday I will try to get more thing 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 books and read on the bus/plane/hotel  room missing class professors they are usually nice about having to turn in late or not being class.
