Student success statement

‘’It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and ( to make) unpopular that which unsound ( and not good ).’’

                               

                                     Joseph Smith  

I think this statement is saying is its our duty to speak out for what is right and help each other to not choose the wrong. For example not doing your homework because the people that you hang out are too cool to do their homework and you don’t do it because you think it makes you cool and popular. That’s choosing the wrong and this stamen is saying that sometimes we need to speak up for others and make them realized what they’re doing to their life.

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 disturbed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch effort known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night session for Friday’s exam than studying in four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory effort are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fall 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 shortcut never produced 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 watermelon the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make high score the next day is like planting watermelons seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a text project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

‘’What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.’’

                                  Howard Cosell

What this statement is trying to say is that doing the right things isn’t really popular. Also that most people try to be someone else just to fit in for example fashion. This statement is saying to be yourself that’s what makes you unique and awesome, and also to always choose the right even if its not popular for others.

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

     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 will become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll will become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, ‘’act’’ like an interested person: learn forward, place your feet 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 exited and enthusiastic.

8. …. Talk about 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 whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving 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, reading etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend youre teaching your peers. ‘’talk-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 education dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate. Why do they expose themselves to the temptation 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 art antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push your hot button, 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 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 learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have 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 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. You share the same interests, the same goals-in short, 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!

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

      Martin Luther King, Jr.

  I think this stamen is trying to say that it’s never too late to do the right things. When it says “ the time is always right” I think its saying there no such think as  time to do the right things because you may not know when your time in this world will come to an end.  So do the right things before your time in this world is over and live your live choosing the right.

“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  

What these wise words are trying to say is that being moral is the feeling of feeling happy satisfaction of what you have done. And being moral is the best way to success in life because is the most positive way to. Also what these wise words are saying that being immoral is feeling guilty, irresponsible after you have done something that it’s not right. On my opinion this wise words are true because being moral it feels great and it opens new opportunities to your life and immoral it close the opportunities to success in life.

Successful students 1-2

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behavior 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 effort controls your grade, you earn the gory or deserve the blame, 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 formed method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provide 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 aspiration and life’s desires.

 Ask yourself these questions: what I am 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 button” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student. If you r education goals are truly yours, not someone else’s, they will motivate a vital an possitve 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 grades in college:  time management and organization are critical key factors to success In college.  And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them!

 I think Jackyie Mcconnell made the wrong decision he choose the wrong for doing that horrible things to horse. its really dumb to cheat on a sport because it doesnt make you unique and it makes you a loser a cheater. What kind of humman does that? i mean its not right to treat animals like that just for a competition of a sport. People who are pros at sport work hard they didnt cheat like Jackyie

My strategies for writing 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 organized my researcfh from it, then something prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and read 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 I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or prhase and sentences I just want to reword.

    

How I succeed in a 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 the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 test Tuesday then I will study for Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday 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 test. My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all-night. How I’ve overcome an initial bad grades: if I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I over 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.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests  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 for focusin on the problems that I had exactly 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 concept I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to and example or create different questions on the concept 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 shpw what each event in my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointment, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday. I need to star working on it on( the previous) Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get thing accomplished but that is really all I do.

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 nights before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was preparing for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the term for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way 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. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well. My overall study method: Structured. 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 class – even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times 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.  Its not bad thing to 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 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 though. 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 success. It is something that is within me to success. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I done can show you that success is something that is amazing to fin! 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 memorized 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 paper. 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.
