Strategies That Bode For Success
When you start your academic career by thinking that a white vest for literally start again. No one has prejudices about your skills and work habits. If you have not yet done so, it is now time to begin the academic practice, to better grades – practice “smart” use. Why is the “smart” quotes? “Smart” is in quotes because we are sure that the students are intelligent by nature, or simply as less intelligent because their strategy to win the right notes. See the difference? In other words, students get “A” does not necessarily wiser IQ-wise, but they could use the best strategies.
So, what is called “wise” strategies?
• Do you have an organizational system that is a student without a proven system as a one-armed wallpaper post. So I recommended that the child a “weekly tutoring / monthly planners, is a size not for everyone. Some students find a PDA to do the trick for them. Others have developed systems of their own imagination. The bottom line is everything is working properly. Basic rule: In college, rely on your memory is the quickest way to failure.
• in the first row of the class sit, is the first line, called “A Line” is shown by the teachers that students sitting in this line are more likely to “A” s. Why? We do not know really know it is for the wise “students sit so that they in close contact with the teachers or for students to serve fewer distractions and ultimately interact with the teacher more often. For our purposes, the question is irrelevant. The effect to get better grades, that’s what counts for us.
• in all the high school class is likely to remain out of school, when you woke up with a headache or cold. Make it is dangerous to college! Most colleges have semesters of 15 weeks, and then you know what to wear for a full year of school. The contents are quickly learned. You are likely to hear a chapter of 50 pages per week. In most cases, the goal of the class is reading to clarify and strengthen the senses. Those who miss the class, though sometimes only begins the slow disappearance. Absent should be reserved for emergencies or if you are too sick to get out of bed.
• Read before the meeting, which you probably read in every class. Why is it important to read? The reading of “warming” for the upcoming meeting. Walk to class with some knowledge of what is being discussed found. Those who think it is interesting to skip the reading is not much to read from the session. They go to class “cold” and in water just below zero! TIP: Occasionally, you will be under pressure because of an upcoming test or project to another course, and you are tempted to skip a must-read. When this happens, take a short cut: you only read the summary chapter.
• Reading and learning in reading, as is active passive, you can ask me. I have to prove it. How often do you read something learned at the end, and you have no idea what you read? It happens to everyone. Our eyes were fixed on words, but out of our mind-one million miles away. But when we read the study and is active, dreaming impossible. How do we use our mind to prevent him from wandering too? We have one of two things: take notes while reading or mark and mark (annotate) text. Yes, it will take more time to read the chapter, but you never read. Why? They have the important things, and that is what you are studying. Reading the section is again one of the most expensive students to make mistakes, because it so many times, which can be better used dump.
• Perform all tasks. I bet you think that’s clear. It is not. Freshmen, often while trying to challenge if they find that their teachers seldom collect duties. Wait a minute! Are you going to college for teachers or for yourself? To employ the purpose of homework, or is the provision of training, a concept master? Although the teachers rarely affect the duties, it soon becomes clear that the students who joins. The teachers are psychic? Hardly. If the test is classified, it becomes increasingly clear that students spent in relation to the information placed in their long-term memory.
• Check that encourages your notes within 24 hours of research, that occur on the memory to forget, not in a single sentence. Most forget came soon after we learn something about one day. Then reduce the speed of forgetting is. After 2 days, we forget that 2 / 3 of which have learned what we can, but after one month is not much worse. Apply it to the school. Most students take notes during class. If they are next to them? Oh, maybe four weeks later, when they learn for a test. Meanwhile, in the course of time has passed 2 / 3 of what they wrote their eyes back on new books! They spend more time to verify the information before they learn how to start it. There is a way to prevent this. If you only read your notes, within 24 hours (in the table for breakfast before school works), you can avoid the process of forgetting. Well, if you study 4 weeks later, things are not nearly as foreigners. You see, you had it on 3 claims: (1) reading (2) by reading, and (3) If your records. The equipment has started its journey to your long-term memory, so it will not go far when the time comes to investigations. Educational theory tells us that we get some new material easier to find short, frequent exposure. This is what gives the system in step 3 above?
If you decide to open a new chapter in your life, even leave destructive behavior and a smart strategy?
