Student Success Statement

“You will never

regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

Reflection: I agree with this quote because regret should always be associated with making poor decisions. Regretting something means you wish you never did that but you should not regret doing what is right because it is beneficial to everybody.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the text by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try: I had a 4.0 throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes form another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

My Dreams

I want to go to college. My dream universities are Oxford and UC Santa Cruz. I still don't know what I want to study but I know I will excel so I will get my Ph.d. I might go into physics, astronomy, or psychology. All these topics interest me and I feel I could impact these fields.

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness.”

Call/Haymore

I agree with this quote because it is true. There is never an in-between between two extremes. If you do bad things you are bad but in the other hand if you CTR all the time you are a good person.

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying in class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

Student Success Statement

“There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.” 

French Proverb

Reflection: I agree with this quote because sometimes regret doesn’t let you sleep. When you always CTR and have a clear conscience you can rest knowing that you did nothing wrong so you are happy.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

                                                       

How I succeed in projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is critical. I remember I ran out of cell power minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.
