Study for Multiple Exams

Part 3

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, 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!

A man named Jackie McConnell is famous for training many award winning Tennessee walking horses. A recent video has uncovered what he does to train these horses. He gets them to walk like that by putting many chemicals near the horse's ankle and wrap them so that they swell up and make them raise their hooves up in pain. They would also whip the horses. He faces charges because of this evidence. The Humane Society helped get this horrible video to bring him to justice.

Reflection:

I believe this man should receive a very strong sentence in jail. He deserves all the time he gets so he can reflect on all the damage he has done to these poor defenseless creatures. He may not regret it now but he will later when he sits alone in prison.

Part 2

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone as their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I even 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 and 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 reward.

How I succeed in team 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 or the group the work for it.

  Study for Multiple Exams

Part 1

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have test Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start Studying for my next test on the 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 tests. My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I got bogged down if I 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 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.

Student Success Statement

" Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will 

 run after you"

James Freeman Clark

Reflection: 

I agree with this statement because when you do good you feel good. For example, people who give back to their community or religion are always some of the happiest people you could find. When you are a good person you have a clear conscience. You can always do something good for yourself too. For example, some people have bad vices and they can see how much it has destroyed their lives so they seek for help. When that person gets clean and quits they tend to be really happy and they also radiate happiness which other people feel. When you have good intentions with everything you do you know things will turn out okay.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 2

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of test or subjects. 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 any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts, 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 make 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 in my calendar is for. 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 if 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 at how I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.
