Student Success Statement

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Liane Cordes

Reflection

      I agree with this statement because it does not matter in today’s world if you are really intelligent it just matters whether or not you show that intelligence constantly. To succeed in a world like this where everybody has the same opportunities is difficult since there is more competition to be the best. When we try our best every day we show to the world for whatever lies ahead.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·     Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
What are the author’s qualifications for writing on this subject?

·     Has the article passed through as editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·     What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·     Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·     Where did the author get their information?

Choose The Right!!!

Student Success Statement

“Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.”

John Wooden

Reflection:

       I agree with this statement because when you do something in a rush you will mess up at one point. Being fast will get you nowhere fast because it is more important to something right than fast. Just like when doing homework. When you are a teenager, you can’t wait until homework is out of the way so you can do what you normally do and hang out with friends so you normally rush. When you do this you are not allowing yourself to go back and check your own mistakes.

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide what product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way—they only give one side if an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it’s critical that you only post online only which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefits to the world.

Choose The Right!!!

Student Success Statement

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

Gilbert Arland

Reflection:

       I agree with this statement because just like learning a new skill you have to try your best to get better. Giving up happens all the time when learning a new instrument. People let go of the instrument after they think that they are not learning fast enough or that they are not meant to play an instrument. To learn how to play you just need to practice and improve yourself.

Recite

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question for that section. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.

Now repeat the Question. Read and recite for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answers can help you study in the future.

Review

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the next important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.

Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for your tests, you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who, and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you create questions:

·     Turn the title, headings, or subheadings into questions.

·     Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, and illustration—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
