Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·         Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

“Alone we can do so little; together

we can do so much.”

-Helen Keller

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Helen Keller is that if we do our work alone we are going to be fooling around and we aren’t going to be able to do our work and if we do it with other people we are going to be able to do it because the other person wants to get a good grade and will be telling you to do it and hurry up. Like they say two brains work better than one brain. Choose the right and work together to accomplish your things that you have to do.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests: When I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: My Secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows mw what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road for volleyball.  When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.

My test method when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test.  Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test for the final. Flashcards   are marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced reahersle. If you forget something it is cause you haven’t repeated it enough times for and extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning therefore, to learn remember and recall it is mandatory that you be thinking oh no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
