                                                 Part 2

During the Test

Read the directions.

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts.

You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

-Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

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

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.  

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers of family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listing and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT ON A CARD.

Study with a Friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a Study Group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and to manage your tasks.

Celebrate Your Achievements

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

Distance Education: Is a virtual classroom for you?

                           Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer-and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best education option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide Whether It’s Right for You

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs interest and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

- Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

- A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

- Advanced and specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

The Arts

Researching indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardize tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced Placement Program (AP)

To be sure you are ready to take college-level work, enroll in most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently shows that student who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than students who don’t take AP.

Work hard in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the benefits of self-fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows college you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study sessions:

Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trials of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun?

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get of track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task. When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

Group study offers other advantage in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organization skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have notice that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

~Think out loud.

~Share ideas.

~Learn from one another.

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together-explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s- and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

How to Take on College Studying

     How to Take on College Studying

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are use to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

Consider what time of day you are most alert-there are morning people and night owls-and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be distraction, tell your friend that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

1) Body. Eat wholesome, foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living  the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, It’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is-‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.”

REFLECTION:  What I think about this quote is that it is true if we have made good habits we will succeed in life if we choose to make bad habits we will fail life.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

If teens aren't clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide hid decisions-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity-which you earned it with perfect honesty.

7…understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know there personal behavior affect their feeling and emotions which can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produce particular feelings, you will begin to feel those feelings. Act like your bored and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the class room, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. . . .talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put into words. Talking about something , with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, is a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provide the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talking –learning ’’

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

Students want the best for their entertainment dollars, but willingly want the best seat for their education dollars. Students that sit in the back can’t possibly be there professor teammate (see no.40). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experience. And distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know that they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility and anonymity, both in which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, then why are you wasting your time?

6. . . .take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.
