Choose Where to Study:

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

1.     The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desks space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

2.     For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

3.     When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a social environment.  

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:  

1.     Have a routine for where and when you study.

2.     Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

3.     Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

4.     Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but absorbing it.

5.     Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

6.     Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

                                 Habit 6     

Habit 6: Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either cloud alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize 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. Synergize doesn’t just happed. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is: Learning to celebrate differences.

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

Habit 5

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. The habit will ensure our teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active learning.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, of the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn to listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

Student Success Statement

“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 preceded all others is –‘I will form good habits and become their slaves’. “   

I think it means that if you fail in life then you will fail in everything. Many people who succeed will most likely succeed in everything because they put in the effort 100%.

A successful student …

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning Online learning can be a powerful, simulating, engaging experience for the student how can work and think independently. However, science most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education come down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in online course!

 …is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include video or other activities, all of them require significant amount of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU writing center is available to assist you.

Successful students 7-8

7 . . . . Understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

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, you can translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.

Here are many final words of wisdom for students who 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!

HOW I STUDY FOR MULTIPLE EXAMS, DEAL WITH MULTIPLE PROJECTS: REALLY IT IS MY TIME MANAGEMENT THAT I EXPLAINED ABOVE. IF I SEE I HAVE MULTIPLE THINGS DUE OR STUDY FOR ALL AT THE SAME TIME I SPREAD OUT MY TIME BEFOREHAND. FOR EXAMPLE IF I HAVE A  TEST  MONDAY TEST THURSDAY AND 2 TEST  TUESDAY THEN I WILL STUDY FOR MY  MONDAY TEST THURSDAY AND PART OF FRIDAY AND PART OF SATURDAY , THEN  MY SECOND TUESDAY TEST ON SATURDAY AS WELL AND PART OF SUNDAY . THEN SUNDAY NIGHT I CAN REVIEW FOR MY MONDAY TEST BECAUSE I AM READY STUDIED FOR IT. WHEN THAT TEST IS OVER I CAN BEGIN REVVING FOR THE OTHER TESTS. MY OVERALL STUDY METHOD: I TRY TO BREAK IT UP OVER SEVERAL DAYS OR AT LEAST TWO. I GET BOGGED DOWN IF I TRY TO PULL AN ALL NIGHER .HOW IV'E OVERCOME AN INITIAL BAD GRADE : IF I REVIEWED 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 SOMETIMES 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.

Work Together part 2

English, math, foreign language: For math, all I can say is to do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorization like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practical situations. As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and into the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

Repetition is the law of learning: therefor, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the ting you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh.no repeating something.” you need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing those thing you desire to remember, and they will stick with you. Practice ---Proficiency---Pleasure.

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 tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an 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 is 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 though 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 from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

  Choose the right!!!!!!!!!!!!
