English, math, foreign language tip: 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 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!

Summary:
A Tennessee horse trainer named Jackie McConnell was caught on film chaeting to win. He mistreats his horses just so he can win a medal.What McConnell does is he wacks his horse with a stick, a really thick one, and he puts a chemical on the horse's ankles and wrapping foil around it, giving the horse a bad sore. He's not the only one. Other horses, all fifty-two of them, were found with a type of substance on them.

Reflection:
What I think about this is it is horrible to treat animals as beautiful as these horses this badly just to win a ribbon that is worth nothing. What is worth more is the life of the great horses. If I were a horse trainer, I would properly feed, care, and train the horse and I won't care if we win, but it is more important to love an animal than to treat it like dirt like they have no heart.

My strategies for written assignments: everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I 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 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 reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects; Reality it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all the time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests on Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start Studying for my next test on the second half 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 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 get 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 use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did go wrong 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 term.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in collage: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. Its not a bad thing to understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I have to try harder to fail than try to succeed. It’s something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good Luck!

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.

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the stack, but I will if I know that my grades will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

I thing that Tiger should be a helpful brother because he had millions of dollars and his brother doesn’t and it is only just one thing that his brother would ask for his help in a family situation.

My overall study method: I broke up studying over several days and over the course of the evening day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on night before  test. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do it as well as if I was rested.  

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test on paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me there not worth getting all upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test comes around I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the question.

Effective Study Methods Part 3

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 50 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a 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.
