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 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 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 were 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, its tough 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.

My Dreams

This is a dream because I want to become a Tattoo Artist. It's one of the better models and is very unique.

Another one of my dreams is to become a psychiatrist, it has always been one of my dreams to find out how the brain works, and understanding people's emotions.

I would also like to travel to Japan, and England to see the sites, and play tourist.

“Light and darkness can’t occupy the same space at the same time. CTR is light-CTW is darkness”

Call\Haymore

Reflection: This quote means that you cannot choose the right and the wrong at the same time. It is between right, and between wrong, the only thing you need is too always choose the right so you don’t need to have darkness in your life. When you hear about it, all you can do is go to the light, and stray from the darkness, theyre will be more choices to choose the right but you need to make sure your path to success is bright, because if not how else would you get to your goals?

My great academic success: In my principals of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French Proverb

Reflection: What this is just trying to say is when you do what’s right you’ll feel good, and when that happens you won’t have to suffer with worries, you will have a “soft pillow” it means you won’t have to be so surprised, to worry to ache, to yearn for something, you would feel good about who you are and what you’ve done.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade. I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION!  Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s Academic Success Story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes when taken in class because other students pick up on more information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others.

My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: One of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with the multiple projects\tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to so massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.
