“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

                          Joseph smith

Reflection: if it’s good influence for others and you it should be popular. If it’s something bad it should not be popular. Everyone should concentrate on important things that can be popular and useful to others. An example is steeling they should concentrate when theirs a robbery.

9.  . . .don’t cram from exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

    If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late night, last- ditch efforts known as craning. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, intensive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”

                             Howard Cosell

Reflection: when others choose the right and it’s something good they don’t think that it’s important nothing popular. And everything that’s popular are things that are bad but others think it’s cool they go and do it.

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

    If you act 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: learn forward, place your feeling 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.

8. . . .talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can’t put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something. It’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge for short- terms to long- terms memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, reading, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching you peers. “talk learning” produces a whole host of memories

Why do they expose themselves to the templations of inactive classroom experiences and distraction of all the people between them and their instuctors. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push your hot buttons, is there something else you should be doing with 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 the 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 your 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, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

3. … ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to addition to securing knowledge you seek. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it .

4. … learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and learn a good grade.

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher: if you have learned your material the instructor take you are not an enemy
