                The three don’ts

Don’t whine

Don’t complain

Don’t make excuses

Reflection:

In life you should never whine, complain or make excuses. When you whine you just get into problems that you don’t want. When you complain it can lead to getting in fights. If you start making excuses for anything then other people will see that you make up to many stuff that they won’t end up believing you anymore.

taking control of homework part 1

TAKING CONTROL OF HOMEWORK OR        DOES IT TAKE CONTROL OF YOU

                            PART 1

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

. Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

. Build study habits that are essential in college.

. Prepare for your classes.

. Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculation). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library,

Know where to begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time everyday

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

. Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your bass 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.

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 you time together.

. Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

. Stick to the sessions

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 better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails 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? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned-you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

. Don’t skim. Read all the materials carefully.

. Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest-chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

. Look up any words that you don’t understand.

. Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

. Take notes instead of highlighting-this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

. Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

Part 1

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 used 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.

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

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

3. Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful, when you do the wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4. Soul: study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspiration, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness).Your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussion and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes even better than a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor-especially .If you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor or your guidance on any help you need.

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.

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
