Student Success Statement

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”

-      Confucius

This statement is saying that you need courage to do what is right. For some people it’s easy to do what’s right because they always do but for those that don’t they need the courage to make things better than what they were doing. For example you want to improve your attitude and education you need to have the courage to make it happen and put a lot of effort.

Student Success statement

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

-     Gilbert Arland

I agree with this statement because when you are not good in something you have to practice to get better and if you fail you need to improve yourself. All it takes for someone to get better at something is by trying their hardest and be determine to do it. Don’t blame the target for your failure that just means that you need to get better. For example, if you play basketball and you miss the shot that means you need more practice.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most education. So pick up a book… and a pen.

How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

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.

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

·        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.

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

Improve Your Study Habits

·        Have a routine for where and when you study.

·        Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each studying session.

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

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

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

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