After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlights and use symbols to sort through the information, if you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you've reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-handed area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you've learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for test down the road.

During class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.   Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.   Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cures such as repetition and emphasis.

4.   Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.   Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.  Ask questions. If confused, it is better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

How to get your class notes into shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying harder and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you with both. Here are the basics.

Stay Organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:

·      Keep all your notes in one place.

·      Date and number pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later.

Before Class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any questions you may have.

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer—and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is written in word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide whether it is right for you

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interest and give distance education a try: then, decide if it is right for you.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

·     Lack of in-person interaction: some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat room, message boards or web conferences----- but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

·     Different levels of quality: many distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.

·     The need to self-start: distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal education setting for you

Alex Schwazer uses dope


 Gold medal-winning race-walker

 Alex Schwazer was the first walker to come in at the London Olympics after 3 hours and 39 minutes. Shortly after that he was found using drugs to make him run faster, he was doping his blood. When the authorities found out he was band from the Olympics and he was proud of it because he said that without getting caught he would have still been using drugs.

Reflection: I think that this situation is a very sad situation because some who has made it so fair into the Olympics had to give away his medal because he or she was under the impression of drugs. I think this was a very wrong thing to do when you are at the Olympics.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class—through distance learning. Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet- based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from anywhere. Some high schools agree to recognize themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.  For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in the class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school student. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·         Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier  with their support.

·         Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·         Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·         Use your time efficiently.  You use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss 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 thing you might 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. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy and healthy.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”

Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be valuable part of a student’s life, if taken on responsibly. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money, “he says.   “In most cases, you can acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences.” In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college recommendation for you.

School Comes First

Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments… or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

Part 2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both—work and study—successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

·         Am I an organized person?

·         What kind of study habits do I have?

·         Do I make good use of my available time?

·         Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility—and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.
