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 able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before class begun. 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 of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading books, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were 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, it’s 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 great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product to 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 in 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 languages. 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.

!!!! CHOOSE THE RIGHT !!!!

"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience"

French Proverb

 

What the french proverb is tyring to say is that in order for you to get a good nights sleep is to have a clean conscience. A dirty conscience will make it almost impossible for you to sleep or even live with yourself.

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 class and have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what 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.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.

Robert E. Lee   

If you always choose the right it will become a natural habit. If you always choose the right you will have a clean mind and conscience.Even if sometimes you accidentally slip up and choose the wrong if you continue to choose the right it wont really affect you.
