Academic Success

Part 2

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 that for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try. I had a 4.0 all through high school, but I really didn’t have to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for classes and I try to keep it up. If I do fall behind I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aids. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class because of volleyball makes sure that I keep my grades good because I make sure to take my good notes. Also, for a subject such chemistry I do practice to help me as I understand the material means.

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 no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies from written assignments: start early and make sure that you have it proofed. Also, with written assignment 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 projects: Communication! Despite your group’s synergy, communication is critical. I remember I ran out of cell power minutes constantly when working on a group project from 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.

Heather A's academic success story

In high school ,I  didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school , I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.
My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems given in class as well as problems from power where I can work out the method: I have a very different technique. For financial test I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points in homework when it comes to marking classes I review my notes and try to management secrets: one of my biggest secret is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test. How I deal with multiple project tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do a massive studying block of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.
