STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT
"success is dependent on effort."
-sophocles, greek dramatist
reflection: if you really want something you have to work for it, for example if you want good grades you have to work on all your homework, classwork, and study so you can get those grades.

Study for Multiple Exams

Part 2

My strategies for written assignments: everyone has their own writing Styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: never assume someone is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

Study for multiple exams

Part 1

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests on Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start study for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests.

My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get blogged down if I try to bust an all nighter.

How I have overcome an initial bad grade: if I receive a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly. Or I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometimes discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.
