Time management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multi-tasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on major presentations, or order tomorrows produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift or wonder here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it lasts. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Cool under pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “be prepared” holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your last chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put in to preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can do professionals who came up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking initiative.

Problem-solving skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes way beyond your math text book. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitude. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

the science center field trip 5.24.13
Today, I went to a class field trip with many other people from my school. I had enjoyed the day with my friends but I was very bored. The exhibits in the beginning were not that entertaining, and as the day went I kept getting more tired. After we had eaten, I bumped into an old friend of mine from private school. We had caught up with our life's and I felt rejoiced after, I then walked around other entertaining exhibits with my friends and we met my other friends in a different exhibit and we walked from there on. I had lost my special Jack Skellington glove but with some help, I found it. I then walked with a couple of my friends up to the highest floor and observed a couple more exhibits before rejoining my classmates to get in the bus to return to school. my reflection on this trip was that I wish I had more energy to fully enjoy this day but none the less I believe it was a good day even if I let my issues interfere with the trip.

Speaking skills

2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applications, which may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to the book of lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

“People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workings or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligent.

Part 1

Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·         Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·         Study the languages used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·         Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the website represents only one point of view.

·         Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print of online, should include a bibliography.

·       Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·       Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, might not present all sides of an argument.

·       Dot-gov indicates a government is a good resource of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·       Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·       Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

Research with attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask three questions:

·         Who wrote the webpage? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motivates – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way – they only give one side of the argument. How can you tell an unreliable resource from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only what is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

Review

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in the section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.

·         Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

 

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

5 Tips for Success

Tip 5

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.

5 tips for success

http://www.collegeboard.com/student /planboost-your-skills/189995.html

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more you are likely to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: note the author’s writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases and symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

If you’re having trouble writing a 25 page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a social support network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentor can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge your accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, or get a snack. Then move onto the next project.

5 tips for staying motivated

Tips 1-2

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/8454.html

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on high-impact activates

The key to succeed in school is staying focused on your coursed work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those who have the greater impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Choose the right.

Take control of homework

Part 3

Take advantage of free time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember things.  Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. It can even have separate ring stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and classmates and quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers, or counselors. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate your achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

Part 2

Keep things in perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things is wise and smart.

Get more involved

Keep your mind from wondering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a good experience. Demonstrate a good attitude towards home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having troubles.

·         Build study habits that are essential in college.

·         Prepare for your classes.

·         Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or a local library.

Know where to begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

For Review

Once you’ve down all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight 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-hand 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 tests down the road.

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 speaker’s 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 cues 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 you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

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.

Before class

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

Choose the right.
