Study for Multiple Exams part 3

English, math, foreign language tips: Practice—especially foreign language. Its hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think bout it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? There are the little things that will help.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them !

Work Together Part 2

English, math, foreign, language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is math. It’s the same for chemistry: if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not for memorization like history, you need to be able to apple what you have learned in practical situations, As for English, I am no longer taking it, but I would say to leave yourself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.

Academic Success Part 1

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.
