Profile of a Successful Student part 2

Work Together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussion and be willing to share personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes- even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor –especially if you are having problems. He/she is till your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as you needed.

Effective Study Methods part 2

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything. I mean everything.  I write down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially is I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I brink my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes.
