Student Success Statement

“Keep your eyes on the prize”

 ~ Anon

This quote is trying to say that if you have a dream or goal you should focus on it and accomplish it no matter what. You should try your hardest and best to achieve it. If you achieve it, you will be very proud of yourself and you will be able to accomplish anything you want as long as you don’t give up.

Work Together Part 3

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan you time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. Its something that is within me to succeed. If that isn’t who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!

You Can Succeed Everyday Part 1

 My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have a longer session on the nights before big test, but I never stay up much later than the normal before test. I know that if I take the test tire the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher didn’t want. Basically I do not stress out about bad grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even, more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.

I Will Until I Succeed Part 2

         

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 your first test in a 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 for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have proofread. Also, with written assignments, 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 team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communications is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. Its really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when 2 people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it .
