Student Success Statement
“You will never regret doing what’s right.”
Anon
I agree. Doing what’s right gives great satisfaction. Even if it means that’s choosing the right won’t benefit you in anyway, choosing the right is always the right thing to do, and great things come from that.

Laura B.’s Academic Success story

In high school I was one of the good students who really didn’t have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class has begun. It wasn’t that I didn’t try.  I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up.  If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes with Volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had come up with a new product and 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 star drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language.
Here are my final words of wisdom for  students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement/Reflection


Student Success Statement

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

-French Proverb

 

Reflection

I believe French Proverb is saying that the only way one can be at ease is by having a clear conscience. I agree with him. When one has a bad conscience, they always have it in the back of their mind even if they try to ignore it. They can’t be at peace.

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 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 it 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 to succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Deposit your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cellphone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the mane emails. The worst is when too people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Alcohol and drugs are terrible. Many deaths are caused by alcohol and drugs. Horrible things like depression happen due to the use of these things. They change your life but in a horrific way! Never ever due them especially if you haven’t started, if you started then stop and choose the right.
