Student Success Statement

“Success is dependent on effort”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

My opinion about this statement is that success depends on effort. When you put a lot of effort on things you will receive success and there will probably be no obstacles. It’s always better to put a lot of effort into things. Always. Always.

Choose where to Study   www.apstudynotes.org

Where you Should study depends on two facts: the environment in which you are best available to concentrate the type of work you are planning to do.

-         The best places to study have good light, a comfortable tempature and enough desk space – usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

-         For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

-         When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social envirment.

Improve you study skills

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

-         Have a routine for where and when you study.

-         Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

-         Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

-         Take breaks if you need them so you don’t  waste time looking  at material but not absorbing it.

-         Get to know students whom you respect  and can study with or contact to ask questions.

-         Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

7. … understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

If you act in certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit you directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. …talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only a good thing for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge form short-term to long term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems readings, etc. with friends recite to a chair, organize an oral study group pretend you’re teaching ypur peers. “talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

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 for 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 just memorized like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practice situations. As for English I am no longer taking it but I would say to leave myself 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.

I can and will work as a team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do their work. I don’t like having to pick up the slack, but I will if I know my grade will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to rue in favor or against something, but it could  be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first  A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.
