Dot – What?

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

·        Dot-com is not only for business; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well- known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·        Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present present all sides of an argument.

·        Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·        Dot-mail is used by sites that are a part of the military.

·        Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-reowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information accuracy.

5 Tips- for Success

Tips 3-4

Tip 3: Do the Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tips4: Use a dictionary

Make  sure you have a access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t.  Rather than simply skipping  over the words you don’t know, take time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose very considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind. “MacGowan  continues, “ For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Students athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

Reflection: Choosing the right is always the right thing to do because good things happen to good people. Bad things will always happen to bad people! If you do something good to someone one day, life will repay the favor. One day. But never choose the right to benefit from, choose the right because it’s the right thing to do!

I agree with this statement because does it really matter to look cool in front of people. Being lonely because you chose the right is better than having company over like the cops because of choosing the wrong.

“Improvement begins with I”

Anon

You can’t change who you are, you can only improve. I have to agree with this statement because if you want to change something, you have to start with your self. That’s the only way things will get better. You must become a better person by improving in things that you need to work on. 

Reflection

Student Success Statement

“Its is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

Joseph Smith

Reflection: This quotes means that to do good you will always have to choose the right. To be all that you can be good to show others that being good is awesome and that there comes great things in life for those who CHOOSE THE RIGHT!. Also some people will try and stop you but just because you are above them. Those type of people will always try to bring you down but just have your head up high and do what you have to do to do right. And ignore the ignorant and avoid those bad ones that don’t care about there work in life. You just stay on your path.
