Student Success Statement: Reflection

                  Student Success Statement
            "Everyone is the architect of their own learning."
                                            Claudius





Reflection: 
What this statement probably means is that the one that builds their learning is yourself. In other words, you are responsible for your own education. For example, There is a test the next day and you want t pass it ,so what you should do, instead of cheating, is you study the night before the test or if you knew about a week ago, you could of studied during that time, and you are sure to pass the test because you were responsible for your own learning.
                                                   

Problem-Solving Skills 4 of 10

    Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s question. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold a study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time.

Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.

When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

Walk the Talk

What I feel about walking the talk is having the opportunity to do what is right. I feel confident about doing whatever it describes like integrity, honesty, respect, etc. Every day is a new one ,but sometimes you can start it off as a good day. Doing what you could do can help build a brighter future for those who believe in walking the talk, even those that are the trouble-makers. Decide which path you should take, the one that leads you to your bright future or the one that will get you nowhere. It helps walking the talk because without it we would all be lost.

10 Time Management Tips for Students

                            Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

My strategies for written assignments: everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

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 longer sessions at night before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I that if I take the tired the next day I will not do as well as 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 I did that the teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth really getting 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.
