After Class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any in blanks.

Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If

You don’t understand something; get help from your teacher or Classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material for long term and test down the road.

Science

Science teachers you to think analytically and apply theories to reality. Colleges want to see that you’ve taken at least three years of laboratory science classes. A good combination includes two semesters of each of the following science:

·         Biology

·         Chemistry or physics

·         Earth/ space science

More competitive schools expect you to take four years of lab science courses. You can add two semesters in one of the following subjects:

·         Chemistry or physics(the science you didn’t already study)

Fail a Question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.

3.  Learn that a student and professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would like you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

Successful student reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned you material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, and you share the same interest, the same goals – in short, your team mates get to know your professor.

You’re the most valuable players on the team. You jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a long season. Be a team player!

My Strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. I lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in the team project: Personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead, I like talking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as i do, or they have more time to waste on things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get good grades, I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then is a different story.
