Laura B.’s Academic Success Story
In high school I was one of the
good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The
information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be
able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the
class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high
school, but I never really had 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 if 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.
