Improve your study skills

Sq3r stand for:

·     Survey

·     Question

·     Read

·     Recite

·     Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time. SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most effectively. Here’s this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·     Read the title, headings and subheadings.

·     Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·     Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material

·     Read questions

·     Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

5 TIPS FOR SUCCESS

TIP 5

TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS
WHEN YOU FEEL CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING YOU'RE READING, WRITE DOWN ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SOMETIMES YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AS YOU READ FURTHER. IF NOT, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP. REMEMBER, TEACHERS CREATE ASSIGNMENTS; THEY'VE READ THE TEXTS AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. WHEN YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, YOUR TEACHERS CAN PROVIDE ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. LEARNING IS ROOTED IN QUESTIONS DEVELOPED AND ASKED BY THE LEARNER.

ASKING QUESTIONS TO YOU, TO THE TEACHER, AND TO OTHERS, IS A GREAT LEARNING METHOD. WHEN YOU CEASE TO ASK QUESTIONS, YOU CEASE TO EXIST TO A GREAT EXTENT. READ ACTIVELY BY SILENTLY ASKING QUESTIONS AS YOU READ. QUESTIONING IMMERSES YOU INTO THE MATERIAL YOU ARE READING AND THEREFORE WILL EXPAND YOUR MENTAL CAPACITIES MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE.

THE PHILOSOPHER SIR FRANCIS BACON SAID, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER." IMPROVING YOUR READING COMPREHENSION IS THE KEY TO GAINING IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE AND MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR EDUCATION. SO PICK UP A BOOK... AND A PEN.

"when i was teaching basketball, i urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. the rule is even more important in life than basketball. you have to apply yourself eachday to become a little better. by applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each an ever day over the period of time, you will become a lot better. only then will you will be able to approach being the best you can be. it begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can ever make up for lost day."
if you try you hardest you will succeed if you stick with it that's why you should always stick with what your going to do!!!

Tip 3: do research

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

Tip 4: use dictionary

Make sure you have 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 the time to look them up. The results are well worth effort.

5 tips for success

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip: annotate

 Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements. Key factorial information and significant ideas in text.

Tip 2: note the authors writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the authors writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols—or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help’s readers comprehend a central argument theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

To succeed in high school and school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated; here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.                       Focus on high-impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that make more time and effort to accomplish are probability the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it another step on your way to college success.

2.                       create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to the one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way.

take control of your homework so it doesnt control you part 3

                        Take control of homework

So it doesn’t control you

Part 3

Take advantage of any free time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can ever have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot o homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate your achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestone’s or doing something well.

Part 2

Keep things in perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get more involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topic with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask you teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·     Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·     Build study habits that are essential in college.

·     Prepare for your classes.

·     Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator) if you don’t have a quiet place at home, try our school or local library.

Know where to begin.

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignment first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

For review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it is test time. You’ve been doing the work all along. Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, exponent with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in the 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 the 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 the long term and for test down the road.

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.                       Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.                       Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.                       Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.

4.                       Indicate main supporting points as you go.

5.                       Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.                       Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

Part 4

Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because that focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer—and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assighnments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentences structure above average, vocabulary extraordaninary. You need to have online access with reliable.

Decide whether it’s right for you

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interest and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.

Challenging aspects of distance education

·       Lack of in-person interaction: some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in the chat rooms, message boards or web conferences—but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

·       Different levels of quality: many distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not.

·       Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorus enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into it’s accreditation before enrolling.

·       The need to self-start: distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not, be the ideal educational setting for you.

Positive aspects of distance education

·      Independence and time management: taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time effectively.

·      A flexible schedule: schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your area interest.

·      Advanced and specialized classes: some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

Other students who are in class that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”
