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 assignments is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes you’re questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; you've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific question, 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 yourself, 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.

This rule is even more important in life than 

basketball. You have to apply yourself each 

day to become a little better. By applying 

yourself to the task of becoming a little better 

each and every day over a period of time, you

 will become a lot better. Only then will you be 

able to approach being the best you can be. It

 begins by trying to make each day count and 

knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John Wooden

 Reflection: 

this statement is showing me that if try my 

best each day , my best will improve little by 

little.

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary circuits have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you are having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it in addition to increasing comprehension, you'll also be showing intimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: Use a 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 but sometimes you can. Rather than simply skipping over words you don’t know, tale the 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.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge your Accomplishments    

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send email, get a snack. Then move out to the next project.

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 upcoming class or start your homework. Flashcards 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 a stack of your flashcards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flashcards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A FLASHCARD.

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 counselors. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate Your Achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones. Or doing something well.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and prosperity.”

-Robert E. Lee

Reflection: I agree with what Robert E. Lee has quoted. It is better to do the right even if it’s hard because afterwards you will get positive consequences. It’s better to do the right and suffer only a little than to do the wrong and suffer with those choices for a long time. It’s good to just do the right when you have the chance than to do nothing or than to do something wrong.

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 keys 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 as when its test time.

You’ve been doing all the work alone

Try out the cornel system, but if it doesn’t work out for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your class mate how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking god 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 end, review your notes and fill inn any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes in 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 the long term and for tests down the road.

Distance education: is a virtual classroom for you

Challenging aspects of distance education

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

·      Different level of quality: many distance education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not research any program before signing on to make it’s 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.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: I think this means that everything that has happened or will happen doesn’t matter as much as what you can make happen. What you can make happen is far more important because one person is capable of doing so much from so little even in the worst of times. The only thing left to do is to try and use the resources that you have whether they are a lot or a little and use them to create something big and life changing.“What lies before us” is determined by what we do in the present time and “what lies behind us”is no longer important because the past is the past and it’s time to move on. Within every single person is the strength to make an important step towards becoming or doing something amazing.

Positive aspects of distance education

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

·       A flexible schedule: schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and the 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 areas of 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

Gold medal-winning race walker Alex Schwazer was the first walker to come in at the London Olympics after 3 hours and 39 minutes. Shortly after that he was found using drugs to make him run faster, he was doping his blood. When the authorities found out he was banned from the Olympics and he was proud of it because he said that without getting caught he would have still been using drugs.

Reflection:  I think it’s dumb how Alex used drugs for the Olympics and how he wasn’t even ashamed of it when he was caught. Alex should have just worked on his own to win the gold medals instead of breaking the rules and becoming a cheater. Cheating will only bring negative consequences just like hoe Alex was caught and was banned form the Olympics. Even if he says he’s proud of it eventually he will realize what a bad decision he made and now that burden will be him forever.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class----through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-base technology lets students almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

 For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in the class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school student. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding 

experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the 

situation and make the most of your time:

 Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and 

work is easier with their support.

·Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead 

of time as possible.

·       Use your time efficiently.  You use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go 

over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and 

your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·       If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your 

schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·       Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on 

some other thing you might like to do because of your school and work 

commitments.

·       If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·       Schedule relaxation. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy 

and healthy

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary 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. Student 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 in mind.”
