3 . . . . Ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.

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

                        Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals- in short, your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable player on the team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

Student success statement

“I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after”

Ernest Hemingway

Pay attention to what is right and what’s wrong.

Reflection: what Hemingway means there is a feeling when you do good or bad. There is also an after feeling to that consequence. A good feeling is basically saying that you have a common sense, and a you have no moral when you do absolutely nothing. So always choose the right.!!!

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students . . .

1)    . . . are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it! Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade you earn the glory and deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classrooms participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a larger degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter proves at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2)    . . . have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires.

Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answer these questions represent your “Hot Buttons” and are, without a doubt the most important factors in your success in college student. If your educational goals are truly yours, not someone else’s, they will motivate a vital and positive academic attitude. If you are familiar what these hot buttons represent and refer to them often, especially when  you tire of being a student, nothing can stop you; you aren’t and don’t, everything can and will!

Student Success Statement

“My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.”

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Reflection: What Alfred is trying to say is he is a good person with a good heart. However, that is why his heart is as pure as he is. A person can be soft yet still have a good conscience. This quote can make people realize that they should choose the right, then they will too feel good within themselves.

English, math, foreign language tips: Practice- - especially foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send some simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.

 Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason- use them!

reflection and summary 01-23-`3

summary: Jackie McConnell was a man who was well known to train horses. he would train them to do fabulous tricks. Those horses would probably win first place. However, many people don't know what Jackie McConnell actually did. He would beat the horses, he would burn them  hit them, poke them, and torture them just to get a first place ribbon.  

Reflection:  I didn't even know a person was capable to hurt such a lovely animal. The way you see McConnell in the video was so disturbing. He should be put in jail for animal cruelty. I have a girl dog and i would be so hurt if anything happened to her. This was just so disturbing to watch.

Part 2

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 ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actual 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 my team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they are 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.
