Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

The management became a key factor in my study skills for collage. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in collage. I made sure in collage I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if it wasn't required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: Structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn't study for a Religion Class the same way I studied for a Finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class – even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating group.

English , math , foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you learned or what you’re studying for in class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in collage: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.
