“Character is higher than intellect”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: it doesn’t matter how smart you are, because if you’re not a good person no one will want to be around you and then what’s the point in being smart if others can’t see how smart you really are

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 school or the library.

Study at the same time everyday

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use that time to study notes. If sitting down and doing your work is a regular routine, then every-time that you do it, it will become less dreadful. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

Part 2

During Class

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 speaker’s 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 and 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.

“When you believe that you can --- you can”

-Dr. Maxwell Malts

Reflection: when you want to do something all you have to do is believe. For example when Wendy’s daughter told tinker bell that she didn’t believe in fairies, tinker bell lost her abilities to fly and that got peter really mad. When Wendy’s daughter apologized to tinker bell that she did believe in fairies tinker bell got her abilities to fly again, but this time so did Wendy’s daughter.

How to get your class notes into shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying hard and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you do both. Here are the basics.

Stay organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes can only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:

·         Keep all of your notes in one place.

·         Date and number pages; keeping them in order make them easier to understand them later

Before class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. Bring a list of any questions you may have.
