Recommended: What does it take to succeed in an Internet-based college course?

Introduction – This is a very tricky assignment. I know the grade I want but it’s a little harder to say what grade I deserve. The word deserves sounds like more like entitled so the question for me would be what grade have I earned. To measure what you have earned you must examine the amount of effort that was given. So, the following behaviors are demonstrations of the effort I put into the grade I get in the class. Being organized In this class, I worked to remain organized in order to turn in all of my assignments on time. I also made a point to be on time or early for class every day. Finding the study method that works For the first exam, I study very little with a piece of paper that I had written the answer to the question on the study guide on. This did not work well and I ended up doing poorly on the exam. For the second exam, I made flashcards and studied with a …show more content…

The test scores are evidence of that. This has a lot to do with finding the right method of studying for this class. But I think that my improvement was because I had the determination to improve. I am usually a good student and will get decent grades. When I got the first exam back and saw that it was a low “C” I was determined to do better on the next exam. This transferred over to the whole class I was determined that I was going to get a good grade in this class and so I set out to improve by changing my study habits and tried to stay on top of all the assignments. I also didn’t want to leave the class feeling I didn’t understand anything. At the beginning of the semester, I was very lost because all of the concepts seemed to be foreign to me, wasn’t until I started doing my observation for the social group analysis that things started to click for me. So as far as improvement goes I feel like I accomplished this because I went from not knowing anything to understanding different concepts, more than I thought I

    Just as they are standing face-to-face with each other, I am standing face-to-face with procrastination. I encounter difficulty managing my time with just about everything I do; I always wait too long. Throughout high school I was never in a hurry to get any of my work done. The work was easy to me, so if I waited until the last minute to do anything, it wasn’t hard for me to finish. I could always take my time to get everything done and still get a good grade in high school. Even if the work was harder and took me a little extra time, my teachers were all very lenient and accepted late work. My high school was very easy and allowed me to get into the bad habit of procrastinating.

For example, for each essay due, there were smaller deadlines that needed to be met. As I kept up with those smaller assignments, the actual large due date was not intimidating and I was able to handle the stress better. I will definitely use this approach in my future academic writing assignments.

  • Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits Essay

    537 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of my studying techniques is to have one of my family members verbally assess me on the topic of examination based on information in my textbook for the given subject. This compares to what I have just learned because I sometimes alter the location of study during these sessions, such as one time in the dining room and one time in another room of the house. However, I would always stay on one subject for a long time, which may not have been a very good idea. Another studying technique that I used to have was studying the night before or the morning of the exam because I thought (with the influence of a girl from my fifth grade class) that the information would be easy to retain since it was so recently reviewed. This compares to the article since all of the material comes back to me, but is mostly forgotten long after I take the examination.

  • Life Lesson Essay

    One of the lessons I have learned from the last four years is organization. Organization is a good quality to have when it comes to school work. There will be days where you’ll shove papers into your bookbag in a hurry but it is always best to go back and organize all papers. Somedays I would lose many papers because I shoved them in my bag. This has caused me to stress over papers I could not find in order to turn in and that affected my grades. In my first year of high school it was very difficult to stay organized but I was able to complete the year organized. It wasn’t till the second half of my sophomore year that I started to lose the structure in my school work. Having good organization is not just having your supplies organized it having yourself together. Being organized will make you feel prepared for your classes and you feel like you have everything in

    Having bad study habits can really show up in your grades, but if you change your study habits your grades will improve. Many important things factor in understanding about studying. The most important fact about studying: no two people think alike; therefore, no two people study the same. What works for you may not work for your friend, and vice versa.
