Recommended: How to be an excellent student

I was interested and excited to watch the Youtube video "Study Less, Study Smart" from Dr. Marty Lobdell again. Within his lecture he provides interesting study techniques and tips. In the previous discussion, I mentioned how it helped me to “create a dedicated study area” while studying. Lobdell mentioned that while studying with the SQ3R method, create a dedicated study area, study actively, study with breaks in between or other helpful techniques, students increase their success in becoming a better studier (Lobdell 2011). During his lecture, these several mentioned helpful points, were some of Lobdell’s major study ideas. After years of not going to college, I didn’t know how to study efficiently no more. After watching the first time

  • What Our Education Needs Is More F's Summary

    1068 Words  | 3 Pages

    An F is a grade that many students fear of obtaining in their school career, unless the student does not care about his or her education. In Carl Singleton’s article, What Our Education Needs is More F’s, Singleton expresses his belief that if students begin to receive more F’s, students would be working harder to earn good grades, parents would become more considerate of their child’s education, and teachers would be stricter and harsher when grading. Therefore, education systems requiring teachers to frequently give more F’s will fix the “inadequacies of American education,” or so Singleton believes. (Singleton). Unfortunately, Singleton’s plan if enforced, would have several negative effects to it, such as; students’ motivation would instead diminish rather than accelerate, students would not

  • What Our Education System Needs Is More F's Summary

    According to Carl Singleton, author of the article, “What Our Education System Needs Is More F’s”, many of the problems plaguing the American educational system could be solved if teachers would begin to give failing grades to students who deserve them. He attributes the practice of inappropriate grade assignment on poorly educated teachers, uninvolved parents, and an ineffective administration; in addition, he contends that until educators begin to liberally disperse the grade of F to all of the students who deserve them, no other reform will work. He believes that widespread distribution of F grades will result in teachers, parents, and the educational system, taking responsibility for the failure to educate America’s youth. Examination of Singleton’s article reveals his

  • Analysis Of More Testing More Learning

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a college student, is the idea of your final grade being based off of just a midterm and final very stressful? O 'Malley argues in his essay "More Testing, More Learning" that professors should give out more quizzes and assignments to reduce the stress and procrastination students face before midterms and finals. Although this might be helpful for a high school setting, it would not be completely efficient at a college level. This is because frequent testing takes up a significant amount of students and professors time, are added stress throughout the year, will not fix a students procrastination, and having high stake tests prepares students for their future. Some of O 'Malley 's ideas seem reasonable and would help students while others are an inconvenience for the professor and students.

That’s why the study of metacognition and multiple intelligence is now being used in classrooms and at home to better prepare the student for upcoming tests. Metacognition is being able to take charge, be aware and understand your own learning and thought process.
