I was about to begin the fourth week of classes. This means that the job is getting harder time and external distractions might make things a little more difficult. So if you hit the books only to find they were rejected, and director of academic success Bruce Epps offers these 5 tips for student scholarships. 1. Increase your thinking. The transition from high school to think about thinking the university level. Most new college students have difficulty with this transformation, especially when it comes to the development of critical thinking skills of their own. We asked the teachers to get explicit about how to integrate critical thinking in the instructions for college work. If you were given the task of the group, and ask for details about what is expected of the group, and make sure your partner knows his role. If you are writing assignment is to investigate, inquire about the good way to search, evaluate and work with academic sources. Tip: The library has a wealth of resources to help. 2. Divide and conquer. The occurrence of the incident is not delayed. Procrastination is your frenemy - most college students embrace, but they (and degrees) brings down at the end. Psychologist William Knaus estimated 90 percent of all college students procrastinate and 25 percent of them are chronic defaulters. Out of your old patterns and embrace time management. For each passing hour in class, plans to spend two or three out of studio classes and complete missions. Do not take the whole task at a time. Break projects into smaller tasks and give all the history of the beginning and end date and a box you can check when full. For example, to conduct creates separate script to put the finishing touches on the subject maturities, and the creation of a working draft, edit and create bibliographies. 3. Knowledge on the fly. The key to getting ready for the exam and reducing test anxiety is prepared daily. Collect as much information as possible on the content and format of the examination will be covered. Talk to your teacher for specific advice on how to prepare for the exam, and especially how to make effective use of notes and textbooks and lectures, of course, presentations, etc. Read reviews a day, paraphrasing and summarizing progress to measure their understanding of the material. Draw a clear link between of the same family concepts, and practice answering possible exam questions. 4. Express (and thoughts). It is common for students who are perfectly able to understand the main concepts of the course in the fight with the development of ideas more contacts and see the "big picture" and use what they know to help them participate in their original thinking. Develop and consolidate the knowledge of new ideas, and try to say aloud or paper. Do not just think about it. You will be amazed at the clarity that comes with writing and expressing their thoughts. While you're at it, and link these ideas to what you know, questioning himself. Ask: "What do I already know about it How does this new information to communicate with what they already know about this topic?" 5. Do not just read it again. Re-operation. If you want to improve remember, you have to deal with several times the content in multiple ways. Some students take the minimum to review the topics of reading the chapters re-focus or checking his notes. But to improve your call, process the material in a different way try again. Use a different strategy or technique every time you check the material - writing new comments paraphrasing, summarizing, or create flash cards. (They are not only for students in the second row, as you know.) If you are a visual learner, in the attempt to create a chart or graph. There is a wealth of information on the Internet free drawing tools and fun there. We have found the list useful along with it. http://www.capital.edu/News_and_Events/Student_Center/Top_10_Study_Tips_for_Students.aspx
