Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here's how you can create questions:

• Turn the title, headings or subheadings into question.
• Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations -- these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

Student Success Tips

Student Success Tips

From Edison College

1.Attend New Student Orientation at the beginning of Fall or Spring Semester.

2.Gen 101S, First Year Experience, provides excellent content and resources to be a successful student. It is likely that this class will be part of your first semester.

3. Be sure to attend all classes, and be on time.

4.To reduce distractions, sit near the front of the class.

5.Keep a copy of the syllabus for each class so that you will know what is going on, what you should be doing, and how soon you need to get it done.

6.Be a good listener. Focus and concentrate on main points.

7.Take good notes in class, and review your notes within 24 hours. Then, review your notes periodically to help you retain information. Index cards with key information are also a helpful way to review.

8.Study! To be a successful college student, study at least two hours a week for every hour you spend in class. This is a minimum.

9.Determine an ideal study space, and plan study time when you are at your best to retain information.

10.Maintain a student planner to keep track of important dates and projects.

11.Apply additional time management strategies, including planning, setting goals, and prioritizing schoolwork and your additional responsibilities.

12.Avoid marathon study periods. Instead, study for short intervals with a break in between. For example, study for 30 minutes, take a 3-minute break, come back review, than repeat the process.

13.Get to know other students in your classes for added support and to study together when possible.

14.Participate in class, and ask your instructor questions when needed. Meet with them during office hours for additional support and guidance.

Social Studies 

You can better understand a local and world event that are happening now by studying the culture and that has shaped them. Here is a suggested courses plan:

• U.S. history (two semesters)
• U.S. government (one semester)
• World history or geography (one semester)
• One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you're willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Respiration is the key to learning a language, and having conversation with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

       English, math, foreign language tips: Practice – especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and looks at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Time management and organization are critical key factors to succeed in college. And never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for a reason-use them!
