http://www.collegeboar.com/student/plan/college-success/26666.html

Improve Tour Study Skills

SQ3R stands for:

SURVEY

QUESTION

READ

RECITE

REVIEW

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.

In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

SURVEY

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights.

·         Read the title, headings and italicized or bold.

·         Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·         Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·         Read captions.

·         Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

5 Tips for Success

Tips 3-4

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In additional to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievements 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly; you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment. take a walk, send an email, get a snack. then move on to the next project.

The key in school is staying focused on your courses work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it then make a plan.

For example, even though all homework assignments are important studying for midterm exam takes time.

2.                        Create new challenge

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignments last year, try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in the distance learning class is written. That a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer – and strong writing skills essential to academic success. However, if writing a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure, above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online reliable equipment. If your internet communication at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go someplace where you do have access to the internet.

 Decide Whether It’s Right for You

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you, you really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. Write distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students. It’s not that right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give distance education a try; then decide if it is right for you.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

·        Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher student and student-student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in cha rooms, message boards or web conferences—but it’s not the same as being other student in a classroom.

·        Different levels of quality: many different education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.

·        The need to self-start: distance education lets you make your own schedule. If you have hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within to"

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

I think this quote means that no matter how small the lie is or if you lie about something small it can become a big problem. so you should always say the truth.for example if you lie about going to school and you didn't end up going you went to ditch with your friends and your parents ask you if you went you said yes and they believe you for a while then they will obviously find out the truth and you will get more in trouble so it is always good to say the truth.

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

·      Independence and time management. Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own time. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

·      A flexible schedule schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you flexibility to explode all your areas of interest.

·      Advanced and specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

you may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class – through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present, where is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost everywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school student’s. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be rewarding experience if you are some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·      Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately

·      Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedule as far ahead of time as possible.

·      If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·      Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and your work commitments.

·      If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classroom must keep that reality in mind.”
