SOME EXPERTS SAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD STUDENTS AND POOR STUDENTS ISN’T MAINLY ABILITY. INTEAD, IT’S HOW STUDENTS ORGANIZE THEMSELVES TO USE THEIR ABILITIES. A LITTLE ORGANIZATION CAN PRODUCE AMAZING RESULTS!

 

GET ORGANIZED:

 

ü HAVE A HOMEWORK AGENDA OR SCRIBBLER TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR ASSIGNMENTS, AND ALWAYS CARRY IT.

 

ü ASK THE TEACHER FOR SOME OUTSIDE HELP WHEN THE CLASSROOM EXPLANATION IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR YOU.

 

ü USE SCRIBBLERS TO PUT YOUR NOTES IN, AND KEEP THEM ORGANIZED.

 

ü HAVE PHONE NUMBERS FOR CLASSMATES, ESPECIALLY OF ONE WHO WILL BE YOUR “HOMEWORK BUDDY”. THIS IS SOMEONE IN YOUR CLASS WHO COLLECTS HANDS-OUTS AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR YOU ARE ABSENT FROM SCHOOL. YOU CAN BORROW YOUR BUDDY’S NOTES WHEN YOU RETURN TO SCHOOL, AND YOU CAN DO THE SAME FOR THIS FRIEND.

 

ü ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU ARE UNSURE OF SOMETHING.

 

ü PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AS IT IS VERY EASY TO LET YOUR MIND WANDER. TAKE NOTES, CONCENTRATE ON WHAT IS BEING SAID; IT WILL BE EASIER TO ABSORB THE INFORMAION BEING PRESENTED.

 

ü KEEP YOUR BOOKSHELF, DESK, AND KITBAG NEAT.

 

ü BE PREPARED FOR EACH CLASS, BRINGING THE MATERIALS YOU NEED TO CLASS (INCLUDING PENCIL AND PAPER).
