Student Success Statement

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Liane Cordes

Reflection:

Yes, when you put in the effort day after, day and as the day’s pass you will notice that it is worth it. Smartness doesn’t matter anybody could be that, but you will define who you really are when you put effort. That’s the secret key that will unlock potential.

It’s Online, but Is It On Target?

Part 2

Research with Attitude:

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·         Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the Article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives –like selling products or winning votes –that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

Student Success Statement

“The first law of success. . . Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”

William Mathews

Reflection:

The way I’m going to emphasize on this statement by William Mathews, is that it’s mentioning that when you’re handling serious business you always need to pay attention and concentrate on what’s important for you and your future, all hope is in you.



SQ3R

SQ3R=Survey-Question-Read-Recite-Review

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 questions.

·         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.

Reading

5 Tips for Success

Tips 3-4

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical 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 addition 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.

Tips 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, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.
