Surviving Midterms
Even though I have been a student for almost three years, I will never find a perfect way to survive midterms. I have definitely had it easy the past couple of semesters, but this semester it felt like a round of finals. What made this round of midterms different was not the increase in work, but my change of habits in order to achieve success. The first change of habit I made was taking my organization level to another level. I got on top of my game, and wrote down every single assignment I needed to get taken care of before I was able to start my spring break. Between exams and presentations, it definitely made it seem like it was overwhelming. But, by staying organized it helped me visualize what I needed to get done. The second habit

    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, authored by Steven Covey Book report in APA format

    The first three habits focus on obtaining private victory, or making change within yourself, to achieve independence from dependence. The first habit to begin this transition is to be proactive. Highly effective people do not resign to the fact that there is nothing they can do about a problem or situation. Effective people institute change with what they have the power to influence, and they feel that they can influence almost everything.…

    Week 2 discussion questions

    1. Make to do lists. This is something that I already do to a degree in my personal life, but not as often as I should. I plan on implementing this to help me achieve my educational goals. Lists help organize things by importance and act as a reminder to finish tasks I might leave behind. Personally when I complete tasks on my lists I feel a sense of accomplishment and have more desire to tackle some of the harder tasks on my list. I will begin to implement this time management skill with this class, and carry it over to block 2 through Gateway Community College.…

    John Dewey Habits and Will

    According to John Dewey, Habits are inevitable. We are empowered by both good and bad habits. In his essay, “Habits and Will”, Dewey states that we envision bad habits as such acts of “foolish idling, gambling, addiction to liquor and drugs”, and we associate good habits with skills such as walking, playing a musical instrument, and typing. We see bad habits as desires and good habits as abilities that “exist far from our impulsive desires”. Bad habits are not deliberately formed and are also hard to break. Dewey explains that will power alone is not enough; one must follow a specific method to turn habits around. I feel that I, someone who tends to get distracted easily and procrastinate, should benefit from Dewey’s habit-breaking method.…

    My Challenges In To Kill A Mockingbird

    I had some challenges in the first semester. I realized that it gets harder every year. I felt like ninth grade was a bit easier than this year. The final for English was easy. There were only two questions. We took a final for the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. My goal is to have good grades, but also pass every class so that I don’t have to retake any. I want to be able to graduate on time. It always gets hard when almost end of the semester. That is the time when teachers start to give out more work. It’s a good idea but the same time bad. It can help bring grades up for some people. Most people are lazy so they rather not do it and fail the semester. My challenge was trying to focus with so many distractions in the way.…

    Personal Narrative: My Three Changes In School

    Lastly is my third change, which is to focus on one thing at a time. I'll do this because it'll make doing homework projects and etc. easier for me and not overwhelming as much. Overwhelming myself it's pretty easy so what I'll do is one I'll take out one subject at a time preferably an order of my classes. I also know that if I'm not well organized things will get messy and things will be wrong. So to keep that from happening I'll put away or turn off all distracting things.…

    Psychology 200

    Quizzes: Coming into college, I had very poor study habits. That quickly changed after being assigned the weekly quizzes. The quizzes were quite demanding due to time restraints and the critical thinking involved with each question. Therefore, instead of skimming over the definitions as I would normally do, I was forced to thoroughly read and understand the material. I preferred the group quizzes to the personal quizzes. With more brainpower, we always scored well and it helped improve my grade. I chose my group wisely and everyone contributed, but those that do not read could easily take advantage of the group quizzes. The biggest obstacles to the quizzes were the time restraints, the critical thinking involved, and the fact that there was a group quiz every class, meaning missing a class would harm your grade.…

    This semester was extremely challenging for me, and there were a lot of factors that contributed to my inability to study as hard as I know I am cable of. Had my first child this year, was abandoned by my son’s father to raise my son by myself. To make matters worse, I had some medical complications with my health. I was diagnosed with a Pulmonary Embolism. This news was devastating to me. I was hospitalize for a long time and was so depressed. With all of my problems at hand I had to go to work and work 40 hours a week just so I could support me and my son.

I was constantly in and out of the hospital, worried about my health and trying to get well.

    How to Study for an Exam Process Essay

    To be successful on a final exam but ultimately in a class the first thing you must do is attend class. It is important you attend class so that you don’t miss out on anything important. The class time you spend listening to your instructor is one of the most essential ways of retaining information on the subject you’re going over. I’m not saying you must attend every single class in a semester but try your hardest to. If for some reason you do miss class, the next step you would follow is to be sure to get anything you’ve missed from a classmate. I never have an issue when it comes to getting information off classmates because you’ll find that everyone needs a friend in a class one day.…

    Methods of Study for Final Exam

    There is proverb which says that we can tell how successful a person is by watching what he does during his spare time. I once was such kind of guy with no planning, so during weekends or holidays I always felt so boring and have nothing to do and just do what attracted my attention temporarily. Even during the school hours, I needed to spent several time figuring out what I should study next and other things I should do, thus wasting a lot time in rethinking for that day’s objective and rescheduling for that day. But now, I have formed a habit of planning. A plan reminds me the task I should accomplish everyday in a timely order, and the only thing I need to do is to just take a look at it and absorb myself in the next task immediately. So compared with no planning at all, it saves me some time that cannot be neglected.…
