My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave them until the last minute because then I will just goof up work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things that I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: personally, I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I work on in high school. However, when it is required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like taking the lead because then I know that my grade will be a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working   in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a god student. The info that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading a book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do reading that is required for the cases, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and attend every class I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of the volleyball I make sure that I can get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what material means.
