Tiger Woods reflection

Tiger Woods

Reflection: I think tiger woods is a horrible person that doesn’t care  for anyone but himself. He was so cold hearted that he neglected his own brother, while his brother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was willing to see tiger woods as he was at the hospital. However Tiger Woods was an arrogant man that won’t have the pants to go see his brother at the hospital and not to neglect him.

My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher didn’t want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time that a test is coming I study even more so that I won’t be surprised by the next question.

How I deal with multiple project/tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one.     If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other one in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

Student success statement

Student success statement

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer to neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again.”
-Etienne de Grellet-

Reflection: I agree with this statement because you should always share your success and wealth among others around you. If you deny giving help to any individual, your conscious will feel guilty and you won’t be able to live in peace.

My time management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is write everything down if I am going to email people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day that is showing me what I am doing every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing class is a killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having turn things late or not being in class.

My three week activites

My 3 week activities

What I did on the vacation was to go to my cousin’s house for Christmas to have a good time with them, and New year I just stayed with the family. I also went to the theatre to go see a movie called “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.  Although for the rest of my time free I spent it on the bed watching TV.

My test study methods: When it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review sessions. Also I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forgot something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is law of learning; therefor, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, that more you practice a song on the piano, the better you become at playing the song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying that or doing it the better you can remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous of times since first being exposed to it. So, Practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.

Practice---- Proficiency----- Pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
