However, this change will only be temporary. One of the major changes I need to do is to manage my time wisely. When I made the decision of going back to school, I was conscious about the things I needed to give up to make time for school. I know that many times I will have to say “no” to family events and to reunions with friends because I will have to do homework. "Don't say you don't have enough time.
No late work will be accepted after the end of term without an Incomplete Grade approval. Certain course activities may not be eligible for submission after the conclusion of the week or unit. These include, but are not limited to, discussion boards, seminars, quizzes, and exams. We know that extenuating circumstances can interfere with timely submission of your work. Be sure to tell your professor and your Education Advisor right away if you are going to be late with a
My favorite day of the week. By the beginning of the week all I want is for the week to end already. By Monday I am already waiting for Friday to get her. Is probably because I know that Friday means that the weekend has arrived. After having a week full of compromises, lack of sleep and no entertainment all I want is some rest, and there is not a better time to do it than the weekend.
WEEKEND - Read chapters 1-3 of The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell. Be sure to get your copy before leaving school. Complete the character assignment in the packet and be prepared to discuss this in class on Monday. [NEXT] NOTE: I will not be able to give you too many nights off from homework between now and the AP exam as we are pressed for time. However, after the exam there will be NO homework other than one project and Regents exam review for the final six weeks of school PAIN IS TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS
This evening I would like to talk you about procrastination. However, I put off writing this speech for so long that I did not get around to actually determining what to tell you about procrastination. Okay...I am just kidding. I only procrastinated until Saturday, and that was only because I wanted to put off grading some essays written by my Senior Composition class. As you may already know, procrastination is one of the easiest ways to not finish your work.
For an example if I wanted to get an A in my class, but I have I B; I will have to work harder for that A. I get an assignment Tuesday and its due the next class period I will have to do that paper the same day I get assigned. While I’m getting my education my priorities have to be in order, of how I want them to be. For instance I have to study for a big test and I rather go to the party. That is not having my priorities together that is procrastinating. Procrastinating all the time is not healthy prior of getting my education.
He brought up a good point that a lot of people wouldn't have thought of in terms of a student’s education. Now I do kind of disagree with Bruno with the fact that as the students who lag behind in high school will later lag behind in college. It's not like the students were told not to push themselves or to take the easy route, they decided to go down that road. Do homework for a hour and really make their paper great or rush it before class. A simple choice like that can make a total difference in whether they really learned something or if they cheated themselves.
Working full-time, like many others in this program, I tend to find that time management is extremely important and where I make most of my daily decisions. Upon completing my first course at the university, I decided to devote the next few days to work alone. As the week progressed however, I devoted more time to work and ultimately found myself in a predicament when it came to my assignments for school. I made my decisions largely focusing on the marginal benefits of money, timeliness of my paperwork and responsibilities, preparedness for
By which I mean taking the time to organize a schedule that works for you, you don't need to burn every brain cell you have, to do this either. I like to set aside a few hours a day to actively study, or even just to simply brush up on something, I set a personal goal to learn something new everyday. Cramming for an upcoming test has been proven to be ineffective, while allowing for very short term recall, this keeps you from being able to remeber information you need on a long term basis. Another huge part of your Study Skills tool kit is taking notes, with the way in which you choose to do so having a large impact
Nowadays I really don’t mind going to school, but I really hated it before. This year of school isn’t all that important to my career, it’s more the foundation of my education. Throughout this year I’ll be learning all the basics of working with automations, which is going to be necessary no matter what I decide to do once the semester is over. Once I finish this year of school, I can choose two ways to reach my goal of becoming an automatics engineer. I can either continue the automatics education I’m taking right now, or I could start taking Intermediate general education classes.
