In the first week, I decided to go to sleep earlier then before, which was at 2AM. First of all, I adjusted my schedule I did my homework earlier and was done by 12PM. Secondly, I made a compromise with myself that if I watched movies I would not play games and vice versa. However, the obstacle that I met was to change my schedule. Since I used to be a late night person.
This class moves too fast and has enough work without extra credit. * The pace of the class also makes it too difficult to have late work of make-up work, so there is none. Plus, since I drop you lowest essay scores and your lowest exercise scores I think it’s fair. If you miss one, that just becomes the one of the dropped ones. * Attendance * I have to call roll for the first couple of days for administrative purposes, but I will not take formal attendance.
Don’t try to cram all of your studying in at once; it is best to take breaks in between. You may study for an hour and then take a ten to fifteen minute break or nap. Taking naps after learning something new helps the brain absorb the knowledge better than studying for hours at a time. “Your memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle” (Linksman, 2003). It is best to study one topic at a time and to review the notes and materials frequently throughout the week.
If the quiet hours are extended to maybe 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. which is 12 hours. The noise would be at a minimum and student would be able to sleep and relax during their leisure time. By increasing the quiet hours student can go to bed earlier, for example, around 8:30 rather than 10:00 or 11:00 when there is peace and quiet. Through the week the quiet hours should be 12 hours so that students can study and have a peace of mind when they get out of class. And on weekends the quiet hours should remain the same to keep the noise levels at a minimum.
I will spend a set amount of time on each class certain days. On the days I do not schedule for classes, if I have free time, I can catch up on any assignment I need to. The way I am juggling school and family responsibilities will be to set aside time for school in the morning while my children are at school and my husband is at work. By doing so, I will have plenty of time for my family responsibilities in the afternoon and at night. When I get a job I will change my school time to after the kids have gone to bed, so it doesn’t interfere with my family time.
I believe that many students need motivations and reasons to do frequent studying, reading, and exercising; therefore frequent in-class exams will give them good reasons and motivations to start reviewing a chapter. Frequent tests will be more efficient in classes that require a lot of readings and memorizing, such as history, politic, geography, etc, because if a student procrastinate his reading until a night before the test, he will be overwhelmed. Another advantage from frequent exams is that students can use their returned exams that have been given feedbacks and the right answers for their study guides to prepare for their midterm or
When you were a teenager, how often did you find yourself sleepy during school? How often did you fall asleep during class? Research probes that if schools had later start times kids would be more alert during the day, grades would improve, behavior would improve, and there will be less tardiness. Lets face it, most teenagers usually go to bed late, meaning they wake up late for school, and then result in tardiness. Constantly being for the same class, students begin to fail, and who wouldn't be upset from that?
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
An encounter in where I realized the importance of time management was when I went to bed late on a school night and missed a whole class and lab. Academically, I was raised to never skip classes since education is the key to success. Since that encounter, I developed a consistent and organized schedule that is similar to the one we created in class for my daily activities and my homework assignments. Writing down your schedule whether it is for homework or extra-curricular, makes you well aware of how the next day will be and the importance a minute can make. I can say that my views on time management have completely changed 100% since there is nobody else in college to watch over you but yourself.
Kids to get tired and some can not focus for six whole hours straight. With online, of course you have to do six hours but you can do it whenever. It allows you to take breaks between when they get exhausted. Finally important, I suggest that summer school online is good due to doing it by you inedepently. Yes, of course you have your meetings and test to go do inside the school lab, but you still have your independence.
