2nd Quarter Begins!

It’s begun!  The 2nd Quarter is the time to do your best in your classes.  It’s the time when you’ve (hopefully) become comfortable with other students in the class and with the teacher.  It’s the time when you’ve gotten over the shock of the new class and are ready to get down to work.  It’s also the time to make your grades work for you.

Here’s a couple of study suggestions and site you might want to check out.  They will help!

This website is a wonderful tool and you will sweat it, believe me.  Go to it to work on skills to make yourself a better writer.  As I’ve said in class, if you can write effectively, you can do anything in life.  So many doors become open to you.  Check it out and do your best.

Here are a couple of other sites for you.  Both are helpful in taking notes in a class.  They talk about the Cornell Note System. [Site 1, Site 2, Site 3] If you learn this technique for taking notes, you will be unstoppable in college.  Everyone will want to study with you.  You may also make some extra cash selling your notes to Freshmen… who knows?

How about reading the textbook?  Want some ideas on that?  Check out this site for the SQRW method explained.

I’ll add more sites and suggestions as the days go on.  Let me know if you have any questions.
