Academic Success

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 good student. The information 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 fourth much. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the 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 the reading that is required for the classes, 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 actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss the class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student that is in the same class. Also, for subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.
