Student Success Statement

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never that fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”-Gilbert Arland

Reflection: This to me means that when one messes up in something it’s not the other persons or thing fault but it’s yours. Also that if one chooses the wrong the only person the blame is yourself why because you are the one that decided to do it no one can decide for you except you.

Recite

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite the answer to your question for that section. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it,
Now repeat the question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answers can help you study in the future.

Review

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.
Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for your tests, you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

Questions

As you survey the text, ask questions for each selection. Ask who, what, where, when, why, and how questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:
·       Turn the tittle, heading or subtitle into questions.
·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text the authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including table, graphs, and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

Student success statement

“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow”-Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection: These statements to me means that if one has to chance to do something today do it don’t wait till last minute. Or wait until tomorrow because you never know when later on you’ll have a chance to do something great in life but if post-pone it, that won’t be as great as leaving it till another day.

SQ3R: A Great Reading and Studying Technique
Improve your study skills

SQ3R STANDS FOR: 
Survey
Question
Read
Recite
Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you'll be required to do lots of reading. You'll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.
SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.
Survey
Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read the tittle, heading and subtitle.
·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.
·       Look at charts, graphs, picture, maps, and other visual materials.
·       Read captions.
·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Student Success Statement

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be Evil.”-Ayn Rand

Reflection: This means that when one chooses the wrong there is no explanation to make it seem otherwise. This is because one should know when making a decision that what they are going to do is bad or good so it's up to one that if you get caught doing the wrong there is no way you can make it sound like a good action.

Tip 5

Tip 5: Keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts are familiar with them. When you have a specific question, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said,” Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.
