Academic Success
Part 2
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 a 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 had never really had to put
forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. 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 all the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use
the reading that I did not get as an additional study aid. I take good notes in
class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball,
its though because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of
volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class.
Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand
what the material means.
