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 assignments 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.

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 and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, 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. Questions immerse you into the 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.

Research
Literary critics
have written vast numbers of analytical pieces on countless book. If you’re having
trouble understanding a particular text so some research and see what
knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension
you’ll also be showing in teatime something teachers always like to see. Always
use legitimate and scholarly not condensed study guides
Tip 4 : use a
dictionary
Make sure you have
access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the
meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues but sometimes you cant. Rather
than simply skipping over the under you don’t know to the time to look them up.
The result are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase
greatly and you’ll build your vocabulary
at he same time.

5 tips for success
Reading and writing go hand and hand. The better you understand a test, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.Tips 1-2
tip 1: annotate
be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.
Tip 2: note the author’s writing style
every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading look for patterns in the author’s writing for example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

Tips 3-5
If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any projects in small chunks.
4. Find a social support network
Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.
5. Acknowledge your accomplishments
Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an e-mail, or get a snack. Then move on to a new project.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the track.
1. Focus on High-Impact Activities
The key to success in schools is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from. To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priorities over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.
2. Create New Challenges
Changing you approach can help you stay interested in what you’re going. If you've been given an assignment similar to one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Take Control of Homework
So It Doesn't Control You
Part 3
Take Advantage of Any Free TimeIf you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for and upcoming class to start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT IN A CARD.
Study with a Friend
Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.
Communicate
If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.
Celebrate Your Achievements
Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

Keep things in perspective
Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’ve studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged to your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.
Organize the information
People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

Take Control of Homework
So It Doesn't Control You |
Part 1
Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:
ü Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.
ü Build study habits that are essential in college.
ü Prepare for your classes.
ü Get a sense of progress.
Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.
Set the Mood
Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator.)If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.
Know Where to Begin
Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.
Study at the Same Time Every Day
Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our ''
I think that this statement by Robert E. Lee is trying to say that people need to try and think about what they are doing in order to do the right thing. Sometimes people do things without even thinking about them because they feel that they don’t have to listen to what their mind is telling them to do. For example, if someone tells someone else to do something they don’t want to, but they do it either way without thinking about the consequences, they are not using they brain and they are not listening to their conscience.

Part 4
For Review
Once you've done all the above, you’ll find what you've created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main sections of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.
Stick to It
Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.
You've been doing the work all along.
Try out the Cornell system, but it doesn't work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

After Class
As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.
After you've reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.
At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you've learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for tests down the road.

How to Get Your Classes Notes into Shapes
Getting the most out of high school and collage means everything
hard and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can
help you do both. Here are the basic.
Stay Organized
It may seem obvious but your class notes can only help you if you
can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:
Keep all your notes in one place.
Date and number pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to
understand them later.
Before Class
Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly.
Bring a list of any questions you may have.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”
-
I think that this statement by Ralph Waldo is trying to say that all that matter is what you believe is the right thing to do within you. What every people tell you to do on the outside doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you think is the right thing within you.‘
What this means is that no matter how big or small is the lie it is
still a lie and while be there until you say that truth it will follow You
until you decided to say the truth simple as that

Positive Aspects of Distance Education
Ø Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.
Ø A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day. And there may or not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.
Ø Advanced and specialized class: Some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.
