Academic
Success Part 2
Laura B’s Academic Success Story
In High school I was one of the good students who really didn’t
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 class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I
had a 4.0 all through high school, but I 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 books, but I began to
understand that tiny little facts were just as important as 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 readings 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, its tough because we
are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class it is 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.
