Getting Bad News...DON'T GIVE UP

Ok, so this week was test week. Now, you probably see what I was talking about in class. You cannot procrastinate. All these exams come at the same time. You cannot learn college level work in one day. You need to see your professors in their office hours.

Think about what we talked about the other day. What kind of learner are you? Have you found study methods that work for you? If not, try something else. Go to the tutor center, give yourself more time to study. Study in a group, work problems. Talk about what you are learning.

I hope everyone did well on their exams. I am sooooo happy for everyone that studied and did your best on every exam this week!!! But, if you didn't...please think really hard about what you can do to make improvments. You are not a lost cause at anything. You may just have to work harder than you did in high school. This is the real world.

"One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try." Aristotle

yeah...so the last bio test I was real disappointed it:( I studied every night. I typed my notes, emailed and went to professors office hours to ask questions, but I still didnt seem to have progress. I made a 69 on the first exam. Dr. Francis told me that I over analyzed, so I am hoping to do good on the next test. you make some good points, I am pretty sure I am on the right track. Maybe it was just the first test syndrome. lol!
