Strategy and Success Blog

1) What i like best about class so far would be the atmosphere. I love how in class we always laugh and how everyone gets along.
2) My greatest disappointment so far would be some of the grades on my quizes. This has shown me that i need to prepare better.
3) When i study for tests i usually make notecards. I cant study in a loud environment so i usually study in my room with the door close. After i have been studying for a while i stop and quiz myself putting the notecards i know to one side and the notecards i dont know so well to the other side. This way i know what notecards i have to study more. I usually study straight for about 30 to 45 minutes then take a break and let my mind rest then start studying again. When we have Quizes on a story we read i make sure that i read the story slowly and make sure that i understood everything that was happening. I also pay close attention to the bold and italicized words.
4) I am a aural learner. I cannot remember things by just looking at them. It helps me best when people test me verbaly so i can hear and understand what i got wrong rather then just looking at it.
