Improving Academic Performance

Hi everybody
We have given a text about Improving Academic Performance which I believe it is very useful especially for those how think they have problems in concentration or they do not know how to study. If you haven’t red that yet, make sure you do; it was interesting. I gave the right answers to the questions at the beginning of the text; so I may already have had the necessary skills.
Anyway, I red it and it was an easy to understand text. The 4 main points that it discussed was, study habits, reading skills, getting more out of lectures and memory principals. Form the points that have been mentioned in the first one, I just don’t write the time table down. I managed my works when I have them, weakly. I don’t like to write, so I have them in mined. The rest are the things that I usually do so I don’t have any problem.
If you have gone through the documents, you should have seen that in the Appling Memory Principles section were so many good ways in order to memorize and remember some thing. I am sure that everyone practices at list one of those ways, except a few of them such as, Rhymes. I think since our first language in not English, we are not familiar with many of these old tricks so it may not be practical for us.

Good Luck

Hi Ayrin,

You wrote a nice reflective blog on the text. I hope you take something away from it. Sometimes students biggest problems are that they just don't know how to study. Weird, but true!
