Student Success Statement 

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

- Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: In order for the ship to travel it needs a rudder. If a person does not have a rudder ( goal ) it wont travel far. Meaning you wont go nowhere in life. 

Example : Doctors , lawyers , nurses etc. Had goals when they were young . there goals were to become someone big in life, so they did.

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·         Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·         Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·         Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·         Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends.

Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many?

 Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, its easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get of track.

Who ? 

Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teachers questions. Include someone who understand the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who dosnt understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where ? 

Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes.

How long?

 Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.

When? 

Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each Person brings different strength . Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. Its more fun to study with others; the give –and-take makes it more interesting.

Do the Reading.

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned---you're expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest--- chapter, subsections or even paragraphs,

·         Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material ; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting--- this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
