Study well tips

1.Do not be a back bencher

Serious students are always seen in the front seats where there is full concentration and no distraction. Back-benchers are labeled by the teachers as the unserious ones and trouble makers. A good student sitting at the back will be implicated by the unserious ones. Teachers focus and pay more attention to those sitting at the front.  If you are sitting at the front, a teacher can easily discover that you don’t understand what he/she is teaching by mere looking at your countenance. Students sitting at the front have access to first hand information and points made by the teachers. They also make good notes and tend to do well in examinations.

2. Class participation

You should ask questions in areas that confuse you. Students should not be shy of making contributions. It is better to say the wrong thing and to be corrected than keeping quiet thinking it is right. It is believed that anything said in public cannot be forgotten. A student working towards success should be bold to ask questions, answer questions and make contributions in class. These boost his/her morale, destroy timidity, enhance learning and enable a good teacher-student relationship.

3. Make worthy friends

The brilliant and hardworking students should be your close friends. Any friend that does not add any values to life have lesser goals and aims should be avoided. You should make friends with people that have the same goals and values as you. It is important not to miss it when it comes to the choice of friends because the choice of a friend can make or destroy one’s future.

4. Personal care and Hygiene

Students should cultivate the habit of eating well and drinking water. Balanced food with lots of fruits should be taken. Junks and fast foods should be reduced. It is not just all about books. Students should rest and sleep adequately. Both the body and the brain needs taken care of.  The environment should be clean and free of insects, mosquitoes, pollution and haphazard.

5. Engage in extra curriculum and social activities

Time should be given to social activities and extra school activities such as sports, birthday parties and so on. Through these activities, social interaction will be enhanced, students get to meet new friends with the same purpose, get exposed to other ways of lives and educational opportunities. This should not interfere with their studies. There should be moderation in a student’s social lives.

5 Simple Tips to Achieve Excellence

1.  Have a Strong Desire for Excellence  Passion is the first but most important step to reaching excellence. Without passion everything is done with only half heart and it will give you only half results. So unless you have a strong desire to achieve your goal, you will never be able to achieve excellence in it. 2.  Make Firm Blueprints Every long term goal you make has to be supported by a solid plan. You can’t just make a goal to win a gold medal at the Olympics and then stop. You have to follow through and break that large long term goal into smaller manageable chunks. So an example of that could be to go the gym every single day. And then you break that down to work out for 3 hours. And then break that down even more and so on. All of this should be a part of your blueprints for excellence. 3.  Believe in Yourself Self-confidence is single handedly on of the most important things you can have in your life. If you believe that...

Tips on how you can take your academic performance up one or more notches

Understand Yourself.  A big part of academic success is having the right mindset. You have to not only believe in yourself, but also know enough about yourself to know how to achieve that success. Take the time to examine your academic strengths and weaknesses and find ways to capitalize on your strengths while overcoming or minimizing your weaknesses.

Manage Your Courses.  Many students struggle academically, not because they do not have the abilities, but because they simply do not actively manage their courses.

If some of your professors are too vague on their syllabi, take the time to get the detailed information you need to better plan and exe...
