Back to School # 1

Sixty Second Post: Back to School # 1

This month is back to school so I will give a few tips on my personal experience and what I have learned from high school and college.

The first tip is one many students learn the hard way and must cram all the lessons into one night before finals. Doing that isn’t fun. It is very stressful, and it is impossible to cover all the information. So what should a student do? The answer is simple but takes some discipline. The student must keep a “running knowledge.”

Running knowledge means that instead of waiting a week before a cumulative final to study, the student studies in little segments after class and completes the assignments. Basically instead of trying to learn the information in a week, it is learned around an hour each day.

This seems like simple information, but it is surprising how many students don’t do it. In order to master the subject and get high grades this must be done. So instead of “party now study latter,” it is “study, study, study.” And maybe do some partying when the student is done studying. (Sort of like when Dexter from the cartoon “Dexter’s Laboratory” went to college. That is where the last two quotes are excerpt from.)
