Assignment Three
What is the amount of time necessary to pass a course( 3 credit hours)
with an A?
From the website, I have learned that you must spend 1-2 hours a day
for each course you take in order to get an “A” in class. It usually also
takes up to 6 hours per week for every subject you take. The less time
you spend studying per day or week will cost you a letter grade. For
example, if you only spend 1 hour per day or less than 6 hours per week
then your grade average will fall to a “B” and eventually if you
procrastinate your grade will fall lower. Also, people who procrastinate
eventually spend up to six hours cramming for a test will most likely fail
or get a lower grade compared to a student who studied over a longer
period of time.
How often do I spend studying for a course? Name at least three
techniques to help you prepare for a test? Currently, I have fallen
behind and I would cram for a test at least a day ahead. Unfortunately, it
hasn’t affected me that much but I could have done better if I spent
more time. For example, I should spend at least two hours per day for
each course I take in order to pass successfully and to remain relaxed
and confident.
Recently, I am improving my studying in order to improve my grades
as well as my mental focus. Unfortunately, I get bored reading materials
from lecture notes or textbooks. However, I did use techniques in high
school such as taking a sample test that I have created with questions
and answers given to me by my instructors. I used the rehearsal
technique.
I am incorporating new techniques such as highlighting important
words or text from the book or notes from the instructor. Moreover, I
use a tape recorder as a note taking technique which helps me
remember the instructor’s answer to a specific question that I may have
missed in class.
Has this assignment helped you to prepare for a test? If so, How?
Yes, I learned how time management can help you prepare for a test
by being focused and confident. I also learned about getting prepared
for a test by getting sufficient rest at night which diminishes stress.
Moreover, I would consider evaluating my reading skills due to the fact I
