Time Management Activity

How Do You Know...

What Homework to do?
They give us our homeworks on the sylubus. So I have that to fall back on. But I usually just wait until they assigned them to me and I try my best to get it done as quickly as possible.

When to Prepare for a test?
 Also on the sylubus. But they teacher mostly tell us when the test is going to be given so I study before the test when my teachers tells us that a test is going to be given.

What classes to attend?
I used to look at my schedule every morning before heading to class to see what room I was going tobe in for that day. But now I remember where I go everyday.

What intructor conferences to go to?
They usually just tell us the day off soo if I have time ill go but if not then I dont.

How do you track what you need to do in other roles, suchs as your social or work life?
I dont track my social life I wait until people remind me of an event if I forget I dont go. And for work life I would remember my days and made sure I was ontime.

Guide To Studying

I Would commit to:

Before Class:
Prepare yourselfbefore class be reading the chapter. EVEN if you dont understand all of it, read through the materail and write down questions about matrial you dont understand.

During Class:
Slow Down and read the matrial carefully

After Class:
Practice the problem in your own text or study guide and then practice them again, and again, and again until they become second nature.

How Prepared was I on the Exam?

1.What logical conclusion about my stdying habits and test taking can I draw as a result of this analysis/class discussion?

One logical conclusion I discovered about my studying and testtaking habits were that I need to take more time out of my day to study and I need to find a new and affective way of studying that works for me. And I feel that once I get that I would be a much better test taking.

2.What changed can I make to improve my exam performance before the next exam?

A change I can make to improve exam performance before the next exam can be to be more focus and better prepared. I would have to changed my studying habits by be more involved in that. I also need to take the Exams more seriously and again stay focus.

What did I learn about Personal Responsibility?

What I learned about personal responsibility is that I have to take actions on my own. They are gonna be times that your professor see you doing your work and makingan effort but that doesnt mean you have to slack off and except them to give you a break. You have to be responsible with your action and alway be positive with the chocies you make. In the long run it would be the best thing you make. Always stay true to yourself and dont let other people make chocies for you.
