SURVIVAL SKILLS

1.) COME TO CLASS REGULARLY

Missing classes causes students to fall behind on information needed to perform successfully on exams.
2.) PAY ATTENTION DURING CLASS
Class time is for learning (not socializing with friends).
3.) TAKE NOTES WRITTEN ON THE BOARD
Test questions are taken from information written on the board.
4.) ASK QUESTIONS WHEN CLARIFICATION IS NEEDED
Most of the students earning an "A" in my class understand the information during the class and go home to review.  Students who struggle try to go home and learn the information.
5.) STUDY 20-MINUTES EVERY NIGHT
Letting information pile up only adds to confusion and stress.
6.) TAKE TESTS ON TEST DAY
Skipping exams due to a lack of being prepared only postpones the maturation of the student in taking responsibility for their procrastination.
7.) KEEP UP-TO-DATE SCIENCE FOLDER
All graded tests, quizzes, labs and homework needs to be corrected immediately after returned and placed in the folder to be kept at home until the end of the semester.
