Your cousin has asked you to be in their wedding next week, but you have so much schoolwork, it doesn't seem like you will have the time to prepare and attend. What is the best strategy for your success as a student?  Do a detailed analysis of where you are spending your time over the next few weeks to determine where you might cut back on non-essential activities.  Only do some of the assignments for your courses for the next few weeks so you have enough time for the wedding. You can try to get caught up afterwards.  Ask your instructor for an extension. The syllabus says that late work will not be accepted, but they probably will make an exception for you because it's your cousin's wedding.  Tell your cousin that you are very sorry, but you can't make it to the wedding because of your schoolwork is keeping you really busy. Your cousin will be mad for awhile, but they will get over it. RATIONALE You don't need to stop doing the things you love doing in order to manager your time effectively. The purpose of time management is to help you find more time in your day to do the things that matter to you. So if fun is something that really matters, you will figure out a way to eliminate time wasters and schedule time for fun. CONCEPT Time Management in Higher Education Report an issue with this question 2 You skipped this question and it was marked incorrect. A play by Shakespeare in your literature class calls for analytical reading. Which strategy can you use to ensure that you are interpreting Shakespeare's words correctly?  Take notes in class lectures, and ask your classmates.

 Skim over each paragraph quickly to get a general sense of what it's about.  Get the audio book, and listen to it in the car.  Read closely, and ask yourself questions about why the author wrote as he did. RATIONALE Reading closely means you read a section of text multiple times to look for themes, figures of speech, or repeated ideas. Once you have uncovered these things, you can ask yourself what you think the author was trying to communicate by writing this way. This is how you read analytically to gain a deeper understanding of what you read. CONCEPT Understanding the Meaning of What You Read Report an issue with this question 3 Select the best practice for note-taking in class.  Use a computer or cell phone to record the audio so you don't have to take notes and tire out your hand. That way, all you have to do is playback the audio before your final exam.  Ask a friend in the class to take notes for you. That way, you can relax more while you are in class and get some of the work done for your other classes.  Listen first, decide what is most important, then write down those things. Organize the concepts. Add your own connections, comments, and questions.  Listen first, then transcribe every word that your instructor says since it's very important to write down their exact wording. Then add your own connections, comments, and questions. RATIONALE Listening first, deciding what is most important then writing down those things, organizing the concepts, and adding your own connections, comments, and questions are best practices for note-taking.

While it's important to recognize the symptoms of these disorders so you can seek help if you identify with them, other mental health issues are also common among students.

RATIONALE The reason why your instructor assigns papers is to see if you understand the concepts you wrote about, that you can formulate a unique argument or thesis about them, and that you can organize your thoughts in a logical manner. This demonstrates to your instructor that you are thinking critically about the subject matter, and that is an indication that learning has taken place.
