The first two chapters of “What the Best College Students Do” cover several topics. Throughout the chapters, the lives and experiences of different college students are explored. A reoccurring theme in the book is the concept of learning styles. Essentially, the three learning styles are memorization, comprehension, and strategy.

The leadership team discussed specific outcomes that they want accomplish, taking into consideration the issues they want to address. After careful deliberation, they decided that they wanted to create a process of implementation with a feedback loop in which teachers and staff discuss each lesson. Documentation would be written down of what worked and what did not work and modifications could be done for the upcoming lessons. This could be accomplished by setting time for staff to meet and discuss lesson implementation, areas of strength and weakness. After discussion the staff would discuss and change the lesson plans to meet the needs of classroom. By crating this process of implementation staff can course correct

Learning Methods Course. Tuckman and Kennedy (2011) compared a group of 702 freshman college students at a large mid-western university: half of the students took a learning methods course, and half of the students did not take the course. The purpose of the course was to assist students with increasing accountability, self-esteem, learning modality, readiness skills, and managing their personal responsibilities. Data from the study concluded that students who completed the methods course had a higher rate of persistence towards academic achievement, and graduated at a higher rate than the students who did not take the course. Moreover, the occurrence of graduating was 50% greater for those students who were experiencing academic difficulty. For this
Determination is another key to being successful in college because having something in mind will make you want to accomplish it. For example, in college you want to get all A’s through the semester, that’s one selves determination to get those A’s at the end of the semester. One will have to put their full effort in every class to get their goal reached. In the article True Grit by Angela Lee Duckworth and Lauren Eskreis-Winkler there is an example of “finalists in the Scripps National Bee, we found that grittier children completed more hours of deliberate practice, operationalized as the study and memorization of word spellings and word roots in solitude” (20). For these spelling bee participants their determination was to spell the word correctly and winning. They spent hours of studying to be prepared for the National Spelling Bee contest. A college student should have a determination set so through the semester they can step by step get it accomplish from “I can’t do it” up to “Yes, I did

In the article Aims, Goals and Objectives, Nel Noddings states that “Aims are used not only to derive goals and objectives but also to evaluate them.” (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007). She also believes that educational aims should be directed towards making the lives of everyone full and satisfying as opposed to changing all people into members of the educational elite (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007). Reflecting on these points has brought up a facet of the aims argument that I had not previously considered and has helped me identify areas for improvement in my teaching career. In the paragraphs that follow, I will first provide a summary of the article that details the author’s main ideas and key points and then I
The first step of success is organization.Organization is a very important part of the process leading to success. Therefore, without it you cannot achieve anything. You have to organize your life. By organizing your life it means that you know what you want, you do not get distracted, you have good relations with everybody. This part is very important in the organization step because if you do not have an organize and stable life, it will affect your education. For example, I have a friend who failed his exam because of the problems he had with his girlfriend. After that failure, he decided to forget all and focus on his studies. He got better and passed his exam. The second part of the organization step is the planning. To succeed, you have to have a good use of your time, make sure you do everything you have to do and do not forget anything. For that, you have
