Math 3 Honors Responsibilities

The first step to successfully study for any type of material is to keep the material organized and make sure the information is correct. A good routine would be to check notes periodically

Paying attention in class and listening to the teacher helps you learn what’s going to be on a final. And even though the work seems hard having concentration you will soon understand it. “Listen to your teacher and stay focused. Be sure you understand the lesson. If you don’t understand ask questions”(Page, Top 10 Skills for High-School Students).

The Honors Program student embodies the virtues of independence, academic talent, intellectual curiosity, and persistence. In a brief essay, of approximately 500 words, please tell us how your reasons for admission to the Honors Program as well as your long and short terms academic goals speak to these four virtues. In doing so, you might consider the following questions:

The first step to learning physics starts with the student and their self-discipline. The hardest part is getting a study routine to follow religiously, this will ensure no cramming will be done the night before the exam, and a better understanding of the material. Subsequently, will be reading the material before you attend lecture. Reading the material is what students most frequently slack off on. Since reading can’t be graded, and most engineers tend to stray from reading and writing as much as possible, the theory behind physics gets lost. The reading will determine the big picture of the chapter you are studying. When reading the student should search for unfamiliar words and concepts, so that in lecture the student already knows the definition and can focus on the theory and how it is applicable. Finally, the student must make sure he/she does their homework and practices example problems from the text. Steven Johnson at Bemidji State University says, doing homework will develop a routine for the specific problem. Since physics is a problem solving course there is certain to be a routine to follow, the trick is already knowing the routing before the exam. If a student has the ability to rigorously follow a routine, they can pass one of the hardest classes in

In Honors English (3rd and 5th), ask students to turn in yesterday’s assignment. They have a test on “A Problem” today, so they should log into their pearson accounts online and take the test. I will check their scores and put them in Skyward asap. Once their test is finished please have them read pages 78-79 in the literature book. Their assignment is to read “Like the Sun” (pgs 80-84) and “The Open Window” (pgs 85-88). They should be looking for instances of paradoxes and irony during each reading. They need to complete the critical thinking questions on pages 84 and 88.

1. Read - around the topics you are learning about or want to learn about and develop

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others- it’s important for students to be able to explain and be able to discuss the process into which they believe a problem should be solved this demonstrates the students understanding on the concept. They should be able to clarify and answer any questions that arise about the problem once again displaying a deeper understanding then just being able to memorize formulas/steps and solving a problem.

Another important thing is organization so you don’t lose things and keep important things in the places that they belong. I’ve learned that the hard way! I have spent a lot of time doing homework assignments, then misplaced them and was unable to turn them in. I also didn’t get 100% on my science binder since I couldn’t find some of my assignments and notes. I had a good talk with Mrs. Merolo and Fray about being organized. Mrs. Merolo helped me by giving me a folder where I could put my homework “to do” on one side and things to “turn in” on the other side. Fray taught me how to organize my assignments, quizzes, tests, bell work and notes in my binder, which has helped me to find my things when I need to study for quizzes and tests. I think I will be able to get better grades after this.

While I’m in class, I will make sure that I listen to what my instructors are saying and how they say to do something. It is also very important to take notes on what is being taught in the class, and whatever your teacher may right on the broad. In order to receive a passing grade and really pass the class I will have to complete all of my homework.

3. Take ten minutes to review your notes from every class everyday to keep your memory fresh of the materials.

attitude to learn. Students should also prepare for tests and do the homework to help

To ensure the retention of information and prepare for exams, I strongly advise you to study. Many different ways to study exist, but you

What is the most important concept that you learned in this class? Write this for a reader who is unfamiliar with the concept.

First, we mentioned study. A good student has to do study everyday. Study involves reading the textbooks, understand them, be able to explain it to others and sometimes memorize the most important concepts. As a

Besides, I have the problem to find the key points and important facts during the lectures, and I am wasting my time writing down the points which not necessary. I cannot see the overall concept which the lectures try to deliver and the important ideas. I don’t want this to be a problem for me anymore as it may affect my study and my concentration during lecture time. So I make a step to seek and think what the main concept is, and I try relating all the ideas of the course so that I can see clearly the overall picture and understand the topics that I learn. I also read the notes and make an effort to understand the lesson that will teach before going to the lecture. This helps me to give the overall idea of new topic that I will learn.
