Study skills

plush carpet, gazing at the bright lights, I felt excitement in the building. The date was July 10, 1995, my first time stepping into a live casino. This was the beginning of my hospitality/gaming career. At the age of 21, I had no clue what my skills were or if I had a talent. Thinking to myself, " I will find multiple talents in this industry". My first night was extremely busy! Pushing my way through the crowds, exchanging money, paying jackpots and earning my own money for the first time…

attention to children's homework and began to study about the effects on that children get too much homework. Many parents are concerned about too much of homework that their children are expected to complete. Certainly, everyone knows that homework has many benefits. Homework is good for children because it helps children to review about the lessons and can also reinforce what they study in school that day lead to help them understand in lessons, develop better study habits and ready for the…

Growing up in a small town, everyone knew everyone. You cannot go to the store without running into one of your grandparent’s friends or a coworker of your parents. Before you even introduced yourself the person you were talking to already knew many details about you. Now this can get extremely annoying but nothing is as annoying as when your teachers would have set expectations for you because they had taught your older siblings that had come before you. My two older sisters were not only great…

After reading chapters eight and ten in your book "Parenting God 's Way", I agreed and opposed many of your parenting methods. I agree that you should always make sure you make God relevant in your children 's lives and when parenting. He is the number one role model they should follow and aspire to be like. In chapter eight, the first topic you touched on "Parents, The First Teacher", is very true. The baby begins its ability to hear in the second trimester, so the conversations and sounds…

I am a sophomore at Kimberly High School who is concerned about the amount of homework students are getting each night. High school students are getting too much homework which causes large amounts of stress and prevents us from spending time with family. Over the last couple years I have been getting way more than I believe is necessary. I understand that teachers give homework for learning purposes, but the amount we receive a night is concerning. With the amount of homework students get,…

First, I always make flashcards after reading chapters from books or after lectures. Even if I do not have time to study from them, simply writing out the definitions, dates, or names helps me to remember them. I use different colored cards for different chapters and subjects. For example, my occupational therapy flashcards are green and my psychology flashcards are white. I study from flashcards by having a friend hold them up to quiz me, or going through them one by one by myself. Second, I…

The debate about if schools should or shouldn’t have homework is still occurring in many schools today, well i think that schools should still have homework and here are some reasons why. Kids need academic success for good jobs, and good education in the future. Kids also benefit from learning responsibility from homework. This is also the time where parents can get involved in the child’s school work. One reason I think that schools should have homework is that kids need to have academic…

but looking back helps you realize there a lot of times is not reason for that. Another way Gateway challenged me to think was through the education and career planning assignments. I came into college already knowing what I believed I wanted to study and do for the rest of my life. The education and career planning assignments challenged me to think deeper about why it is I wanted to pursue the nursing field and what all would be expected of me over the next few years. Gateway has challenged me…

Homework can be beneficial to give students more practice on assignments given in class; therefore increasing understanding of class material. If the student uses the skills they learn in class on a daily basis, they are more likely to retain learned information. Conversely, homework can be seen as busywork that does not pertain to what is taught in class. Often it is boring material that is disregarded by the student. Homework can be especially stressful if too much of it is given on a daily…

At university, it is important to understand the lecturer’s feedback thus this skill, not only comes from Portuguese but all other subjects will hopefully prepare me more on this aspect. I will use this learning experience to help me when it comes to university, as I learnt how to integrate myself in other learning environments in…
