Do I have to do my homework?
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that homework is a way for you
to review what you have learned and to help you "know it" and to "make it
your own." There are many ways to do this. After you have written your
homework then comes the time for studying. You may want to use the index
cards to review the terms, the people, and the concepts that you are
studying.
Make two piles of cards the cards you know and the cards you are having
difficulty with. Study the ones that you are having more difficulty with.
You
may choose to have someone quiz you. You may want to make up a test for
yourself and test how much you know. You might want to draw pictures and
then
with the drawing in hand give the narrative based on the picture you drew.
What do I need to bring to class each day.
Each day you are to bring your textbook, floppy binder, pencil case with
your homework index cards, pen, pencil, and paper to class.
If I study after I do my written homework will I know it for the test?
This all depends on the student. Some students will know the work after
studying for a short amount of time. Some students will need a longer period
of time to study. The key is to know yourself as a student. You get to know
how you study best by doing it. After you find what works for you then
continue to using those methods. In order for you to remember, understand
and
truly comprehend the material you might have to study and go away and do
other things and come back and study again. It all depends on the person.
How long do I need to study each night?
Each student is unique in how much time they need to study. Some students
need one session of study and other students need several sessions of study
with breaks in-between. It is important for each student to get to know what
works for them.
