成功的策略
“Success is not a big step in the future, success is a small step taken right now.——jonathan Martensson
Make a weekly to-do list in your notebook, on your phone, on a whiteboard – anywhere!
- 每周日花30分钟复习一下教学大纲. 这周需要做什么?
- Plan a specific time to do work for each course during the times you are open. 避免在房间里工作.
- 课后作业. 每天专注于1-2门课程，而不是一次完成所有课程.
- 划掉任务，完成后再开始工作. 每周看看你的进步.
高级提示:将任务分配到每周的同一时间. 例子:
- 每周一、三进行SOC阅读
- Start your CHE lab report the same day after your lab and come back to it two days later
- 做MTH作业30-45分钟. 一周中的大部分时间.
积极复习课堂信息，提高学习效率.
- 从没有笔记开始. 每次上课后24小时内, go to a whiteboard or open a blank file on your device and start writing and drawing everything you remember from that class. 强迫自己这样做10-15分钟.
- 检查你的准确性. 用你的笔记和课堂材料看看你做对了什么, 你漏掉了什么, 需要更多细节吗?. 集中精力学习这些部分15-20分钟.
- 再测试一次自己. Erase the whiteboard or delete the file, and write what you learned from that class. 你得到了你第一次错过的作品吗?
Why this works: Forcing yourself to create information is what begins to consolidate class content from short-term memory into more durable memory. 你学得更好. The initial test identifies what you haven’t yet mastered so you can focus on those points.
Bonus: Creating content is how you will have to answer test questions, so practice it on your own after each class to lessen test anxiety and increase your grades.
把工作分开来写更好的论文和报告.
- 截止日期前一周:从你的教授那里得到反馈. 你走的方向对吗? 在开始之前找出答案.
- Plan several 30-45-minute windows to write specific parts of your paper. 例如,
- 5-5:45 p.m. 星期一:为论文写提纲.
- 5-5:45 p.m. 星期二:写论文的引言.
- Breaking up the work over several days will keep your focus and allow you to create stronger work.
- 预产期前2-3天:预约预约. 这会给你一个初稿的目标完成日期.
- 合并DWOC反馈以获得最佳最终版本.
- 展示? 实践! 不要背剧本, instead focus on keywords or points to make at different times throughout the presentation. 练习一个强有力的介绍，击中你的观点，和一个强有力的结束. 使用转换. 口头引用你的资料来源.
Plan ahead and stay on track: Review each syllabus early in the semester and add due dates to your planner. 时间表 DWOC appointments early in the semester for 2-3 days before papers and presentations are due.

它是如何工作的

Tutors are successfully returning students who have been recommended by faculty members in their major's department. Students typically tutor within their anticipated major and have earned at least a B in the courses they tutor. 一旦雇佣了, 学术支持 trains tutors in methods and best practices based on the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) standards for providing quality tutoring support to students.
学期时间表可在联合山社区 MyWCO.
从辅导中受益的步骤
- 访问 tutors at least once per week in a subject that you find most challenging. 不要等到你落后了, it may be too late to bring your grade where you need it to be within the time left in the semester.
- 准备好具体的问题. 尽你所能地研究一个问题或概念, and then ask specific questions to learn how to move forward in that problem or concept. 在导师的指导下自己练习回答问题. You’ll be better prepared to do the work alone between tutoring sessions or professor office hours.
- 计划额外的时间来学习最具挑战性的科目. 而不是感到压力或不知所措, build additional time into your schedule to work on those problems or concepts a little each day. An even better idea: do the work as soon as you can after the class – preferably the same day – when you are more likely to remember steps and details.
- 在办公时间拜访你的教授. Review with them the steps you are taking on your own to learn and apply the course material, see if you’re on the right track and ask if they have any additional suggestions to help you move forward.
