How to be an active student in the university

Being a good student has more benefits than just getting good grades. It may help you get into the college you want and maybe obtain a scholarship. This will give you some tips on how to become an excellent student.

Keep your materials and assignments organized

Staying organized in school is extremely important because if you are organized, you are one step ahead in being successful. A good way to start off is to keep a folder for each subject. By keeping a folder, it means that you put your math papers in your math folder, your Language Arts papers in your Language Arts folder, your science papers in your science folder, and so on. To make this easier, use colour codes or label your folders and place them into either your desk or backpack neatly. This way, you will have an easier time searching for your folders and will have more time to review what you have learned yesterday.

Pay attention in class and take a notes

When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes from their lecture and if you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask questions. The more questions you ask, the smarter you'll get, believe it or not. Taking notes will help you think and help you understand what is being taught more so be sure to take notes even when it is not necessary for the classroom.

Do your homework on time

Teachers give you homework for you to review what you have learned that day. Take advantage of your free time and do your homework on the way home from school and in any spare time. Do as much at school as you can so you can ask the teacher just in case you need help. Make sure not to rush on your homework and be sure to check it and make it as neat as possible. If you really want to be a successful student, you should know right from the beginning when you want to be great at anything, and when you have to put up with things that just don't seem fair. Doing your homework is not a big deal. Always remember that homework can also help you develop good studying habits and attitudes. Always do what is asked of you.

Study

It is advised to start studying at least a few days before a test. Make a study schedule and if an extracurricular activity gets in the way of your studying, tell the person in charge of that certain event that you will not be able to attend that event, or that you will have to leave earlier. However, there will be certain situations where you will have to attend. In this kind of situation, you will just have to study another day. This is where your study schedule comes in. Write out a schedule of the week of your test and find your free time. Always remember, use your time wisely. Study as if you are motivated for the outcome of your hard work. Take short breaks while studying. For example, you can take a 15-minute break every 2 hours. Don't lose your cool if you're stuck. If you are stuck, just take a break and refocus on your work when you feel "refreshed". Taking breaks can help you to work more efficiently and productively. But do not extend your breaks to longer time period.

Everyone gets bad grades once in a while; even the high level students don't achieve good marks for everything. It's not the end of the world. Just try harder next time.
