More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organizations sponsoring it.

·         If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

·         Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·         Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·         Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

"Be always sure you're right, then go ahead." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

What this statement is saying is that you should go and do things that you know for sure are the right things to do. You first have to be certain that you are choosing the right, and once you are definitely sure, then you go on ahead and proceed with what you are going to do. An example would be that if someone offers you drugs you know that that is not right so you walk away. They may insist that you take some but you have to firmly respond that you don’t. They may want you to doubt yourself, but if you are certain that it’s wrong, then ignore them. They might call you names but it’s important that you know exactly what the right thing is in order for you to proceed.

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·         Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·         Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·         Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·         Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understandings of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemy), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.
