I believe what Jackie McConnell did was just wrong he had to abuse his horses and put them on medication just so he can win the competition that is just so wrong,he has to do such a thing to win what a sore loser. He Deserves to be sued for what he did and big time because he dosen't deserve to win the medal.

 My strategies for written assignments: everyone has their own writing styles. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later I almost always find grammatical errors or phrases and sentences I just want to reword.

How I succeed in team projects: Never assume someone is doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Have regular meetings and have each member show their work, not just give you or the group their word for it.

How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects; Reality it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all the time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests on Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start Studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well and part of Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests. My overall study method; I try to break it up over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull an all nighter.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade; if I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did go wrong sometime discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next term.

Sarah’s academic success story Part 2

Sarah’s academic success story

My test study method; I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for an additional study material they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of points in the class. if I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester

My time management secret: I always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on any calendar if for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequency, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

I can and will work as part of the team as long as everyone in the team is willing to do his work. I don’t like having to pick up the stack, but I will if I know that my grades will be harmed otherwise. My greatest academic success was in my first semester when I had to write a 10-12 page research paper. It was the longest paper I had ever been assigned and I was a little scared. Also, it was the first paper where they were like, here you go, just write about something. I had to argue in favor of or against something, but it could be anything from the sky is blue to hypnotism. I wrote mine on hypnotism. I worked on this paper for weeks and weeks. Every night I would be doing research or writing. I put so much effort into this paper. It ended up being just under 12 pages but it was full on information. I turned it in and when I got it back a week or so later, I had received the first A+ of my college career. All my hard work paid off because I got the grade I deserved. I was really happy and proud of myself.

I think this is true you have to try hard and care about what you do to get a good answer or grade.

My strategies for written assignments: I try to outline before I write because otherwise I forget what I am supposed to be talking about. I try not to leave then until the last minute because then I will just goof up the work. A lot of times I just write what I feel. Teachers like your opinion and if you can find something from the reading or research that relates specifically to your life, they like it even more because it allows you to take ownership of your work. I write things that I want others to read; not things I have to write because the teacher said so.

How I succeed in team projects: Personally. I do not like working on group projects, especially ones that I worked on high school. However, when it’s required to work in a group, usually I try to lead. I like  taking  the  lead  because  then  I know that  my grade  will  be  a good one. I do well in school, I always have and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon, so when I need to work with people who maybe don’t care as much as I do, or they have more time to waste on things other than the project, I try to be in charge. That way I know that things are going to get done on time and that I am going to get a good grade. If I am working in a group of people who all want to work, then it is a different story.
