As you begin this new semester, take a few minutes to think
about what you did successfully last semester.
If you completed all of your reading assignments, acknowledge the job
well done and think about the habits you formed that helped with your
success. Did you read at a specific
time? In a specific place? If you earn high test grades, consider your
studying process. Did you review your
notes daily? Make notecards? Study with
classmates? Visit the learning center? Ask your instructor how he recommends you
study for his course? What structures did you put in place that supported your
success? Recognizing the habits or
routines that worked and considering why they worked is important so you can replicate your
success.
If this is your first
semester taking classes at CCV, consider your strengths. If you are an excellent organizer, think
about how you might translate those skills to the classroom. How do you plan to organize your notes and
papers? What time management system will
you use? How will you know your systems
are working?
Celebrate your successes and acknowledge your strengths and
know that you have the skills to be a successful student. Now go on and rock this spring semester!
