Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog!!
Today, I'm going to teach you how you can make A's as a student with ease. If you've ever wondered how your classmates or course mates make A's in their results constantly while you struggle to make even B, relax and read this article because it is just for you.
Introduction
First of all before I start, I will like to introduce myself to you guys! My name is Ike Ifeanyi Franklin, a first class graduate of computer science and informatics. I'm into software engineering, data analysis, research works, and article writing. What I'm about to share with you is exactly what I did to achieve my honor during my undergraduate studies. I urge you to follow along with this tutorial so that you won't miss any bit of the information. Alright, having said much, let's dive in...
How do I make A's?
I know this question may be one of the questions you're asking yourself now, lol... don't worry I have answers to that question!!!
Making A's is not that difficult as you think in any educational settings. People has been making A's before now, and they don't have two heads, they have one head as you. So now, another question is what do they do different?
They do something different you're not going. You just have to discover it and follow along. I will reveal substantial part of these things they do to you in the steps below:👇🏻👇
-
Have Grit and Growth mindset: The truth is, before you can start making A's in school, you have to develop passion for reading and learning. You won't make A's if you don't love reading and learning. Grit and growth mindset are both concepts related to personal development and achieving success. While they are distinct concepts, they share common elements and can often complement each other.
What is Grit?
Grit refers to a combination of passion, perseverance, and resilience towards long-term goals. It is the ability to maintain effort and interest over an extended period despite facing obstacles, setbacks, and failures. Gritty individuals demonstrate a strong work ethic, determination, and a willingness to overcome challenges in the pursuit of their objectives. They view setbacks as temporary roadblocks and use them as opportunities for learning and growth. Grit is often associated with achieving high levels of success in various domains, including academics, sports, and professional careers.
What is Growth Mindset?
Growth mindset is a term coined by psychologist Carol Dweck to describe the belief that one's abilities and intelligence can be developed and improved through effort, practice, and learning. Individuals with a growth mindset embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see failures as opportunities for growth. They believe that their talents and skills are not fixed traits but can be cultivated through dedication and a willingness to learn. This mindset fosters a love for learning, resilience, and a belief in the power of effort to achieve success.
Grit and Growth mindset are the very first things you need to develop before you can think of making A's in school. Your mates that are successful in school have long developed this passion and perseverance to thrive in the midst of adversities together with their efforts. Thanks you discovered it today! -
Normalize taking down notes in class: It may be easier to understand something in class but also easier for you to forget if you don't take down notes. I have heard some of my friends say that they evenly understand things while the lecturer or the teacher as the case may be is teaching in the classroom. It may be true, but I bet you, if you don't take notes down, you're likely prone to forget so easily before 3 days.
-
Ask questions: Yes! asking questions in class cannot be overlooked. They play a vital role in your academic success. I bet you that anything you asked in question and got explanation for that, you're not forgetting it anytime soon. If you have the phobia of asking question in class directly to the lecturer, you can do that after class to your classmate or course mate. This is tested and confirmed! It works... When I was still a student, I don't ask question in class but rather I ask my fellow student who understands it more, and I must tell you solemnly - that is the one I understand easily, and it is long lasting than the lecturers own.
-
Visit the Library always: Library are so valuable that they provide you with handful of textbooks that are very costly for you to afford. Don't underestimate the power of going to library often. Library is also a quiet place that is conducive for you to ready and study. Leverage on the free textbooks inside the library and grab the information while you still have the time. According to the author of this article, "Students that go to library tends to perform well in class than students that do not". My advice to you today is to change your culture from not visiting the library to visiting the library. Do this and you won't regret it!
-
Read your books always to keep refreshing your memory: Don't just relax, keep reading the concepts you learned in class over and over again. Go to night class and form a reading group. Select your friends who will impact in your academic life positively. Abstain from bad friends who doesn't have value for education. The truth is that some people didn't come to learn, they came to flex life and deceive others. They want to explore the four walls of the university. Don't follow such people. Discover them on time and avoid them! Go for those students with the same interest as you. You won't regret it!!!
-
Attend tutorials or private lessons: This is very helpful in your academic career. Tutorials will help break concepts down for you, concepts you were finding difficult to understand in class. Using myself as a case study; I attended tutorials alot and that impacted my result positively.
Finally: Prepare yourself always for tests and exams. Memorize on what you've read so far to ensure total remembrance on the information contained in your brain. Write fast in test or exams to beat time. Always write something in exams, don't ever submit a blank sheet. Submitting a blank will even make things worse for you because even when the lecturer tries to help you, he/she won't find a reason to do that.
I believe and hoped that you read this article to the end, if you did, Congratulations!!! Please endeavor to read it again and again to assimilate every information you can hold onto. Thanks and God bless you!
