How do grades don't encourage students to learn?

Grades fail to encourage students to learn because if a student gets a F then they know that not learning a thing so it makes them not want to learn if they keep on getting F'sGrades are intended to encourage students to learn, and there are undoubtedly students who make an effort to learn, in the hopes of improving their grades. However, learning is about much more than grades. If a student studies only for the purpose of getting a good grade on a test, then the true purposes of education may be neglected. Once the test is passed, the information that was studied suddenly becomes irrelevant, if it is thought to have no purpose beyond passing tests.


When you do homework from 3 to 10 how can you stop stress?

Depends on how much homework you have. If your teacher gives you a butt load of homework, then YEAH. But that's very unlikely that a teacher will give you a big assignment and little time to do it. If it is a big assignment, most normal teachers give the students a couple days to complete it. The stress comes when the student procrastinates and leaves it to the last moment. THEN they get anxious, worried, and STRESSED. A normal teacher gives out 1 or 2 pages to do for homework, and an average student can do that amount of work in 30 minutes. Students who don't try and don't care will go on and on about how stressful, painful, and annoying homework is, but a respectible student will appreciate homework, because it gives them another oppertunity to learn. Sometimes, I don't understand the lesson very well, but when I go over the homework, it suddenly clicks. (NOTE: As most students know, ^^^^that is not close to true; I won't delete it because that was done to me...it's rude and childish. So here's a quick note: yes, some teachers really do give a ton of homework, and there's nothing you can do about. But you can't spend that much time on homwork or you will get stressed out. You really need to (1) manage your time, and (2) prioritize. Homework doesn't need to be perfect; do what you can get away with. Then, you will have more time for things you enjoy and the stress will go DOWN.)


What is the average time spent studying by students?

Many people feel the hours of study are the most important. However, students can study for hours on end and retain very little. The more appropriate question is, "how can students study more effectively?" Some issues students must consider are as follows.Students need to develop good time management skills. They must realize there is a time to be in class, a time for study, time for family, time to socialize, and time to just be alone. The critical issue is recognition that there must be an appropriate balance.Students should acquire a vision; A clearly articulate picture of the future they intend to create for them selves. This will promote a passion for what they wish to do. Passion is critical and leads to an intense interest, dedication, and commitment to achieving career goals and objectives.The student must choose the best study schedule, a time they feel is comfortable, and in a place where there is little distraction.The student must take notes on the subject matter and rehearse them frequently.Students should not study hours on end. One should study 30 to 45 minutes then take a short break. Eat a snack, have a cup of coffee, play with the dog, etc., then return to study. This refreshes the mind, and often issues that may have been confusing before, become suddenly clear.The student must develop good critical thinking skills, taking everything into consideration particular to the subject matter.Students must not be afraid to ask for help when they have a problem understanding the subject matter. They need to do it immediately and not after days have gone by. They should not feel apprehensive to ask a faculty member, a friend, or go to the academic learning center at the school.Thus, it is not so much a question of hard study, but how to study in smart fashion. The bottom line is that the student must take responsibility and ownership over their study habits.
