What is the best way to study for the first time?
The Best Way to Study:
· Set a specific time each day to work on your homework and studying. Treat it like a job, and just go do it.
· Keep good notes -- see the Related Questions if you need help with that. Your notes are the best thing to study.
· Read over the textbook -- just look at the bold headings and see if you can explain to yourself what information each one explains.
· Turn each heading in your notes (or textbook) into a question and see if you can answer it.
· Make a Study Deck -- see the Related Question to see how!
What is the relevance of using SQ3R or PQ4r as an effective tool for reading?
Any technique you use to help you understand what you're reading is a good and relevant plan! Either of these methods requires you to think about what you're reading, and that helps you understand it better.
What type of brainstorming is the most effective in generating new ideas?
Any type of brainstorming will be successful in generating new ideas. You often get more varied results with group brainstorming, however, because everyone brings their own unique take on the matter at hand. Individual brainstorming can be just as effective if you allow your mind to really wander around and come up with wild notions.
How do you increase your memory?
Here are some ideas:
- Make sure you are eating and sleeping well. It is hard to remember things when you are exhausted and malnourished.
- Get memory enhancing supplements from your local vitamin shop. Ginkgo Biloba, fish oil, L-Carnitine, and choline are some of the products available.
- Use your memory more. The brain is much like a muscle, and the more you use it, the better it becomes.
- Build your self-confidence and particularly confidence in your memory. Part of your ability to remember it dependent on your ability to trust it. If you don't think you can learn or remember something, chances are, you won't.
- Memory tricks (mnemonics) can help you to remember things that are difficult to remember.
Here are some common mnemonics tricks:
If you cannot remember a person's name, find a way to connect their name to something about them. You may have to slur their name to make it fit. For instance, if a lady's name is Veronica and she has a sunny disposition, you might remember that she is "Very Nice," and that is only 2 letters different from Veronica. Or if her name is Helen, and she has red hair (or at least a nasty disposition), you could associate her with Hell. The main risk is accidentally blurting out your reminder word.
If you are giving a speech and need to remember your outline, then make up a sentence using the first letter of each of your main points. The sentence will be easier to remember than your list of points. This can also help where you have to remember ordered lists
A number of hard to remember facts have standardized mnemonics. To remember the bass clef in music, you can use "Gold Buttons Dress Fine Actors" to remember the lined notes, and "All Cars Expect Grease" to remember the spaces. Then the first ledger line above the bass clef or below the treble clef is middle C. For the treble clef, you can use "Every Good Boy Does Fine" for the lines, and "FACE" to remember the notes in the spaces.
For remembering what the colors on resistors (type of electronics component) mean, there is a sexist stanza - Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls, But Violet Gives it Willingly. That line gives the first letter of each color in order of value. Black means 0, brown is 1, red is two, continuing with orange (3), yellow (4), green (5), blue (6), violet (7), grey (8), and white (9). There are other (less offensive) mnemonics phrases for remembering resistor codes.
If you play a game where you have to remember positions around a circle, you might do better to convert the object locations to clock positions.
How can you memorize english vocabulary in an hour?
You're not going to be able to learn English in an hour, sorry.

How can you cheat homework in Kumon?
You might be able to cheat homework in Kumon by getting some of the answers from previously completed assignments.
*******************************************
Cheating homework is like cheating yourself! When in an exam, it is better to have at least tried to learn enough to answer enough questions correctly to gain a pass! If you don't gain a pass due to cheating, you have only yourself to blame!
What is the best way to avoid boredom while studying?
Take it slow and start with the hard homework first. If you are getting frustrated than ask an adult for help or do a different piece of homework. This way when you come back to that sheet of homework you will be able to look at it with fresh eyes.
How can you be a class clown without getting in trouble?
Many people think that they always have to be funny in order to make other people like them, or to distract others and themselves from their emotions. This doesn't work - always having a smart remark or a comeback line can get very annoying!
If you are using jokes and smart remarks as a way to avoid dealing with your stress and your emotions, I encourage you to try healthier ways of dealing - cognitive behavioral therapy has worked for me and for many, many people that I know personally. It helps you un-learn bad habits you have for dealing with life and learn new healthy habits instead.
There is a big difference between joking because you enjoy being a comedian and joking to distract attention from the fact that you're really miserable inside!
That said ...
Here are some tips to help you be funny at school without getting in trouble
- Don't interrupt. If you have something funny to say, be sure that you are not interrupting the teacher or another student. If your class is fairly serious, you might even raise your hand to be called upon by the teacher before you tell everyone your joke
- Watch the people around you. You can tell by facial expressions and body language if other people think you are being funny or being annoying. If you are getting a lot of frowns, groans, and people looking away, you should save the clown act for later - see below also.
- Save the funny act for later. If you are good at acting silly, horseplay, and things like funny walks or imitations, save that for lunch, recess, or other times when you have lots of free time and more people who can enjoy it. Doing something like that during class is interrupting and keeps everybody from learning.
- Try acting. Many professional comedians get their start by being funny on stage at school. Check out your drama department or acting club. Ask around to see if there is a talent show where you could try out your comedy routine. See if you can start a joke-telling contest or "who can make the silliest face" contest or anything at all to get other people involved.
- Study comedy. Professional comedians study other comedians. They do a lot of research to find out what is funny and what is not. They try out jokes a lot of different ways before they put them into their act. You can start learning about comedy now, and try out some of the things you learn at school.
Is it important to be intelligent?
It is important. Being intelligent or "smart") is not the same thing as being well-educated. You can be intelligent even if you don't go to university. Being intelligent means paying attention to the world around you, being observant, and thinking logically and creatively to solve problems.
homework exists because long ago there was a student who was miss-behaving and his teacher decided to give him a punishment. The punishment was extra work to bring home and bring it back done. today that is called homework. but homework although teachers now days think it helps you practice, it is actually bad for you and your stress. btw sry id know the name of the kid nor the teacher. ===And an extra fact just for fun is that a turtle's shell is actually part of it's skeleton! :)
What are the ways to enrich learning of the pupils?
It all really depends on the group of children you have, teaching/learning styles etc. Here are a few things off the top of my head: Finding out each child's interests and what motivates them. Goal setting - sharing and explaining results to children and parents and bringing them aboard to help each child as a team. Having high but realistic expectations - letting the children set their own expectations Reflection time - let the learning sink in Discussion - talking about issues, both planned and unplanned discussions about things that are meaningful Remembering that each child has a different style of learning and catering for that style Being enthusiastic Going for a run around outside - get the blood flowing Monitoring how the children are going - if they are getting tired or losing focus, change activity for a few minutes Letting children take responsibility for their learning and actions. Keeping to a routine, and structured timetable. Planning and learning with the children, discussing learning intentions and success criteria Not talking down to children! Talk at their level but don't belittle them.
How much do you remember from what you hear see and write?
It depends on you, and on what sort of learner you are. Some people remember more of what they see, and others what they hear or write down.
How do you write notes on types of indexes?
The question isn't entirely clear. Are you writing notes on index cards, or do you want to make notes about some sort of index? Please write a new question stating this more specifically -- if you are asking about some sort of index you need to state which index you need to write notes about.
Can colored overlays raise reading scores?
Colored overlays raise reading scores according to research and the Journal of Learning Disabilities.
The Journal of Learning Disabilities said, "After one week, those-that received the correct colored transparencies-gained an Average of 6.6 months in reading accuracy and 19.35 months in reading comprehension."
Research in the The Reading Teacher Journal said, "Using colored overlays help eliminate (light) wave-lengths before they reach the retina and the brain. As a result, visual information may be more effectively analyzed."
The American Optometric Association says that visual symptoms and distortion may be relieved by using colored overlays.
Further, research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, v2 n3 p498-515 Jul-Sep 2008, showed that ASD children who used colored overlays increased their reading speed.
How is it that people from different countries who speak the same language may still miscommunicate?
People in different areas develop different slang phrases, so that a word or phrase that means one thing in your area might mean a totally different thing somewhere else. An example in English is the word "chip" - in the US it means a thin crunchy fried potato slice, but in the UK those are called "crisps."

How do you register with an e-tutoring site?
Look for the words "Create an account" or "Register" at the top of the page on a tutoring site. It will automatically take you to the registration form where you can enter your information. Some forms may ask for more detailed information than others. If there are any special requirements, they will be stated on the registration form, and you will need to follow them.

Is there a supplement for being tired a lot that help?
The best way to NOT be tired is to get enough sleep - kids and teens need 10-12 hours every night to feel rested and be alert in class. Adults need 6-8 hours.
If you do not eat properly - if you eat lots of junk food and "energy" drinks and sodas, then you need to take a multivitamin every day. That will also give you some energy because your body needs good nutrition.
Also, be sure to exercise some every day, because being flabby and out of shape makes you tired.
