Why would you be able to concentrate on your homework if you listen to slow paced music?

Soft instrumental music is best for working because loud music or music with heavy beats or music with vocals makes you want to listen along and distracts you. Soft music with no vocals blends into the background and you can ignore it better

Why do you find it hard to take in information like reading important things when im revising you just forget half of it no matter how slow or hard you try?

There could be several reasons for this problem. You might be sleepy, hungry, or thirsty. You could have a learning problem or sickness of some kind. It is more likely that you are not making connections between the pieces of information. You could try figuring out the ways that the pieces of information related to each other; it might help to draw (or map) these relationships. It might help to create mnemonics for yourself: make up a song or a poem or alphabetic reminder to help yourself remember what you are learning. People have different ways of learning, and it seems that you have not quite found your most effective way -- experiment with tricks and systems to help yourself remember.

How do you get good grades without doing your homework?

It can be very hard to get a good job if you don't have good grades. The best way to approach it is to be prepared to explain why your grades were poor and to be able to present personal references from people outside of your family who know you well.

What are the cons of coeducation?

Possible disadvantages of coeducation might be in situations, such as Gym and swim classes, where students have to change apparel. This is remedied by gender-discreet facilities, i.e. separate locker-rooms. It is going out of warp to use this possible trouble zone to condemn an educational practice that has been standardized since the early years of the last century. The popular songs- both written around l902-06 (School Days) and more to the point- (East Side, West Side)- originally entitled the Sidewalks of New York.= both acknowledge that ( Boys and Girls together) was S.O.P. yet Brooklyn had some grim- armory-looking establishments with separate entrances for ( boys) and ( Girls) I can see this in (Youth Houses) but that is a correctional-penal atmosphere. The counter-argument can be made- and this was true up to when I was confirmed in l967 ( it seems like l9ll!) Sunday School and other religious classes above about the third grade- were gender discrete. It can be argued Boys and Girls have different types of Spiritual problems, as they have different life-styles, interests in sports, shop classes, et al. I'll have to give the churchmen the benefit of the doubt here. However, Sunday schools were, as the name applies once a week, not a regular six-hour tour.

Is doing your homework state federal or a local law?

What does it mean to read a text critically?

Reading critically means reading with your brain turned on. Think about what you're reading and make sure you understand what it says. Ask yourself questions about the text, such as "What did that section tell me?" or "What did I learn from this part?" If you're reading a textbook, you can also use the headings and subheadings as questions, then read the section to answer the questions.

How do you memorize long answers?

I don't, I make a mental model. When I need it, I run the mental model and automatically "see" the full answer.

I know this is hard for most people to understand, I don't know myself how I am able to do it and most others can't. If you have never "watched" one of these models run, you probably couldn't believe anything could look like that (software models are especially surreal and abstractly colored).

How can creative thinking in groups be enhanced?

What are easy ways to remember allusion?

An allusion is an indirect or passing reference, a way to call something to mind without stating it directly. The success of an allusion depends on the audience "getting it," so you might think about "ALL-U" getting the reference to remind you that an allusion isn't immediately understood.

You might also remember that "ALL Understand" an allusion or even "ALL" don't get it. Any way you can remember ALLusion instead of ILLusion would help you remember the word.

To remember the definition, you could also think of Anti-direct or Anti-statement so you'll think of it being an indirect statement.

What is flunk?

What is the meaning of 'here you are'?

When you hand something to a person, you might say "here you are," meaning "here is the item you need or want."

If you say "here you are" when you see a person, you mean "Aha, I wondered where you are and now I see that you are here."

Is it better to learn inside or outside?

Learning inside or outside has its pros and cons depending on the subject to be learned. Because of the broad range of subjects you could learn or study, this is a very general question that can only be answered broadly.

If the subject requires an outdoor item or an outdoor environment, unless it can be simulated in an indoor area, the subject should be learned outside. Some teachers opt to occasionally teach a lesson outside because of the fresh air and open area, which is believed to clear the minds of their students.

If the subject requires an item that should be kept indoors or should logically not be taught outside because of whether conditions or the actual nature of the subject, the subject should be taught inside.

If the subject can be taught inside or outside, there's no right or wrong; Teaching outdoors is believed to give people a fresh sense of thinking, but the indoors offer tools (like a computer or air conditioning) that can help with learning. This should be a judgment call. If you are learning the subject with multiple people, it may help to cast a vote.

How can you memorize 20 pages per hour?

That's an enormous amount of memorization. You'd really have to concentrate, and I'm not sure it's humanly possible. You'd have to use a lot of mnemonic tricks - the only way I can see to memorize that much at a time would be to have a "photographic" memory already.

Why study fiction when it is not real?

What fiction are you reading that you would miss the very real point of fiction? Have you never read Les Miserables? For those who have, Jean Val Jean is very real and even more iconic. Have you never read A Catcher in the Rye? Holden Caufield is fiction but the conflicts and struggles he endeavored to overcome were very real, and because anyone, especially adolescent boys, who have had similar struggles will find Holden's circumstance very real. Have you never read Atlas Shrugged? Do you have no idea who is John Galt? Even Stephen King, while in his most ardent "I must make a buck as quickly as possible" mode, still manages to create characters who are identifiable and therefore real to the reader. It is not just the characters these writers create that are important. It is in the way a writer will turn a phrase that can grab you by the throat and demand you pay attention. Demand you think about what was just said.

William Shakespeare would take historical figures and then create fictional stories that revolve around them, not because of any legal ramifications, not to avoid law suits, but because the historical figure suited Shakespeare's premise and it is the premise of the story that matters. McBeth was a very real historical figure, Shakespeare story used McBeth to argue that unchecked ambition leads to tragic ends. Richard III was far more benign in historical accounts than the one Shakespeare wrote of because the Bard was less interested in historical facts and still just as interested in the fact that unchecked ambition is a dangerous road to take. When Shakespeare's Richard faces his tragic defeat all he had worked to achieve, all he had hoped to gain was reduced to this: "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"

That is powerful stuff, and historians rarely achieve the philosophical nature found in Shakespeare, and rarely offer the lessons found in Shakespeare. Read away thou errant questioner! Read the words that strive to tell the tales of greed and avarice and lusty bargains as they are infinitely more illuminating than memorizing dates to epochs and eras.
