Learning Tips and Study Habits

* Have a set time for homework every day * If the child's grades are low, the bedroom should not be a distracting place - no TV, no computer hooked up to the internet, no video games - all that should be in a common area where you can easily monitor play time * Help your child with homework without doing the work for them - show them the way that problems should be done, but make it their responsibility to finish the work * Have a calendar clearly showing due dates of assignments and make sure that the child is on track * Keep in contact with teachers so that you are aware of major assignments and your child's progress * Have the child keep a homework notebook - each assignment is written in one place instead of scattered around, and you will know what is due for each class * Do not place so much pressure on the child to make all A's - so long as they are putting good effort into their work, you should allow them room not to be great students. Self-esteem is just as important as good grades!

The best way to study for any math test is to practice, practice, practice! Be sure you understand how to work those problems.

For the formulae you need to memorize, it's a good idea to make a study deck -- see the related question below -- and go through it until you remember each formula.

The average person needs to hear something twenty times before they truly learn it. To make a word part of your vocabulary, you should use it as often as you can - look for ways to use it in conversations, write it down, look for it on a sign or listen for it in conversations around you. You don't have to actually count how many times you have used it, because then you are thinking about the number and not the word!

You learn calculus fast by making sure you understand each aspect before proceeding to the next. Do not be overwhelmed when you see the big picture - just decompose it into its parts, and remember what each transformation actually means.

This means you need to understand how limits factor into the slope of a curve, and you need to understand how the reverse transformation figures into the area under a curve.

Calculus is actually easy. What usually trips us up is the underlying mathematics, geometry, trigonometry, etc. that forms the basis for everything we do with calculus. If you do not have a solid grasp of the underlying prerequisites, you will not understand the transformations that calculus performs.

Yes, there is a lot of memorization but, get the basics, and know how to combine them, and you have got it made.

You can learn about anything you want to learn about. Just look in your textbook or do a search for landforms on the internet and you'll be surprised at how much information you can learn!

There is not a good scientific study on actual test scores, but there is proof that soft instrumental music can help a person to concentrate better. Loud music, or music that has words and heavy rhythm, actually distracts a person worse than silence.

Write sentences the way you speak - just pretend you are telling this to a friend, and write down what you would say. What would you tell them about this topic? What happened in the scene? How would the cat talk about that? What did the cat see?

If you just start writing, you will be through with your assignment before you know it!

There are several avenues one could take to become a lyricist. However, courses in music composition, music theory, and poetry would be helpful.

Teachers are pretty easy to please! Honestly, they just want you to learn the material so that you will be better able to do well in your life. If you show up for class and try your best, the teacher will be pleased. It doesn't matter if you make an A or a D, so long as you try! Some of my favorite students have been the ones who barely passed - but they were there trying!

You look at the lines say them out loud while looking at them. then give the book to an adult and have them look at it while you recite it, ans see if you get it right.

Another way is writing them out over and over again.

Or break them up into parts, and either say them over and over again, or write them over and over. Then you should recite it to family/friends, and see if its right or not. When you recite it to family/friends, you should give them the script so you can see if you have memorized it or not.

the great chicgo fire started because a cow accidently bumped a lantern over and the lantern let out fire and people died and this question was answerd by an 7-year-old and I'm not lying if you think I'm lying then read it in a book because I read in a book. so that means I'm smarter than you. hahahha

There are three main learning styles: Classical Conditioning, Operant Conditioning, and Cognitive Learning.

Classical Conditioning (sometimes called Pavlovian Conditioning) was coined by Ivan Pavlov in his experiments of pairing various stimuli with behaviors. For example, one notable experiment was of making a toddler (named Little Albert) cry (unconditional response (UR)) through the banging on a piece of sheet metal with a hammer, which was the unconditional stimulus (US). At the same time, Albert was exposed to the conditional stimulus (CS) of a white mouse. As the experiment persisted, Albert was made able to cry (conditional response (CR)) by being exposed to the white mouse (CS) alone without the US. Albert had mentally "paired" the white mouse to the horrible noise of banging on metal. Additionally, Albert also generalized the conditional stimulus (white mouse), as a large lump of cotton balls could also elicit the CR of Albert's crying.

Operant Conditioning (sometimes called Skinnerian Conditioning) was coined by B.F. Skinner, who invented the Skinner box. In his experiment, rats were placed into a Skinner box (a cage with a door that could be opened from the inside if a certain lever was pressed). Food was placed outside of the door to the box. After a few minutes of the rats scurrying around, one successfully pressed the lever, opening the door and allowing the rat to eat the food (or positive reinforcement, rewarding with an object). Additionally, other concepts of Operant learning are negative reinforcement (or rewarding by taking away an unpleasant stimulus), positive punishment (punishing to reduce the occurrence of a behavior by exposing the subject to an unpleasant stimulus), and negative punishment (punishing to reduce the occurrence of the behavior by taking away a pleasant stimulus from the subject).

Cognitive learning is simply learning through memorization, like you're doing right now. Examples are learning the layout of a shopping mall through a map or studying for a test.

History is important so that you don't make the same mistakes your ancestors made! It's also important to understand your own culture and appreciate your past. And remember - anythingyou study makes you smarter!

getting a special award would be more likely to stun me than getting a homework assignment.

Complicated tasks are more easily tackled by breaking them down into components. Making a game out of everything in life will serve you well in this world, and doing homework is one task that can stand to be turned into a game. You might try doing your favorite subject (if there is one) last, after completion (and review for correction) of your not-so-favorite subjects. Also, try taking a two-minute mini-break every ten minutes. Target a classmate that does just a little better than you, and work hard to beat their results.

I would think most people would be very happy if a girl asked if she could go study. The school library is a good place to study.

The learning strategy that helps build vocabulary by connecting a word with an image is called visual learning. This method involves associating words with pictures or visual cues to enhance memory retention and understanding of new vocabulary words. By connecting words with images, learners can create stronger mental connections and recall the word more easily.
