Hey there, Did you start teaching a 15/16 week course about a month ago? This is probably a good week to do a little syllabus review. Some folks do a quiz like the one linked here. I just ask students to break it out and have a discussion about the course's objectives and requirements. Either way, it's cool to take a gander at the syllabus again. Next month, I'll do a mid-semester survey to assess my teaching effectiveness. It'll help with that final one coming at the end of the semester. https://lnkd.in/eG9mhU5K

SHOW UP. That is the word for the day. If you are a student, show up in class and be intentional about your academics. If you are working, show up at work or your place of business. It is the little daily efforts that yields result in the long run. If you are an undergraduate, I have put together a resource to help you improve your grades.

During my parents' teacher meeting, instead of just giving marks, they provided the marks list for all the 10th-grade students😂. My name was not on the first, second, or third page, and I was on the last page with the bottom 10 students. Although I didn't care much, everyone around me—my parents, teachers, and relatives—made me feel extremely anxious. They warned me that with only three months left before the public exams, I might not even pass or get into a good group for 11th grade. I took their warnings seriously and focused on my studies. Despite this, I couldn’t complete even five lessons in one subject within the first month. Knowing that completing the entire syllabus was unrealistic, I decided to analyze past question papers instead. I collected five years' worth of question papers and spent a month studying their patterns rather than the textbooks. I identified recurring questions and started writing them out for each subject. With just 30 days left, I created a study timetable for myself. I stuck to it and, in less than a month, I scored 441 out of 500. What I’m trying to say is that more than hard work, it’s crucial to put effort into planning and researching. By doing so, you will automatically achieve your goals........... #EffectivePlanning #StrategicStudy #ExamSuccess #HardWorkPaysOff #TimeManagement #GoalAchievement #AcademicRecovery #StudySmart #Resilience #SuccessStory

Topic: What would college be like in survival mode? I am running a series of “Quick Questions” to assist undergraduate students. My answers are born of my experiences and are not the “end all, be all” but a good jumping off point. I would like to invite higher education professionals and students to chime in with more advice, or personal stories. The videos are not all-inclusive, because we all know there is no such thing as a “quick question” in advising, and I wanted the videos to be under 3 minutes in length. I am also running a 5-Challenge titled: ACADEMIC ALIGNMENT: Get your ducks in a row! The challenge will begin on August 11 - 15 and is the perfect opportunity to get your college juices flowing again, just in time for fall start! The challenge will run at 8am (MDT) daily and we will follow-up with an open discussion each evening at 8pm (MDT). Sign up here! Even if you can’t make it live, sign up to receive the replays and the worksheets!  ACADEMIC ALIGNMENT: Get your ducks in a row! https://lnkd.in/eTXQ6Buj
