 10 Steps To Earning Awesome Grades

When All Else Fails, Bring The Pain:

punish yourself if you didnt finish your
work ex: say you will do 25 push-ups if you
didnt finish your task.

8. Study Smarter
Know About Your Test: know how the
questions in exam will look like to
understand how to study and how to focus
on the important information rather than
study for long time all the info.
Use Spaced Repetition: summarize your
notes on studying and during revision ask
yourself questions on each part if you know
the answer so its ok, if you dont know the
answer you have to revise the information
multiple times through the month to make it
stick in your head.

9. Write Better Paper

Do a Brain Dump: Write everything you
know about the topic, Questions you
have, Points you think you might like to
cover, Outside sources youd like to
research.
Develop A Focus And Key Questions:
Develop a well-defined focus for your
paper, Come up with several guiding
questions that youd like to answer.
Conduct Better Research: Dont do too
much research just Find Sources, Make
personal copies of all sources, Take
Questions and notes, Decide if you are
done, ( during research you can use the
references at the bottom of the page in
Wikipedia ).
Write An Awful First Draft: research is
always messy its all about simply getting
 10 Steps To Earning Awesome Grades

your ideas out onto paper then edit them

Write drunk; edit sober.
Edit Ruthlessly: your first draft is really
bad so you have to do much more effort in
editing and filtering the information in order
to get great result and ask yourself Does my
paper have good narrative flow?, Do I
have a clear main idea, and does that idea
match up with the assignment?, Does
each section back up the main idea in a
meaningful way?, Is each section filled
out with detailed research?, What can be
removed or stated in a simpler, better
manner?, and dont forget to check you
spelling, grammar, sentence structure and
formatting.

10. Make Group Projects

Suck Less
Make Good Use Of The First Meeting:
Take their e-mails,telephones, Everyone
tells the group his strengths and
weaknesses, Discuss the goal of the project,
Assign initial tasks to your group members
based on their strengths.
Avoid The Bystander Effect: where
everybody says Im sure someone else will
take care of it
Make The Group Like Solution:
solution where each component should meld
perfectly with the others, Thats why your
group needs an editor. Someone should be
assigned to collect all the finished
components and integrate them nicely
together, Writing style and voice (it can be
 10 Steps To Earning Awesome Grades

different, but not drastically different, from

group member to group member),
Transitions and consistently between the
intro and outro, Other formatting
consistency, Slide layout/design, Making
sure each member shows up to presentation
day dressed at a similar level, the final
deadline for each group members
assignments should be well before the actual
due date of the project. This will also help to
prevent people from being straight-up late
with their work.
