It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you'll be required to do lots of reading. You'll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps make assignments is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read the tittle, heading and subtitle.

·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·       Look at charts, graphs, picture, maps, and other visual materials.

·       Read captions.

·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Never

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of you know to be evil."

Ayn Rand

Reflection: I think this quote means that it should be justice done by doing whats right, but never judge those who do whats wrong, because instead you can correct them by showing them what is doing the right thing, or talking to them about how it feels to do what is right.

5 Tips for Success

Tip 5: Keep a List Of Questions
When you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book.. and a pen.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John Wooden

Reflection:  I think this quote means you should work your heart out every time you have practice because with all the practice you get you are able to build memory muscle and that help you apply it to the game and that is what john wooden was able to do with his team.
