...a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.” Actress Lily Tomlin is correct. When students get home after a six-hour school day they are often overwhelmed with outrageous amounts of homework. This extra and sometimes unnecessary burden adds only anxiety to the average student leaving them a slave to their homework. This is a problem that can be alleviated with time and patience. Students are not happy with their current homework loads. Sixty-one percent of students in a recent survey concluded that they had to drop out of an activity because of their school workload (Galloway et al 2013). Obviously, homework affects students’ lives more than it should. It is not just something that a student would just finish in five to ten minutes. It takes hard work and brain dedication to finish homework at the time that it is required. One of the reasons that homework should be banned is because it is...

...ultimate root of a student’s failure to finish a homework assignment on the designated date of being due? The reality is, many if not all school goers despise the dreaded work that takes place after classes, especially when it is unnecessary and papers are continually being piled high one on top of the next. In the end of the day, the work will not become completed and many hours of the student’s time will have vanished. The act of assigning rigorous tasks to students during their pause of school restricts them from having down-time with their family and prompts the lack of enthusiasm for wanting to learn as well as frustration and dissatisfaction. Firstly, completing various assignments at home limits the period of relaxation students have to be associated with their families. In “The Case For and Against Homework”, the authors Robert Marzano and Debra Pickening provide evidence as to how "too much homework harms students’ health and family time.” The pressure of finishing a project or multiple worksheets in one night’s time causes extreme fatigue and having relations with family is unwanted after an exhausting day at school or nearly impossible to achieve. Accomplishing healthy correlations with people around the student...

...Limiting Reactant (Experiment #8) CHM 1045L Lucy Garcia Misturah Abdulkareem, Alexander Gonzalez, Oluseun Fajimolu Dr. Abuzar Kabir Purpose/Abstract The purpose of this lab was to determine the limiting reactant in a mixture of to soluble salts and the percent composition of each substance in a salt mixture. Procedure/Method First, we were to measure and record the mass of a beaker, then transfer about 1 gram of the salt mixture into the beaker, measure, and record the combined mass. Then, we had to fill a 400-ml beaker with deionized water and test it to make sure that the ph was just basic. We then combined the deionized water and salt by adding about 150ml of the deionized water to the salt mixture. We then stirred the combined mixture for about 2-3 minutes and then let it sit so that the precipitate would settle. After it settled, we covered the beaker with a watch glass and warmed it up on a hot plate at 75C for about 15 minutes, periodically stirring the solution. After 15 minutes, we removed the beaker from the heat and allowed the precipitate to settle again. While we waited for the precipitate to settle, we prepared wash water by heating up about 30 ml of deionized water at 70-80C. We then placed filter paper in a filter funnel to set up gravity for filtering. On the side, we took some of the solution’s supernatant and half-filled two test tubes using a pipet. Thereafter, we took the rest of the solution started...

...Some students would have the same study habit or may have a different one. Based on the researchers’ point of view, it depends on whether a specific study habit is effective for them. Students may use different kinds of techniques. For example, a student may study better when he/she is alone and without any distractions while some may study better if with group or if with some music. Others would learn better visually or auditory etc. These techniques or strategies may help to have an effective learning and studying. Beginning college is an exciting step toward a brighter future. Most teenagers expect it to be an exciting and fun adventure in their life, but worry about how to keep up with all those homework assignments. There are simple ways to keep up with studying and homework, but it takes dedication. It’s not really hard to keep up your grades, but you have to dedicate yourself to school and worry less about working full-time and partying. (Virginia Graces, 2008) The researchers became interested about this topic which talks about the different study habits of third year HRM students at DLSUD today.

...coat hanger to unlock your car door. Limiting the problem unnecessarily- explore and challenge the boundaries of the problem. Ex. Racing another person on foot to a location, while there taking main streets your running through fields and jumping fences. Saturation or information overload- too much information can be just as bad as not enough information. You can become overloaded with minute details and unable to sort out critical aspects of the problem. Ex. When trying to solve a word problem minute details can distract you from the actual problem. Emotional blocks Fear of risk taking- fear of making a mistake due to childhood teachings, being rewarded for doing right and punished for doing wrong. Ex. Not trying out for a sport team because you’re afraid of not making the team. Lack of appetite for chaos- problem solvers must learn to live with confusion. The best solution may seem contradictory. Ex. When solving math problems using equations, you just have to accept it. Judging rather than generating ideas- problems can stem from approaching problem with negative attitudes. Ex. When trying to learn how to do geometry you have a hard time because you keep telling yourself “it’s too hard” and “I can’t do it”. Lack of challenge- sometimes problem solvers don’t want to get started because they perceive the problem as being too trivial and easily solved. Ex. Someone who thinks they know everything may not start on homework until last minute because they think...

...Textbook Assignment Part 1 Chapter 1: First steps The Master Student Pg 54 - 56 This article talks about how to become a master student through guidance by only learning what you have experienced. Every student is already a natural learner because we learn everything new everyday without realizing it sometimes. Even being bored generates interest in anything because you can begin by asking yourself why you are even bored. This can lead to more questions and to even more answers. When huge amounts of information is being thrown at you, you could shift through all the data and organize it into different categories so you can establish the relationships between each information to help you understand what you have gather much easier. The world is full of unknown and discovering new things can help change who you are and what you do for future benefits. Willing to take the risks at challenging tasks, it may sound foolish to tackle these things but in the end you gain valuable lessons from it and can use it for the future. Being able to gather knowledge from different environments and present them in new ways to create good opportunities. When faced with a task and hardships that follow, it is good to experience that discomforting situation in order to learn how to endure it and get through with it. Nothing good comes easy. After reading this article I feel that there are so many things to do and learn that can help motivate myself to improve and grow. It is important...

...STUDY HABIT AND ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION STUDENTS OF O LEVEL AND MATRICULATION STUDENTS SESSION 1 INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study is to find out the difference between study habit and achievement motivation among O levels and matriculation students. The aim was to determine the various aspects of study habits including homework and assignments, time allocation, reading and note taking, study period procedures, concentration, written work, examination and teacher consultation and their effects on achievement motivation level among the two categories of students i.e. O - level and HSSE i.e. What are the study habits of O-Level and HSSE and their thinking’s about their live motives. Education is a nation building and globally inter-related activity that unlocks the door to modernization. It is imparted through formal, informal and non-formal ways. For this purpose,there is a need of interaction among the students, teachers and study material. Usually, educational system at the primary level follows the medium of instructions in the national language or mother tongue. In Pakistan, there are two parallel system for functioning SSC and GCE O-level. Both the systems have their own controversial arguments to stand upon. In the United Kingdom the education reforms authorized to provide Secondary Education of grammer or academic type. In 1944, the Education Act were enforced the fundamental principle of the education Act 1944, which inspired the education system...

...Abstract The quantitative study of the researchers looked into the environment-centered and time-centered study habits of graduating CIHM students of the UPHSD-Las Pinas. Data were collected using validated self-made questionnaire and were analysed statistically. With overall average of 3.19 means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer environment-centered study habits. The indicator ‘I want to have a good light’ has the highest average of 3.35 which means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer to have a good light. Similarly, with overall average of 3.18 the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer time management-centered study habits. There is very low relationship between the general weighted average of CIHM students and their study habits, and this relationship is found to be not significant. When CIHM students are grouped according to their general weighted average, results show there are no significant differences in the environment-centered study habits of CIHM students; there are also no significant differences in time management-centered study habits of CIHM students; and, in general, there are no significant differences in the study habits of CIHM students. The researchers conclude that what the CIHM students preferred in their environment when they study, namely, a comfortable chair, a good light and a right room temperature, are exactly the same things that learners would prefer to have when they study. Temperature is as important as the light. No one can study...

...INTRODUCTION There is little doubt that no two people study the same way, and it is a near certainty that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. So I decided to concentrate on working for this research because it’s very important for the readers to read this so that they have to step up in learning styles. My purpose of doing this research is to develop myself and to serve this thing as stepping stone to make a thesis and in consideration in making a book. Now I am making this just to show you how the proper process of learning is. The purpose of this research is to provide us significant ideas about real learning styles, study skills and thinking skills in analyzing some neither questions nor problems that we don’t know and to improve and enhance our memory in studying some lessons in a book. It also improves us to organize our studies, express our ideas clearly and effectively and how to communicate with others clearly and fluently. The first part of this research is focused on defining the three bodies of skills and you will know the utilization of effective language-learning strategy is. These three bodies of skills approaches us to have more experience on how to learn to be critical to success in school, considered essential for acquiring new good grades and useful for learning through out’s life. Of course this convinces us that these skills can be applied in other areas...
