...personal responsibility shows to others the importance I place on every facet of my daily life. These can range from my ability to cope with rapid change, the importance I place on my education, and my level financial responsibility. These daily events, along with many others, require a great deal of personal responsibility. I believe that taking responsibility for my obligations not only shows others what kind of person I am, it also boosts my self-esteem and puts me at peace. Most people, including students, teachers, and others who work with deadlines know the relief that can only be felt when a large assignment or project is completed. Being responsible for my assignments, tasks, and other daily burdens rewards me with a strong sense of accomplishment, followed by peace of mind. Obtaining a college degree is undoubtedly one of the truest tests of endurance and dedication. Though most undergraduate students obtain their degree in four years, it can be completed in as little as three years. This is a prime example of benefiting from a strong sense of personal responsibility. A successful college career is the ultimate test of responsibility, consisting of strict deadlines and difficult exams with little to no supervision. There are many skills and attributes that lead to a successful college experience, but without a strong sense of personal responsibility they are completely ineffective. When considered in the context of a college career, personal responsibility means paying...

...almost certain to be based upon memory; on the other hand, those requiring classification, evaluation, contrast, etc. are likely to demand thought on the part of most students. If, however, such classification or evaluations have been made in a previous class exercise some students may easily remember the answers and, in such a case, a thought question for one student becomes a memory question for another. (Monroe, 1923) Hence, the academic performance of a student mostly depend on his/her evaluation in exam. Students excel on either one of the two types or both. But oftentimes, examinees encounter problems in answering either one of the said types. Competitive/ Objectives exams are very much different than the board exams. As a result success in competitive exams requires a different approach .In fact there are many toppers of different boards who fail to perform well in competitive exams. Let us analyse that how the competitive exams are different from board exams. In board exams knowing the facts, concepts is sufficient but in...

...study skills are necessary for a college student to excel academically. The student must develop these skills in order to retain information learned in the present for their future benefit. Study skills can be a combination of several techniques, including time management, note-taking, self-testing, and test-wiseness, to name a few. There is no one best way to study, therefore, techniques can be tailored to the needs of the student to achieve the most optimal result. However, diagnostic testing is also available to assist students in assessing their weaknesses in their learning behaviors and study habits. Research has shown that effective study skills lead to improved academic performance. The habits that students develop during their college years will remain with them long after graduation and will be reflected in their performance in the workforce. This paper will provide insight into the different techniques that improve study skills, and in turn, improve academic performance. The Merriam – Webster Dictionary defines the word study as "the application of the mental faculties to the acquisition of knowledge, which can be in a particular field or to a specific subject." The dictionary then defines skill as "the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance." A rather general combination of the two terms would yield, "learning and motivational strategies considered essential in being successful in college" (Tuckman, 2003 page). A more in...
