Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement


“Continous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”
-Liane Cordes

The effort you put into something oversees anything else. Yes your intelligence and strength will help in some situations, but your effort is what will push you to succeed. If you are preparing for an AP test, yes your intelligence will be helpful and important but if you do not have the effort to study, to review to push yourself to go the extra mile, what good is your intelligence? Continuous effort will help you meet your goals.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement
“When an archer misses the amrk, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim improve yourself.”
-Gilbert Arland

Accept your mistakes. Always look at yourself and see what you can do to improve yourself. What you can do to reach your goal. In basketball when you take a shot and you miss, its not the fault of the hoop, but yours. Maybe you could have bent your knees a little more or used your wrist more. Look at the mistakes you made accept them and improve them.

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You? Part3


Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 3

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education
·       Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences – but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.
·       Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own [program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.
·       The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.
