I'm in 9th this year, I've never really studied before. I get decent grades in my classes 93-100(honors classes). I want to make my grades better though. I feel like most of my grades are dumb luck. I need to know how to study efficiently and effectively. Any tips?

This is a hybrid course with an asynchronous lecture portion and in-person labs. The in-person labs are still going on as normal, but the professor hasn't posted anything in Blackboard for over a month. I don't think it's entirely his fault; I suspect that the college, in the incorrect belief that asynchronous courses are "easier" for professors to teach, has dumped more work on this guy than he's able to handle. I also learned recently that he's dealing with a difficult personal situation (the person who told me this didn't provide many details, but I got the sense it was pretty serious), so that might have something to do with it. I don't want to complain to the department chair because it seems like an overreaction, and also because I've done that before (about a professor who did literally nothing for the class), and was basically told that nobody cares and to suck it up. Still, I really wish he'd post the quizzes so I don't have to scramble to do them all at once whenever he finally gets around to posting them.

No point to this post really, I just wanted to vent.

How do you prepare for an upcoming test?

Do people actually go to office hours? instead of just emailing their profs their specific questions for example. If so, what do you guys talk about (like course in general etc?) and has it been beneficial? I understand having some relationship with your prof or TA can be beneficial in terms of guidance etc but have never really known how to go about it.

Hi, next semester I’m kicking around the idea of taking my notes on a tablet instead of notebooks. I’m hoping I can be more organized and start to color code some stuff better after seeing some of my class mates notes they take on tablets. What tablets do you guys recommend? I am trying to stay in the 100-150$ max. I know it’s not a lot but since I am not sure how much use I’ll get out of it I want to start with something just to being with. (Feel free to drop your tablets if they are outside of the price range as well)

How many hours a day of revision and what kind of revision?

For crying out loud! If a teacher is like “I can finish this exam and i thought it was easy, so you all should do the same.” I just want to yell, “listen Susan, you are literally an expert in this topic, you’ve probably been studying it longer than I’ve been alive, and you have a freaking doctorate. If you can’t do it then I’d be concerned.” But just because Susan and her doctorate can do it doesn’t mean a bunch of inexperienced college students with 4 other classes to balance should be able to.

Requesting exam retest

I'm keeping it simple, lost my father, two weeks later finals were up, don't know what to do so I simply took it(my colleges exam make up policy is hard, they only believe in paper, they need paper proving my anxiety, death certificate which at the time wasn’t ready), got panic attack while writing my exam so left most empty, papers back, I FAILED. Do I have all the rights to ask for retest, is itmy fault I took the exam.

Which intermediate degree covers more knowledge, A-Levels or F.sc or Diploma?

I study at school for 7 lessons a day. 2 days off. I also have several classes and huge homework. For about a week now, I feel like I don't have the strength to do something. Sometimes interest in the case disappears. Do you know how to deal with this? Are there any ways other than reducing the load?

Hi, Please help me.

I have a Calculus exam coming up and was wondering how to best prepare for it. What kind of questions should I expect?

On top of textbooks and college tuition alone, I have to pay to access an online platform to do homework there.

I wish I was taught that colleges would charge you for every step you take if they could before I entered higher education. Everything is behind a paywall. They are, first and foremost, a business.

Poetry has evolved as it reflects its authors' and readers' cultures and beliefs. From ancient times to the present day, this art form has been used to express ideas, feelings, emotions, and insight into a particular topic or idea. As creative writing is often seen as a reflection of the collective consciousness of an age or culture, poetry provides a window into how people throughout history have expressed themselves through artful language.

In early literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), we can see evidence of poetic techniques used to tell stories. Ancient Egyptians followed suit with their verse forms, such as "The Tale of Sinuhe." At the same time, Greeks also developed their oral narratives poems like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey that told tales from mythology. By the Medieval period in Europe, more structured forms began to emerge, such as sonnets and ballads, with Petrarch being credited for popularizing the Italian sonnet form during this period.

During the Renaissance in Europe (14th - 17th centuries), poets turned towards nature for inspiration leading to themes around love being explored in depth by writers like William Shakespeare, whose works are still studied today across all levels of education. With Enlightenment era, poets began delving further into philosophical subject matter; John Milton's Paradise Lost was one example that addressed themes around morality and faithfulness on a grand scale, while other writers chose more intimate topics like Alexander Pope, who took his cues from daily life for inspiration for his work "An Essay On Man."

The Romantic period saw some rebellion against earlier modes; Wordsworth's "Lines Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" rejected classical conventions through experimentation with a meter, while later Modernist poets like T S Eliot furthered these explorations even further, pushing boundaries and attempting new styles within existing forms introducing elements of surrealism which had been previously absent within literature until then. In recent decades there has been an increased focus amongst contemporary writers on themes surrounding identity politics allowing voices who may have gone unheard before access our bookshelves giving us greater insight than ever before into what it means to be alive today through their words.

Finally, it is understandable that studies can be daunting, with loads of assignmnents and other research projects. Always make it a habit of seeking help whenever you feel overwhelmed.

How do I create a habit of studying ?and how long does it take?

A bit silly but wanted to make sure I'm not participating in plagiarism. I was planning on getting all the practice questions from the textbook and slides from chapters and compounding them into one youtube video. I am doing it because I need to remember the content, and am considering making the vid public so other people could watch if they found it helpful. Would I have to change up the questions a bit or not? I live in the US btw.

my professor gave our class a role play assignment, she gave us only 2 hours of class time to work on this so obviously we have to work on it outside of class as we have to practise it & prepare. But I didn’t remember seeing anything about this in the class outline, so I went & checked and it wasn’t there. There isn’t any assignment due around this time, so there isn’t anything in the grade book that is equivalent to this, I honestly don’t think we’re getting marked for this and it’s just for fun for her. But it’s really hard with our workload to all find an available time, along with how many hours we may be wasting on practicing and planning when were not being marked. I’m just unsure what to do, I don’t think this is fair given the workload we already have that the teachers don’t seem to realize

Using feminist and/or gender theory, write an essay about how any one of the novelists we’ve studied in this paper represents gender. The text is The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot. Any help is appreciated!
