Questions about your motivation and academics

[annice22]

Can you please answer the questions and then just take a look at them to see if you need to improve on your study habits.

1. Do you think you are studying as hard as you should?

2. Are there areas where you could improve?

3. Do you feel as though your gpa represents who you are or gauge how smart you really are?

4. How do you motivate yourself to continue to study?

My answers:

1. No I don't think I am studying as hard as I should. I feel as though I put things off until the last minute and then I rush to get them done and I also feel as though I do not give enough time to my studies. There are time when I could be studying instead I'm checking my e-mail or watching TV, talking on the phone, etc. I procrastant alot.

2. Yes, I need to get better organized so that I am not forgetting about assignments. Getting better organized will give me enough time to study for test. Other areas of improvement for myself are to make sure I read my chapters in advance to make sure I do well on my test. I also could improve on my note taking skills. Turning off the TV would do alot of good too.

3. Yes and No because right now I have a culmutive gpa of 3.3 and my fall semester was 2.9. I know that I am smart I just need to push myself harder to make the good grades.

4. Prior to becoming a little "lazy" I use to motivate myself by watching my favorite TV show, buying a new magazine, relaxing, reading a new book, going out for 3 nights in a row, buying myself something nice.
