The first quarter has officially concluded. Hopefully, the student base has survived without too much hardship so far, but if anyone has had trouble, don’t fret. Many chances still exist to excel this second quarter, and these tips will help.
The asynchronous day has been a bit of a confusing new development for many people. While the actual workload mostly depends on the teacher, try to at least spend thirty minutes on each class during that day. Even if no work actually gets assigned, studying and reinforcing concepts has never been a bad idea, and it still results in less work than the average day. If a class requires more time, students can still take advantage of the rest of the day off to catch up.
Pace in general has a very important effect on your educational life. This proves to be even more true with the virtual environment we’ve all been placed in. While many teachers have eased up on work restrictions and late work, keeping a consistent schedule on what work you need to have done. This will also inevitably boost your grades, as these habits will hopefully take away some of those pesky late grades you receive in your other classes.
The county doesn’t require cameras to be turned on, and many students have decided to keep them off for the duration of the last quarter. If a student struggles, turning the camera on helps students be more engaged in the class, mostly because it encourages learners to keep looking at the screen in order to keep themselves in frame. This causes students to pay more attention to the teaching, because a lot of the visual aids transmit through the screen.
Finally, if looking for help during this time of virtual learning, the entire Internet remains available. Quizlet, Khan Academy, and many other educational sites have expanded their repertoire of digital aids to help people who mostly learn through Google Meets and slideshow presentations. The expansion has been unprecedented, so try exploring those new options.
