What Are You Learning In College?

Introduction

Studentship is an important period in every day’s life of common people. In fact, becoming a student is a very complicated period in the life of every person. The main difficulty comes as a result of the fact that many students prove to be not prepared for the adult life. Many adult students arrive at the university with the idea that they know everything about this life. Students mistakenly think that the experience they had at school, at home, at work, and at community is enough to help them work successfully within the organization. They pay little attention to the subjects that are traditionally studies at the university. Many of the offers give students the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit for further learning. The other thing students actually lack is the college-level conceptual understanding of what they know. In many cases, problems like this hamper students from achieving positive results during their study period. In this paper I will try to review the main issues that are concerned with the major problems students may encounter in the process of their studying in college.  

The issues discussed in this paper will include the following: time management, study and comprehension skills

Time management This is the primary importance issues for a number of students. The problem becomes evident within the first few days of starting college. During this time the students quickly learn the way in which their skills can be managed. In the case described, the presence of strong time management skills can make all the difference. The second recommendation is to write everything. The students are recommended to put down their schedule. Students are recommended to plan all the activities including the mirror activities such as the need to call their parents. The crazier your schedule gets, the more important becomes the issue of proper scheduling.

• Schedule time to relax It is strongly recommended not to forget to schedule in time to relax and breathe. This is usually done just because a person’s calendar goes from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• Keep trying new systems In the case a person’s cell phone calendar is big in size, it is strongly recommended to buy a special paper. In case a person’s paper keeps getting torn, it is strongly recommended to buy PDA. If a person has enough things written down each day, it is means that there is enough space for color-coding. Eventually it means that many students are able to accomplish their programs without some kind of calendaring system.

The other important things include the following:

• making allowance for flexibility
• planning events head

                                            Study and comprehension skills

Reading Comprehension is one important thing to be acquired in the process of work. The strategy can be used to find the main idea in each paragraph of a reading assignment. The use of the strategy is very helpful in comprehending the information that has been contained in your assignment. The reading of the entire paragraph is important while getting the idea of what the paragraph is about. In this case it is rather helpful to whisper the words that once have been pronounced. The knowledge of the above mentioned material can help to examine, decide and put down all the needed information.

College can be regarded as a way to acquire skills that would enable the students to achieve their goals. For the majority of students entering the college can be regarded as a goal in itself. It has been estimated that students need certain time to sit down and figure out what their next goals would be.

Students are projected to achieve a number of short-term and long-term goals. As for a college student, there are a number of short-term goals that can be attained on the basis of a certain GPA that is usually achieved at the end of the semester. That is why I strongly recommend the students to get involved in a club or organization, or to turn in all assignments on time. The goals mentioned above can be classified as long-term goals. These may include gaining an internship, starting a new club or organization. The engagement in the above mentioned activities may help the students grow up as the people who are able to meet their goals.

                                                               Conclusion

In this essay I made attempt to group and summarize the main problematic issues that might be encountered by the students while entering the university. The discussion of these problems is very important due to the following reasons: (1) the problem is a wide spread one; (2) a good advice may change the things for better. The issues discussed included the need of proper time management schedule. The other issues that are discussed include the issue of study and comprehension  and the need to achieve goals.
