14. RECOGNIZE
Do you know your wants and
needs?
Can you be more effective and
efficient with your time
management?
Can you recognize and
eliminate “time wasters”? Eat that Frog
By Brian Tracy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W7GB5Fh2XM

15. MINIMIZE/MAXIMIZE
Make a PLAN for how to:
• MINIMIZE - Remove the Time Wasters & Limit Distractions
• Distractions list
• Identify your support network – who can help?
• MAXIMIZE - Focus on must haves & motivators
• Focus on priorities
• Use a rewards system
• Use a timer
• Focus on positive thinking

16. Bring all aspects of your life
SYNTHESIZE together with school
• Look for things to combine
Make time for your health – get exercise and make it social
(workout with kids and/or friends)
Have a “homework party” with your kids or over lunch
• Extended “Found Time”
“Find time” while waiting – use the “found” 15 minutes to an
hour while waiting at the doctor’s office, at the kid’s soccer
practice, etc. to organize your “to do list” or read/study (always
have some of your school work with you)
• Involve your family & coworkers & classmates
Talk about what your upcoming assignments are during dinner
Talk to people in the break room about what you are learning,
Meet with people from your study group for coffee

21. Bloom and a Real Life Example
• Knowledge – What is it?
• Comprehension – What else is it like?
• Application – What does it do?
• Analysis – How does it work?
• Synthesis – What happens when you…?
• Evaluation – How was the quality?

22. Comprehension Tips
CREATE INTEREST
• Set Goals:
• “What is my purpose for doing this reading?”
• “What do I want to learn?”
Think aboutat lesson objectives
• Look how to best take notes
• Learn new vocabulary
• Preview the reading
• Review introductory information
USE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW
• Activate prior knowledge (schema):
“What do I know about the topic?”

23. Active Reading
Engage with
the text
Take Notes
Highlight
Use a Pacer Important
Information

24. SQ3R Textbook Study System
5 step method that was designed to help people become more active in their reading
and retain information more easily.
Survey Read intro, summary; skim headings, boldface, italicized words, charts, etc.
Question Identify your purpose for reading – assignment, paper, discussion, etc.
Read Break into sections, take notes as you read, make links back to your purpose
Recite Rewrite key information in your own words
Review Scan material; talk about it with classmate if possible; identify themes and
relationships between concepts
Research shows students who learn this system and use it conscientiously
- read 22% faster
- comprehend 10% more
- retain 80% of material.

25. Survey
Objective: To get a solid overview of what need to learn.
What it does…
Prepares your mental processing system.
Why do it?
• Be better able to concentrate with a frame of reference.
• Be better able to identify & locate important information.
Endstate…
Better understanding/comprehension/retention of material

26. Efficient Reading
Break poor reading habits
Don’t sub-vocalize (pronounce) each word in your head
Chunk words into concepts instead of reading word-by-word
Soften your eyes and force yourself to scan faster
Don’t re-read unnecessarily, use a pacer/pointer
Avoid distractions to improve your concentration
Read from top to bottom as well as left to right

• Know what you are being asked to do – “rules”
• Figure out what you need to learn/do – “content”
• Make a plan.
• Create a timeline
• Gather the materials you need to read and/or research
• Create action steps/appropriate studying strategies
• Brainstorming
• Idea lists
• Mindmaps
• Outlining

31. How do I make an
“assignment timeline” ?
• Identify the individual steps you
will need to take to complete the
assignment.

– Independent Study
• Western Civilization

34. Independent Study Assignment Example
Western Civilization I is designed to introduce the student to the
emergence of the first civilizations and the trajectory of their
development into Western society. We will examine the
contributions of Greece and Rome and how they expanded their
empires; how ideas are conceived, put into practice, and have social
consequences; how and why empires collapsed; how people and
societies existed during the Middle Ages; how numerous cultures
developed values and coexisted/clashed with others; and how a
broken Europe, after several starts, reinvigorated itself with the
Renaissance, and split again in the Reformation. Throughout the
period of study, culture, and the role of ideas, will be emphasized as
a means of analyzing and connecting the people and events that
make up the trajectory of history.
Understanding the “Problem”
Break the purpose of the course down into manageable concepts/key words.

METHOD AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
The student must demonstrate a working and analytical knowledge of the basic
concepts presented in the course. They should understand the fundamental
values and ideas necessary to establish civilization and how those concepts were
put into practice by Greece and Rome; why empires arise and fall; how social
and cultural forces interact with politics and economics; the importance of
polytheistic and monotheistic religions; the rise of Christianity; the significance
of the Middle Ages as Europe struggled with self-defense, and to keep the
knowledge of the past in existence; the emergence of the Renaissance and
Reformation – how much of that time was a recycling of history and how much
was true innovation. Students must complete the assigned readings and write
three 10-11 page papers on the topics listed below (title page and bibliography

40. Independent Study Assignment Example
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY!!!
Below are specific guidelines for essay requirements, feedback, due dates, penalties, and Incompletes.
Essay requirements:
Students will be graded on their written assignments. The papers must be typed using Times New Roman, 12 font, double-spaced, normal
margins (usually 1” on top and bottom; 1.25” on right and left), no pictures, no lengthy quotes or extra spaces between paragraphs, with
citations and bibliography. Papers must be first submitted in electronic form to turnitin.com, and then emailed as an attachment to the
Instructor. Additionally, it is very strongly recommended that students have Microsoft Word 2007, or 2010. Due dates and penalties for late
submissions are in effect (read below), and assignments only count as “turned in” when the Instructor receives the emailed attachment.
Feedback:
I have a strong preference for giving verbal feedback – that way I can explain things fully and answer any of your questions that might arise.
Ideally, we should meet in person, but if you cannot make it in, then a phone call should be arranged. If neither are possible, then you can
request some written comments. Discussing the first essay is in some ways the most important because we can work to eliminate simple
mistakes and make sure that the content addresses the essay topic.
Due dates:
The first essay is due at approximately the midpoint of the Term. The second essay is due at approximately the three-quarter point, and the
final essay is due by the end of the Term (the exact dates will be provided by the Instructor).
Penalties:
Assignments are late when the Instructor receives them via email after the due dates given out at the beginning of the Term. The penalty for
turning in late assignments is:
1-7 days late – 5-point reduction
8-14 days late – 15-point reduction
15-21 days late – 30-point reduction
Papers will not be accepted more than 21 days late and will receive 0 points. No extensions will be granted for work due by the end of the
Term. Exceptions to this policy will only be made for extreme circumstances, such as severe illness (i.e. hospitalization), death in the family,
or some other catastrophic event. In such a case, the student must inform the Instructor in a timely manner, and keep the Instructor posted
of the continuing circumstances as they pertain to the course.

For the last paper, choose one of the following topics:
A) The Renaissance transformed Europe, but did so very
differently in Northern Europe than in the region of its origin –
the Italian peninsula. Again using specific examples, discuss
the differences between the Italian Renaissance and the Northern
Renaissance. For this paper, you may choose to do a fictional
narrative – such as placing yourself as a character in the time period,
or writing a story from the third-person perspective.
B) Using examples from Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, the
Renaissance, and the Reformation, discuss how art
influenced any of the dominant ideas connected to that period,
and make every effort to connect a central theme to each.
