Part 1: Having a 4.0 Lifestyle
• Get organized
• Make smart, focused friends
• Make friends who took the class
• Manage your time well
• Go somewhere else to study
• Eat healthily
• Get enough rest
• Stay sane
• Keep up your own motivation
Get organized
Get a binder and notebook for
each subject. When everything is
made easier, it's less of a task to
get your study game face on. Get
rid of old papers or assignments
unless you think you'll refer back to
them. Have your syllabus tucked
away nicely but still easily referable,
and keep a pen in there for good
measure! No clutter -- really any
area you use for studying and
being academic. If it's intimidating
to even dig through, you definitely
won't be sitting down to study.
You'll be spending all your time
looking for some things!
Make smart, focused friends
The more accurate statement would be
"make smart, focused friends 'and
make them to your advantage'." Plenty
of your friends are smart, but when's
the last time you sat down with them
and combined mental powers?
Spend your free time with them, just
watching each other study. Pick up on
their better habits. If you have a class
together, make time once a week or so
to talk about the content, not about
your teacher's accent or that hot girl or
cute guy who sits in front of you.
Sit with them in class, if you weren't
already! When your friends' hands
shoot up to answer questions, you'll be
less inclined to snooze away.
Make friends who took the class
Along with that 4.0 group you
travel with, find someone
who's taken the class already.
Lots of teachers recycle tests,
if the person has kept their old
ones, double score. It's not
cheating at all, it's being logical.
They can also tell you what the
teacher is like and what you
could expect. If you go in
knowing their tendencies and
how they operate, you'll have
that much of a leg up even
before the first class.
Manage your time well
This idea has probably been drilled into you since kindergarten. In order to squeeze
the most out of your day to study, play basketball, practice the violin, eat right, stay
hydrated and sleep (yes, those last three are important), you've gotta rock the time
management skills. But...how?
The most basic thing you can do is to create and follow a schedule. Make sure to give
weight to the stuff that requires a longer amount of time or is more thought intensive.
Having your priorities in order will make that schedule simple to figure out.
Be realistic. Saying you're going to study 8
hours a day isn't feasible. You'll burn out
and then the next day will be spent in bed
with a barrel Blue Bell. What doesn't kill you
makes you stronger, but what does kill you...
kills you.
Don't procrastinate! If you have a paper
that's due in two weeks, start now. If you
have a test coming up, study now. S.
This document provides information and examples about using conditionals in English. It discusses the first conditional, which describes likely future events, and provides examples like "If you study, you will pass the exam." It also explains that modal verbs like "may", "might", "can", "must", and "should" can be used instead of "will" in the main clause. Additionally, it covers using conditionals with time words like "when", "as soon as", "before", and "after". The document concludes with exercises for students to practice using conditionals correctly.
Elizabeth tracked how she spent her time over the course of a week to determine where her time was going. She found that she was spending on average 4.5 hours per day on "family support" activities, which was too much of her time. By analyzing her time tracking data, she was able to identify this as her "worst offender" and develop new rules to help correct it, such as not doing family support activities while her kids were at school. Time tracking provided insight into how she was using her time and allowed her to make changes to better meet her goals.
Phil Beadle's 14 steps for a perfect lesson involve identifying a technical part of the subject that is often avoided, copying the Wikipedia entry on it into the lesson plan, taking notes on it over tea, adding images and activities to a PowerPoint presentation, and considering how to engage different types of students. The goal is to create a narrative structure and make the learning physical, paired, and individual.

8th Grade Language Arts Survival Guide Gone DigitalHeather Sanders
This document outlines the rules, procedures, and expectations for an 8th grade language arts class. It discusses the weekly vocabulary lessons, major assignments like research projects, and classroom policies around entering the room, notebooks, headings, make-up work, late work, and extra credit. The teacher emphasizes respect, kindness, learning as much as possible, and having fun, within the guidelines of following instructions and authority.
Students often consider homework as pain as they have already spent several hours studying at the college. Homework becomes even more stressful when students are pursuing a part-time job or are supposed to help with chores at home. To escape the situation some students often ask professionals, “take my class” or to “do my homework.”
The document provides a checklist for students completing their final online task. It includes 8 items that students need to have prepared, such as relevant course materials and a reference list with over 4 quality sources on organizational culture. The checklist also addresses technology requirements and submission guidelines, noting the task is only available online on June 3 from 8-10am and must be completed then without excuses. It provides formatting guidelines that bullet points and headings are acceptable but to avoid contractions and simply mention source materials in the introduction rather than explaining them in depth. The conclusion should be at least 10% of the task length and include a brief summary and reflection on the question without recommendations or predictions unless specified.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

10 excuses for not doing your homework
1. Ten best excuses for not
doing your homework
Brought to you by tutorhub.com
the online tutoring website
2. 1. The dog ate my
homework
Hmm, perhaps not the most subtle or
workable of excuses, but if you really do
have a dog…
There may be more than a 0.0001% chance
that it could work?! If all else fails, you
could always bring a stool sample as proof…
3. 2. Homework? I don’t remember
getting any homework
You probably DO remember getting your
homework, but your teacher doesn’t know
that, right?
4. 3. Ahh, I thought it was in my bag,
but left it at home by accident
Of course you left it at home by accident!
This one is a great excuse, it’s worked a fair
few times for me, anyway…
5. 4. I didn’t understand the homework,
could you explain it to me so I can
give it a second go?
This excuse works better more for maths or
question based homework rather than
essays.
However, it’s a good way to hit two birds
with one stone (you get help on your
homework, and a deadline extension!),
especially if you actually don’t understand
the homework assignment!
6. 5. My computer crashed and I didn’t
save my work / my printer stopped
working
With more and more people using computer
based software to complete their homework,
a whole new spectrum of excuses have been
opened to the desperate, homework-lacking
student.
7. 6. I had too much homework from
(insert subject name) class to
complete the homework for you
Poor you, clearly you’ve been given way too
much homework by all your other teachers to
do this piece! A homework overload is never a
good thing.
8. 7. Oh, I think I was absent when the
homework was given out
You were obviously ill when the homework
was handed out in class, even though your
teacher is looking at your ‘tick’ of
attendance in the register!
9. 8. I’ve been given extra-curricular
activities and volunteering work
outside of school
If you’re doing any work or activities outside
of work, hey, why not use them as an excuse
for not doing your homework! It’s a pretty
believable one (especially next to excuse 1.).
10. 9. I’ve been so ill over the last few
days, I haven’t been able to do my
homework
Bed ridden, feverish and unable to
distinguish your cat from your sheet of
homework, how on earth can you be
expected to work in this state?!
11. 10. Tell the truth
After using all these excuses, perhaps it’s
time to pull out your triumph card – the
truth.
On the occasion, your teacher may
appreciate your use of the truth rather than
the usual bombardment of (unbelievable)
excuses. Use this one when you’re feeling
especially sincere (and desperate).
