There's no guaranteed roadmap to success in study.【小题1】The following tips are a great place to start.

·Get enough sleep

【小题2】Your ability to remember can drop by as much as 40 percent if you haven't had adequate sleep. Aim to get adequate sleep as many nights as possible, and try to keep the same sleep schedule every night, even on weekends.

·Know when you work best

【小题3】There is plenty of research indicating benefits for both nighttime studying and early morning studying, so you shouldn't feel pressured to maintain an uncomfortable schedule. As long as you are getting enough sleep and keeping up with your commitments, your schedule is up to you.

·Try the pomodoro method

The Pomodoro Technique is a focusing method that relies on short bursts of intense work and plenty of breaks. To try the technique, set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a single task. When the timer rings, take a five-minute break, then set another 25-minute timer and get back to work. After four 25-minute intervals, take a longer break. You may find that the Pomodoro Method' helps you get more done in a shorter period of time without feeling burnt out.【小题4】

There is a massive body of research that links exercise with good grades and improved learning and cognitive skills—especially if you exercise first and study second. If you don't have time to hit the gym, go for a quick walk. Fresh air and a change in environment will help you create connections and solve problems.

Benefits of Cooperative Learning

In the classroom teachers should deliberately create opportunities for students to cooperate with each other, share responsibilities, solve problems, and control conflict.

【小题1】 Cooperative learning activities require students to work together in small groups to complete a project or activity, operating as a team to help each other succeed.

You may be wondering what benefits students gain from cooperative learning. The answer is many! Cooperative learning, of course, teaches a number of social and emotional skills, but it also gives students the opportunity to learn from each other. The following skills that are developed through regular and effective cooperative learning are just a few of many.

In order for a cooperative learning group to succeed, individuals within the group need to show leadership abilities. Without this, the group cannot move forward without a teacher. Natural leaders become quickly evident in small groups, but most students don’t naturally want to lead.   【小题2】

Also, effective teamwork requires good communication and commitment. All members of a cooperative learning group have to learn to speak productively with one another to stay on track. By teaching students to share confidently, listen carefully, and speak clearly, they learn to value the input of their teammates and the quality of their work soars.

Conflicts are bound to arise in any group setting.   【小题3】 Give students space to try and work out their issues for themselves before stepping in.

There are many decisions to be made in a cooperative environment. Encourage students to think as a team to make joint decisions by first having them come up with a team name.   【小题4】 Make sure that each student has their own responsibilities in cooperative learning groups. Much like leadership skills, decision-making skills cannot be developed if students are not regularly practicing them.

What is IQ—and how much does it matter? 【小题1】 In short, it is supposed to measure how well someone can use information and logic to answer questions or make predictions. IQ tests begin to assess this by measuring short- and long-term memory. They also measure how well people can solve puzzles and recall information they’ve heard—and how quickly.

【小题2】 But some students struggle in school because of a weakness in one specific area of intelligence. These students often benefit from special education programs. There, they get extra help in the areas where they’re struggling. IQ tests can help teachers figure out which students would benefit from such extra help.

IQ tests can also help identify students who would do well in fast-paced “gifted education” programs. 【小题3】 And the US government uses IQ tests when choosing who to hire. These tests help predict which people would make good leaders, or be better at certain specific skills.

【小题4】 Most non-experts think intelligence is the reason why successful people do so well. Psychologists who study intelligence find this is only partly true. IQ tests can predict how well people will do in particular situations, such as thinking abstractly in science, nearing or art. or lending teams of people. But there’s more to the story. Extraordinary achievement depends on many things. And those extra categories include ambition, persistence, opportunity the ability to think dearly—even luck. 【小题5】
