Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
When I'm having trouble understanding what a textbook chapter is about, I go to the end to see if there is a summary or conclusion. If there is, this gives me a sense of what the author is trying to convey.

DO NOT LEAVE STUDYING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! I cannot stress that enough. I often leave studying until the the night before and I always get a lower then when I start studying a week before. My best study tip is to get on computer and type up all your notes, then print them and study from them. By doing all this you get a lot more information in your head.

Delayed Feedback
Here is something that happens to all teachers. You prepare and teach a wonderful lesson, but when the bell rings, the students leave without saying a word about how good it was. You cannot rely on instant gratification. Instead, keep in mind that some things you do in class will influence students for years to come.
Opposite Behavior
A simple way to deal with an undesirable behavior is to request a behavior that is incompatible with the undesirable behavior. For example, if a student ignores a particular student in the class, request that he or she work with that student on a specific task that can earn each of them points toward a higher grade.
