Among the benefits of scheduling your study time are: - ✔You will be able to see immediately if you are overextended; You'll get immediate feedback as to how much you are actually studying; You'll feel that you have more time than you ever had before; You'll feel much less stressed-out over school "Procrastination" means: - ✔Doing something you know you shouldn't do Self-actualization means: - ✔Becoming what you are most suited for Self-efficacy is: - ✔Your sense of competence According to Nathaniel Branden, healthy self-esteem correlates with: - ✔Willingness to admit mistakes, Rationality, Realism, Intuitiveness, Creativity, Independence, Flexibility, Cooperativeness, Benevolence, Ability to manage change The book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People was written by: - ✔Stephen Covey Steven Covey's guiding principle in Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is: - ✔organize and excel around ¨ Decide what has high personal value (school, family, health, etc) ¨ For each thing that needs to be done decide: How urgent is it? (Requires immediate attention; doesn't require immediate attention) How important is it based on personal values? (Important; or not important) ¨ Unimportant things whether urgent or not - ignore ¨ Things that are both important and urgent (crisis management) - must be tended to ¨ Things that are important but not urgent - tending to them is the key to overall effectiveness Which statement is an example of "stereotyping?" - ✔Women on average live longer than men ; Italians are good cooks ; Engineers care only about things and not about people ; Fat people are jolly In a challenging math, science, or engineering course the number of hours should you study for each hour the class meets is: - ✔Whatever is required Good test taking strategies include: - ✔First read over the entire test ; Start with the easier problems ; Check your work carefully ;Avoid jumping from problem to problem In scheduling your study time: - ✔Schedule blocks of time;
Note both where and what you will study; Schedule sufficient time to master the material presented in each class before the next class meeting; According to Albert E.N. Gray, "The Common Denominator of Success" is: - ✔forming the habit of doing things failures don't like to do Your commitment to your study time should match or exceed your commitment to the time you spend attending class because: - ✔When you negotiate away your study time, you are borrowing time from the future which does not exist The first step in a systematic approach to analytical problem solving is: - ✔Understand the problem Jesse Jackson's "Push for Excellence" program teaches young students that: - ✔You should strive to do your personal best The most important step is learning from reading is: - ✔Recite what was learned, preferably aloud "No Deposit, No Return" means: - ✔You will get out of school what you put in "Productive behaviors" are those that: - ✔Move us closer to our goal Priority management means: - ✔Do the things that are important The major difference between doing problems as homework and doing problems on a test is: - ✔Time pressure "Take it as it comes" as used in the text means: - ✔Keep up in your classes Finding the proper balance between work and play is important to an engineering student because: - ✔Not getting one's work done can cause feelings of guilt and worry; A person who works too much can feel deprived and lose their motivation The basic premise of "behavior modification" is: - ✔We choose our behaviors A survey of industry representatives conducted by the National Society of Professional Engineers indicated the #1 area in which more coursework was called for was: - ✔Mathematics and science Engaging in collaborative learning and group study will benefit you because: - ✔You'll be better prepared for the engineering work world; You'll learn more; You'll enjoy studying more Time is an "equal opportunity" resource because: - ✔everyone has the same amount of time The difference between open-ended problems and analysis problems is that : - ✔Analysis problems have one right answers; open ended problems have many answers Anecdote research shows that 90 percent of freshman engineering students virtually 100 percent of their studying alone. This approach to studying is : -
