1. Learning Skills By: Lindsay Eason

2. Goal My goal was to improve my memorization and to organize and manage my time well.

3. Background • Quiz and test grades were low and were on the verge of getting lower • Was dedicating more time to other things • Wasn’t prepared

4. Statement of Work • Goal setting and Time management • organizer • Concentration and Memory • Flash cards • Exam Preparation and Performance • Test taking tips • Anxiety and Stress Management • Sleep schedule

5. Organization and Time management • Organizer • Events • Homework • Tests • Monthly Planner • Weekly Planner • I followed the calendar the teachers gave out at the beginning class, and planned ahead for the officers and general meetings for Habitat for Humanity.

6. Memorization • Flash Cards • Latin and English translation • Declensions • Verb, noun, neuter, f and M • 200 vocabulary • At the beginning of every chapter I would make cards then I would put them in alphabetical order. • Roommate quizzed me over the vocabulary after each chapter.

7. Schedule

8. Results • Grades on Quizzes: • 74 • 79 • 83 • 90 • Grades on Test: • 72 • 79 • 79 • Able to translate faster and able to break down sentences. • I was able to keep up with activities, events, meetings, and homework easily

9. Work Effort • I spent nine weeks on the project. • I added an hour to two hours of homework and study time to each class. • I worked on the presentation for two days and I spent nine weeks trying to reach my goal.

10. Was it Helpful? • The flash cards helped improve my quiz and test grades. It helped with the spelling and declensions. • I think I could do without the organizer. • I wouldn’t change the project. I would keep everything as it is. • One of the most important things was the flash cards.
