Study Tips and Tricks
General Study Tips:
Don't be afraid to talk with your teacher about where you can improve and what they believe are the most important parts to focus on.
The best person to ask "what do I need to do?" is the one who will be grading your paper. This may seem like a given, but it is sometimes easy to forget.
Don't forget to MAKE A PLAN! You don't need a fancy planner to create a study plan. All you need to do is list out the assignments that need completed and when you have tests or quizzes so you have a general idea of what is expected of you and when.

GET THE GRADING RUBRIC AND READ IT!
In order to get a good score you need to know what you are suppose to do!
Read the grading rubric for projects and papers so you know what is expected of you.
Start your homework right away!
If you finish your homework early you can give it back to the teacher and ask if there is anything that you can improve on.
This way you can get as many points as possible!
Do any and all work that is assigned.
Even if it seems like busy work and too boring to do it. FINISH IT!!
Get all the "easy points" (all points are important!) you can. This way you have a buffer for your grade when it comes to projects and tests.
