While this statement does hold some truth, it is not entirely accurate. It is true that much of Alexander the Great’s story was written long after his death, but that does not means “historians really do not know much about” him. It is often difficult to piece together the puzzle that makes up the life and times of Alexander, but to a large extent it can be done. Historians are able to piece together source material, histories, and archeological data to paint a portrait of the warrior king. This

You know the answer as I recalled memorizing the information cramming into one big blob but I just can’t explain it with the knowledge it perceives to need. In final analysis there is a prodigious unorthodoxness among knowledge and information when it comes to learning. What cramming the night before an exam illustrates is you don’t understand the subject due to lack of knowledge. The divergence from knowledge
class or not. Students usually skip classes because they pretend that they are tired or they want to go to a shopping mall. It is very easy to skip a class and give excuses, such as I was in the hospital, I made an accident, or I need to study for a final exam. After skipping a class, students go and take notes from other students who attended and class and copy them. However, this will affect them in their exams because they won’t get high grade as students who attend classes. There is an example about
have to go through. Students often find it very tough to decide what are the right classes to take that related to their major. It is also stressful to wake up in the morning and be one time for classes. Finally, preparing and taking mid-term and final exams are the most stressful time that student encounter for the entire semester. In a similar case to Jack, my friend, Som, who is a good student at City College, always gets nervous and stays up all night...
Studying. Long, endless nights. Sleep deprivation at its finest. Procrastination. Stress. All side effects of an upcoming final exam. Most students despise final exams, and any blessed with the opportunity to skip one would happily do so. As a student, I have grown not only to dread, but to despise the annual grind of final exams. Speaking from experience, I view final exams as a combination of grade destruction, stress, and sleep loss. I can only remember the night before an awful assessment where
annotating poems, let alone understand a phrase written by Shakespeare. Also, reading a fictitious book bored me to death. Because of the school rules, I was forced, without any way out, to do a subject I had no idea how to work around for Cambridge final exams. I was terrified when I found out. It took a few hours to accept that there will be D grades in all my report cards. During my fi...
overwhelmed. Short answer and essay tests/quizzes are my least favorite tests to take. I have a few regular tests coming up, but the next big test(s) I have coming up are both of my finals. I have one for Math-109 and Per-101. Math-109 is a college algebra. Per-101 is college success. I am taking another class, but do not have a final test in that class. I’m not sure what type of exam they are going ...
Final exams have been given to students for many years. They are given at the end of the semester to show how much of the taught information has been learned by the student. When students are asked if final exams are beneficial to their learning the answer usually given is no. The students state that final exams are just used to ruin all the work that they have put into the class during the semester. They complain about the many hours before the exam of cramming information into their brain that
Plagiarism: A Very Serious Offense Plagiarism is a very serious subject to talk about. It doesn’t sound like it is that big of a deal but very serious things can come out of it. Students could lose scholarships and get kicked out of school for something as simple as copying someone else’s work. Students should learn the rules and regulations of the school ,that they are attending, about plagiarism.[1] That’s basically what plagiarism is; copying someone else’s work. The true definition

Life is a struggle and sometimes, it’s difficult to get over a problem. Everyone has their hard time, so do I. I have been experiencing many failures, betrayals and fell down many times.

Yes, I used to lose myself, but luckily, I could get rid of it in time. It happened about four months ago, when I was
scholar and receive a $10,000 scholarship during my freshmen year. In my junior year, the pressures of life came rolling out like a storm thus contributing to my decline in my GPA.

She got into a bad accident on her job and she had to receive immediate surgery and had to get 9 plates in her ankle. This did so much damage to me emotionally. My mom always taught me to be strong and she
After an incident I had had once, I understood that happiness could be just one step away from loosing it. I was seventeen. Summer was in the air, but we could not enjoy it because it was the time of our graduation and we had to study for our final exams. When exams were over, we were relieved and decided that we deserved some rest. Usually, people prefer resting on beaches, living in expensive hotels, eating at exclusive restaurants, and enjoying other services provided by travel companies
supposed to mark the end of my high school education and since I had consciously prepared for my core and elective courses, I had nothing to be afraid of; the future looked promising. Then December 3rd came, the day that marked the beginning of my final exams. I woke up that morning feeling hopeful and a little anxious which was perfectly normal. Then we went to the exam hall and settled to start the exam, then all hell broke loose; I started feeling dizzy, cold and sick. I remember vomiting which
Reading through piles of books, was a child on the verge of performing exaptionaly well on her final exam. It had been months since she discriminated herself from her friends and her childhood enjoyments. Ever since school started she was docile and paid numerous attention to the lessons that were instructed. And it all came down to this, the annual final exam. She walked inside the classroom, with an overwhelming combination of nervousness and excitement. Then I walked in, with all the carelessness
is such thing as exam stress. The stress includes disturbed sleep patterns, tiredness, worrying, irregular eating habits, increased infections, and inability to concentrate (Dunford, 2014). Would our society be better off without final exams? A final exam is an examination administered at the end of an academic term.

Question 2 In the classroom, teachers can teach with a learner-centered approach or a subject-centered approach to curriculum. In general, a learner-centered approach focuses on individual students, while a subject-centered curriculum is more about the material that is taught in class. According to Manning and Bucher, a learner-centered curriculum places priority the student’s needs, well-being, self-esteem, and attitudes (83). The emphasis is on what the students need to be successful, and in
very difficult to make those grades A’s and as a matter of fact, that was a major challenge I encountered. It all started, when the duration reduced to about two months. Each and every student realized the need to study and prepare very well for the final exam. Out of fear and anxiety I decided to put in all my possible efforts within the few days to attain the level I really wanted to be. Sooner did I know, the days drew closer and the exam that tested our competence was due. Each and every individual
