Tennessee Walking Horse Trainer Torture Horses


Tennessee Walking Horse Trainer Torture Horses

Reflection: I think that what Jackie McConnell did to those horses is one of the worst things anyone can ever do. Cheating is already a bad thing but cheating by torturing innocent horses is even worse. I think that he deserves to go to jail for that so he can finally realize that what he did had serious consequences. If he was going to cheat in the first place he should have at least cheating in a way that didn’t cause the animals any pain. But the fact that he decided to torture the animals makes him an even more cold blooded person. I think he was a person that didn’t care about what those horses felt even though they showed all their pain because of what he did. Jackie McConnell deserves to suffer the consequences that come for what he did.

My strategies for written assignments: Everyone has their own writing style. I generally come up with an idea and do massive amounts of research before I ever think about writing. I then organize my research then sometimes prepare an outline before actually writing. I always print out the paper and come back to it the next day and reread it. That is the easiest way for me to catch my own mistakes. I have to give my eyes a break from it, and if I just wrote it I think it looks perfect. But if I look at it a day later.

Part 1
How I study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: Really it is my time management that is explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Then Sunday night all I have to do is review since I studied Thursday and Friday. When that’s over I can review for other tests.
My overall study method: I try to break it up over several days at least two. I also try to see if I can pull an all nighter. How I overcome an initial bad grade: if I got a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t study or didn’t use the correct method for that class.

My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to make the terms and apply them to an example or create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.

My time management secret: I always always, always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlights to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments, green is for sorority. Although I use white out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday. I need to start working on it on the previous Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story Part 1


Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even) if when it isn’t (required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: Structured. One thing I leaned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class I couldn’t study for a Religion Class the same way I studied for a Finance Class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class—even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: A very big thing is to ask for help if you need it. It’s not a bad thing to understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do nothing to prevent it. Plan everything out so that you still have time to double check everything. Write things down so you remember. I find myself thinking that I try harder to fail then to succeed. If you don’t understand then find a classmate that’s more then willing to help you.
