2. Fear of Failure. A student may lack confidence and fear that he/she will be unable to accomplish a task successfully.
3. Motivate yourself to work on a task with thoughts such as “There is no time like the present,” or “Nobody’s perfect.”
4. Make a schedule of the tasks you have to do and stick to it.

Taking Notes in Class
1. Complete all assigned readings before you come to class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and build upon this information.
2. Keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying. Listen for “signal statements” that tell you that what your teacher is about to say is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal statements are “The most important point…” and “Remember that . . . “ Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the chalkboard.
3. Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
4. Make your notes more accurate by answering any questions you had when writing your notes in class. Use your textbook and reference sources to obtain the information you need to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher or other students for help.
5. Bring all notetaking materials with you to class. Have several pens and pencils as well as your notebook.

Week Three Task One
I need to improve on getting to class on time. Missing things in class means extra effort and wasted time. The reason for my being late is because, i don't keep track of time. I just sit around looking at t.v. For now on i'm going to look at the clock every five minutes. I promise to all my teachers to be on time to class.
