in some of your low level college classes the classroom size is huge.  Teachers don't want to call out all the names so they pass around an attendance sheet.  You get a friend in that class and you guys alternate days of going to class the one who goes signs your name to the list in different ink and not right after their name all the time

I am an actual professor, and unless the student has a history of slacking and then trying to suck up, I don't assume that their intent is bad.  Anything specific you can say would help ("I never thought I would find Victorian literature interesting, but your lecture on Joseph Conrad's work made me so curious that I bought Heart of Darkness to read over vacation.")  That shows that you actually listened to what she said in class.  Most people get far too little thanks for the work that they do, and I'm sure that your professor will appreciate anything you might say.

When in doubt, ask your teacher what format they want. Do a practice exam/essay for them and ask them for feedback. Always write to your audience.\n\nIf you don't know your audience, or your teacher won't give you feedback, then for law school use an element-fact based format. While stories are great for advocacy (or undergraduate work), on a law school exam (or bar exa) don't make the grader have to work to understand what you are saying.\n\nRemember IRAC. The Issue is your header, identifying what is being discussed. The Rule is the statement of law. Then Apply the facts to the rule for the Analysis portion. Finally, state the Conclusion.\n\nA good essay will looking like a thick outline. IRAC the major issues, then sub-IRAC for the individual elements.\n\nSo, you'd have a header for the Battery problem, then list the elements (the rule) for battery. The analysis will be all the sub-IRACs.\n\nFor each Element, have a sub-header (I), define the element (R), apply the facts (A), and state whether that element is met or not (C).\n\nAt the end, after you're done with the list of elements, don't forget your overall conclusion for the main Battery issue.\n\nThis format will get you through most law school exams and should get you the bar exam.

okay, here's a little technique i use when writing essay..and it's really easy once you get a hang of it..and i'll show it to you through step by step :]\n\nExample. Topic - is it appropriate for teenagers to have a computer in their room? (yeah i know it sucks but i'm just using it as an example..and let's say you think they shouldn't)\n\nnow, you should think in your head that your essay will be at least contain 5 paragraphs - 1 for introduction, 3 for the body of the essay, and 1 for conclusion.\n\nparagraph 1 - introduction - try to talk about how the computers and the internet have gotten so poppular these days and how much people love to spend time on it. Then at the end of the paragraph, point out the thesis which you think that teenagers should not allow to have a computer in their room - but one thing, try not to make it an announcement.\n\nnow you need to explain a few reasons why teenagers should not have a computer in their room in order to support your thesis..\n\nbody  - paragraph 1 - it's addicting and teenagers may end up spending a lot more time on the computer than what they really suppose to, other than doing their homeworks.\n\n        paragraph 2 -  people who spend a lot of time on the computers tend to get headaches and back pain as well as damage of the vision.\n\n        paragraph 3 - it causes lack of communication between the teenagers and their parents because teenagers tend to spend a lot of time in their room so they could access to the internet.\n\nlast paragraph - conclusion - well i think you already got the idea of how to write the conclusion but remember your conclusion paragraph needs to correspond with the introduction paragraph :]\n\ni hope this will help you a little more to understand how the body structure of an essay should look like. good luck :]

i would write about time management or stress management. like how if everything is incredibly stressful u just wait for the weekend. or how u balance everything together to be a successful person and a successful student. or write about something you learned about yourself. take up a new hobby? sport? hung out with different people? read a book that changed your outlook on something? good luck!

I had this exact assignment for university three semesters ago.  I'll give you an idea of the tought process I followed to get to my philosophy.  First I started to think about how I think students learn, their different styles of learning; and my own teaching style.  I try to back all my points by examples, from books or from my own teaching experience, to prove what I believed in.  I think the most important part is to write about what you really believe in.  I'll e-mail you the first draft of my philosophy so you get a better idea of what I'm talking about.  Take into consideration that I'm an ESL teacher in Guatemala and that there are several experiences that deal with my own private teaching.

You don't have to leave, but if you're not performing up to the class' established standards, leaving now and returning when you have things better together would look better than possibly failing the class.\n\nI am ADD, too. Have you seen a doctor and discussed a possible prescription to help you concentrate?

Why don't you just quit school and get a job instead of taking up space that someone who really wants to learn could use? Lazy college students who can't be bothered to do their schoolwork should go to work instead.\n\nTo answer your question, you could go to one of the four kinds of libraries, do the research and write the paper yourself.

Petition the school to lower the block.  Get signatures if you have to.  Come up with some good reasons why you should have access to it.  I'll give you one to start with: If you leave your homework at home and its typed, someone can attach it and email it to you so you can print it out at school and turn it in without it being late.

Document the incident as soon as possible.  Write him a letter as clearly and as objectively as you can describing what happened, including what you said and what he said, leaving nothing out and exaggerating nothing.  Give one copy to him and one to the department head.  Indicate on the letter who is getting a copy.  If the remaining page strongly hints of more to come (such as ending in mid-sentence), point that out.\n\nPropose a solution--you would be willing to write the essay again under similar conditions (make sure you refresh your memory on the subject matter).\n\nIf confronted by the professor, tell him you are sorry, but you really did write more and felt you had to do something.\n\nMake an appointment with the department head to discuss the situation.  Tell him you only want what is fair.\n\nUnderstand that you can never take a class from that professor again.

after you read the question, take a minute (literally, not more) to write a quick outline of your essay on some scrap paper or the margin- that way you'll know where you want to go with your essay, and you'll be able to leave out time-consuming stuff that doesn't add to your argument.  Beyond that, practice keeping an eye on the clock.\n\nWorked for me in AP history/government. Good luck.

I would love to help you. Along with your essay, make a small project like a tree, and how each BRANCH(get it) works. Unfortunatly, You waited until last minute. I have done that; it is not the way to go

Whenever I am procrastinating (which is more frequently than I would care to admit) I find it best to take the easiest, least drudge-like task and tackle it first. So start with an outline to the papers, write your name, your professors name leave a blank for the title, Section it off into sections reading "thesis statement", introductory paragraph etc. It' sjust easier that way. Ok, this said, I will now get a start on my two papers that are due on Thursday! Thanks for the reminder. (And by the way your thoughts aren't useless :)

Sorry, honey, but judging on how you wrote this question, you need some quality time in English class. TV can't teach you a lot of things, including how to write. Learning should not be a passive activity, the way watching TV is. You need to be able to discuss, debate, ask questions. Instead of resenting school, try to be more engaged in your classes. Don't think "I'm never going to need to know this" because in truth you don't really know what you are going to need to know if the future. Yeah, I know some of the teachers are boring and unfair, but not all of them. Anyway, isn't school almost over for this year?

I nearly started a riot in a sixth grade classroom when I asked the students, "What do you think of  your school lunch?" Within 10 minutes, they were making petitions to have the lunch program changes to be healthier. They were so captivated.\n\nI was also in another middle school classroom where the students had written fantastic essays called "Those who don't know ." They each picked a topic they loved (say football) and wrote an essay that formatted as follows:\n*****\n   -----------------\nThe Assignment - Copy Change\n\nStudents are to write their own "Those Who Don't."  The essay should be about a place where they feel comfortable, but where others may not feel comfortable.  It should also include information about a place where they feel uncomfortable.  The following phrases should be included in the three paragraph essay:\n\n       Those who don't know any better .......  They think .....    They think .....     They are stupid people who.....\n\n       Be we aren't afraid .....\n\n       ....our knees go shakity shake .....     Yeah.  That's how it goes and goes.\n\n\nI hope this helps!\nmore about the assignment at: http://wonders.eburg.wednet.edu/Morgan/ThoseWhoDont.htm

Set aside a certain amount of time each day to review the material from class.  Re-read and highlight your own notes for main ideas and major details.  If you don't have notes, but you have a textbook, you can skim each chapter and take brief notes now.  Some people work well in study groups where others can explain concepts that you may not understand, but some people can't focus that way.  Learn what is best for you by trying a variety of strategies--with or without music/people/etc.  It also depends what you're studying, but having someone quiz you out loud can help if you need to learn vocabulary.  Good luck!

I truly hope you're not looking for an essay.  I'll help you break it down so it's easier to write.\n\n1st paragraph -- State your view.  Do you think it's a good idea?  Why?  Why not?\n\n2nd, 3rd, 4th paragraphs -- one paragraph for each of your reasons.  Make certain to use details to support them.  For example: "One reason why I think this is a bad idea is because kids do not know which teachers are good.(topic sentence)  Kids may pick teachers they think are easy graders or who do not give much homework. (details)"  \n\n5th paragraph -- urge the principal to consider your views, and restate them for clarity.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck.
