When you're assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to the book of list, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it.” Said Dr. Michael Telch of The Laboratory of the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it,”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, Selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researches depend on money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications and nearly everyone write e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you'll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing seriously and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you're preparing yourself for a good career.

Part 1

Develop good study habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.

Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide when to study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·        Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·        Consider what time of day you are most alert – there are morning people and night owls – and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·        Think about whether you do better studying foe a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

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 the 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 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 the 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 learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according the class. I couldn’t study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class the same way I studied for a financial 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.
