Students of all ages, races, background and creed dread and equally fear homework. Unfortunately, for them, it is one of the many things that are inevitable which comes before tax and death. Most of these students cannot even be said to be the not so bright ones. The fear and dread of homework somehow cuts across all intelligent quotients. This does not have to be the case. There are certain habits that one can cultivate in themselves to try to debunk the terror of homework and the associated myths.
Unfortunately for the slothful, this does not include the do my essay for a fee tagline. That is a cop out, a circumvention of the problem, which is in no way a solution. What one needs is a longtime lifelong solution. This is because homework is an integral part of life. It at times transcends student life and runs over into one’s career. As much as paying for help is easier and certainly more exciting, doing the homework by one’s self and encouraging this in friends and young ones is the better option.
GOOD HOMEWORK ADVICE
It is very easy to procrastinate. This is however, the number one habit that one needs to ditch. This means that if one is given any task with a deadline, they should set their own deadline too which should be earlier than the submission one. The person should then plan how to tackle the assignment in easy progressive steps. It is then paramount that one sticks to the plan. This will provide for ample time to research and hand in a stellar assignment. It will also help avoid the last minute rush, which is the main cause of poorly done essays and bad grades. It is important to have study breaks.
This enhances knowledge retention, reduces fatigue and increases productivity. Studying with break intervals in between is a habit that should be encouraged from an early age. The art of prioritizing not only where homework is involved but also in every sphere of life is a much-needed skill. This is something that one can teach themselves as well as their children over time. One should identify the tasks that need completing, arrange them in order of priority and then work their way down from the top of the list. This ensures that the activities with closer deadlines or wider scopes of research are completed first. This in turn leaves both the student and the concerned parent less stressed and with time to kill with other trivial pursuits. Finally yet importantly, it is important to go over work. This means going through the assignment instructions to see if there is something one missed. It is only natural to go through the written essay thereafter to confirm that all the necessary areas have been covered. The after completion read ‘throughs’ will also help note and correct any grammatical and sentence construction errors that one might have made while writing. It also helps see if the work is coherent, brief (within the specified word count) and clear. One can get or be a personal editor. This is the extra pair of independent eyes that will go through the said assignment. Their duty is to see if the paper is well done and to make suggestions for the writer to make it a better piece. If one follows the above guidelines, who knows, doing homework might be their favorite pastime. Not forgetting the seemingly effortless stellar grades that will follow. Happy learning touts le monde.
