Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail
7 of 10
When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to detail was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Initiative

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem Solving Skills

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live daily day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises.

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

Read the directions
It's important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.
Answer easy questions first.
Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across some information that can help you with other questions.
Answer every question
Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don't complete correctly.
Ask questions
If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that's not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

¥Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

¥If there is an author listed, look for biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

Check the date. facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

+Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site's reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways you can do this

• Look for facts you know or you can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it's more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate
• study the language used. is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned?

Look at the sites address. What follows the dot?

• Dot- com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals
• dot- org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot- org present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.
• dot-gov represents a government website at a federal, state, or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics and it's sites are widely considered among the most reliable
• dot-milis used by sites that are part of the military
• dot-edu usually indicates a university website. while it's published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with a university, whether a world renowned scholar or freshman, can be given space on it's server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn't mean thy're vouching for it's accuracy

Using the Web Wisely
Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.
You've probably used the Internet to do research for the paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way— they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.
