Hello! I’m Nicole and these are some printables I made! These are just pictures, so they aren’t the best quality on here.

The link to download/print them for free (noncommercial use) is here:  https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz3i4KODEWprRGktUFoxTGJpOG8&usp=sharing

(btw on the study organizer printable, the “time” column symbolizes how long I’d estimate it’d take me to do that assignment. I like estimating so I can decide which assignments to do first & which ones to do last if they take the most time)

If you use my printables & like them, I’d really appreciate it if you take a picture and link my url/blog in your caption, or simply just mention me to your followers! I’m a new studyblr and I hope to connect with more studyblr’s as well :) 

Have a nice day everyone! 

(btw if anybody has suggestions as to how I can make the printables better/more convenient, feel free to send me a message on here and I will upload an updated version to Google Drive!)

STUDY PLAN

I personally use one page per subject, but you can use it however you like. For the “prep”, “after class”, “weekly review” and “monthly review” box, I tick those boxes after I have done those (e.g. prepared for class / reviewed after class etc.) for that particular topic. This can help me to keep track of my progress. You can download it here.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE

I have always talked about making a weekly study timetable so that you can get used to the study routine and stick to it. Here is the printable I use for planning my weekly schedule. If you would like to have a word (.docx) version of it (for merging the boxes for example) you can message me and I will send it to you. Anyways, you can download it here.

MONTHLY GOALS PAGE

This is a page for you to write down your monthly goals. I personally would write down the tests/exams I know I will be having that month and also my desired/predicted grades. You can download it here.

Click here for more printables (strive-for-da-best). If you have any ideas or recommendations, I will be happy to post a new version or send a personal copy to you! x

Well. Here’s a big’un. I finally had time to work on printables so I decided to make a new version of the exam pack printable. Hopefully this helps with exam season.

Includes:

IFTTT - Write down rewards for accomplishing important tasks! Motivate yourself!

Exam Schedule - Keep track of all the deets for up to 18 exams! (dear lord, I hope you never have to suffer such a fate…but in case you do, I added a couple rows, just for you). Check off your exams as you take them.

Monthly Calendar - Keep track of important exam dates. Plan up to 6 months in advance, like the extremely prepared student you are/aspire to be. Comes w/ legend if you like color coding ‘n stuff . :D

Major Topics - Keep track of topics covered on your exam(s).

Scoreboard + Graph - Keep track of your exam scores as you take your exams. Visualize your progress. There are enough graphs to record exam scores in 6 subjects.

D-Day Calendar - Figure out your study schedule in the context of how many days you have left until your exam. Each page has 36 days.

Weekly Calendar - Keep on top of your study schedule; you can plan out your days or just write about your study plan for the week. Also serves as daily planner.

Self-Evaluation - See how you did on certain topics on an exam. Helpful when you’re reviewing past exams or mock exam results.

Good luck on your studies, everyone!!

Postscript: Unfortunately, this printable isn’t available for editing. Because of this, I’m opening up my ask box for feedback regarding some small edits you might like me to make on this printable. This means that at a later date, I will aggregate your feedback and try to make an even newer (possibly better) version of this printable! So all’s well that ends well.

when did tumblr collectively decide not to use punctuation like when did this happen why is this a thing

[amarkedmind]

For people learning French and wanting to speak it like a native, I’ll give you some tips, the things native people say (so you can sound less formal when you speak it).

“Je suis” is often shortened to “j’suis” and if we say it fast, it becomes “chuis”

“Tu es” and basically every verb with “tu” that starts with a vowel, we contract it and make it “t’es”, “t’arrives”, etc.

“il y a”, “il y avait” are most of the time shortened to (oral speech and when writing to a friend) “ya”, “y avait”

To make a question, it’s rare that we use the “est-ce que” form, we just take the affirmative sentence and put a question mark at the end : tu veux manger? (instead of : veux-tu manger?, est-ce que tu veux manger?)

Some abbreviations we often use :

bcp (beaucoup), mtn (maintenant), pk (pourquoi), tlm (tout le monde), mm (même), ptn (putain)

I know this post is probably useless but if you have any questions about french, ill be happy to answer them!

How to Take Notes: from a Textbook

(Be sure to change the post type from link to text post when you reblog, if that’s what you want to do)

This method is best suited for textbook or article notes, and is a version of revised notes. It is also well suited for books you plan on returning to the bookstore or books you have rented, as it does not involve writing directly in the book itself.

First, you’ll need to find a notebook, and the pens you like the best. My favorite notebooks to work with for note-taking, especially for my “revised” notes, are the Moleskine, hard or soft cover, in size extra large. For this specific class (Intro to Gender and Women’s Studies), I decided that lined pages would suit my needs better. For my math, engineering, and science classes, I usually opt for squared paper, as I draw in lots of diagrams and graphs.

My favorite pens ever are Staedtler Triplus Fineliners, so even though they show through the pages a little bit, I still choose to use them. I just love the way they write. I usually write out my notes themselves with a Pilot G2 05 with black ink, as it writes with a finer line and doesn’t bleed through quite as much.

I usually try to set up my notebooks about a week or so before class starts, that way it’s ready to go on my first day of class.

You’ll want to start off by setting up your notebook. On my first page, I put my course code for my university, as well as the course title.

Next, and this is perfectly optional (I just like the way it makes the book look, especially at the end of the semester), I include some sort of related quote to the course. For my engineering courses (which are related to my major), I put a different quote at the beginning of each section. But as this is a two-month long course during the summer, I opted for one quote by Mohadesa Najumi at the beginning of my book.

Next I set up my table of contents and include a page with basic course information. As this course is all online, my course information just included the start and end dates of the course, what time content is posted and on what day, and the name of my professor. For my usual courses, I will include the days of the week the class meets on and where, TA names and contact info, as well as posted office hours for my professors and TAs and tutoring hours either in the library or in the College of Engineering.

Next is one of the things I’m most proud of.

While I religiously use my Erin Condren planner to map out my days, weeks, and months, I have found throughout my college experience that including monthly views for the months my class ranges has been helpful. This way, there’s no sifting through the multiple colors I have in my planner, and everything related to that class is in the same notebook.

On this calendar I include start dates of the class, the end date, the dates of exams or quizzes, assignment deadlines, office hours, etc.

For this course, as I just started a few days ago, I don’t have a lot of dates or information, so my calendars are still very empty.

Next up I go to my weekly overview. At the beginning of each week, I set up a weekly layout, and I include a list of assignments, tests, quizzes, tasks, projects, etc that need my attention throughout the week, and I place the days I plan on doing them or the days they need turned in onto the weekly layout.

Now you’re finally ready to get into taking the notes.

Gather your book, some sticky notes, and your favorite pen or pencil.

I color code my stickies so that the “revision” process later goes a bit smoother. In this case, I’m using blue to denote something interesting, intriguing, or thought provoking, greenish-yellow to represent the facts or important concepts, and pink for important vocabulary words and their definitions.

Read the selection once.

As you read along the second time, write notes on your stickies, and place them in a place of relevance directly on the page in the book. Just make sure you don’t cover up anything you need to keep reading.

Now, once you’ve read all the material in questions (you can choose to break it up however you want, but since Chapter 1 was assigned for the week, I’ve elected to break it into chapters), carefully remove your stickies one by one and lay them out on a flat surface. This is when having a separate color for vocab can be helpful, as I sometimes put all of my vocab at the beginning or end of a section, especially if the section of reading was particularly large.

Organize your stickies in an order that makes sense to you, and use this order as your basis for transferring those notes into your notebook. The order you choose can just be lumping them under similar headings. Some classes even lend themselves to a nice chronological order. Whatever you choose, just make sure it’s something that will make sense to you when you come back to it in the end.

Okay so up there I wasn’t following my own advice, I just thought I would include the picture because my handwriting looks nice…

Now organize the stickies!

Now you just start writing everything from the stickies into your notebook. I like to take each category or subgroup and put them in the book on the facing page, then put them back in my textbook as I finish with each post it.

Moving on to the next category.

Before you know it, you’ve written all of your stickies into your notebooks.

Now you’re revved up and ready to go. You can either keep going and make a note summary page (which I’ll show you next week), or you can leave it. These will also be helpful when reviewing for tests and quizzes. You can highlight or underline, or use even more stickies (which is what I usually do) as you review.

Well, that’s all I have for you right now. Happy studying!

#STUDYBLR RESEARCH SURVEY

Attention Studyblr Community! Please answer my short survey and questionnaire on the studyblr community.

I am an anthropology undergraduate at Indiana University Northwest, to be Communication Master’s student at Purdue University Calumet in the fall of 2015. I am conducting a preliminary research project on the #studyblr community as a senior project as a possible way for educators and students to communicate and exchange educational resources online. If all goes well, I will be continuing the project into graduate school and hope to present my findings at the Interactions Conference 2016, a University of California-LA journal on Gender in Education and Information. 

This survey is preliminary and covers mostly demographics and member thoughts on he community, but I eventually hope to incorporate #studyblr as a way to encourage students, particularly underrepresented students, to join higher education generally and STEM field in particular.

The survey is two parts, I’m sorry. I have limited resources right now and Survey Monkey only allows 10 questions.

Part One & Part Two

Please participate and share! My personal Tumblr is lionsgobrawrg​ and the research blog is academiabot​.

Hank begins teaching you about your endocrine system by explaining how it uses glands to produce hormones. These hormones are either amino-acid based and water soluble, or steroidal and lipid-soluble, and may target many types of cells or just turn on specific ones.
