Aislinn has just started her second semester of her freshman year. She performed poorly in her classes her first semester, and she's looking to improve her grades.\u00a0Aislinn goes to visit her\u00a0academic counselor, Mrs. Dembeck, for advice on how to proceed.\r\n\r\nMrs. Dembeck first suggests that they\u00a0put together a schedule to organize Aislinn's time.\u00a0They arrange Aislinn's schedule around class times and her work. While her work schedule\u00a0isn't the same from week to week, she works approximately the same number of hours. Mrs. Dembeck suggests that Aislinn creates a custom study schedule every time she gets her new\u00a0work schedule. This way she can keep\u00a0the amount of time she studies consistent\u2014even if studying at the same time every day isn't possible.\r\n\r\nAs the semester goes on, Aislinn notices that organizing her time\u00a0helps her make it to class every day. She also finds that she's completing more of her homework than she did her first semester: as she creates her custom schedules, she looks at upcoming assignments to make sure that she has\u00a0all her work completed before it's\u00a0due. Aislinn also\u00a0tries a few different learning strategies as she studies for her classes. Looking up supplemental videos and online simulations is really helpful\u00a0for her learning in biology, and\u00a0creating information webs helps her in her literature class.\r\n\r\nAt the end of her second\u00a0semester,\u00a0Aislinn finds she was far more successful in her classes\u00a0than she was in her first semester. She decides to signup for an on-campus mentoring program where she can help other students organize their own learning habits and skills.","rendered":"Aislinn has just started her second semester of her freshman year.
