The Armstrong Medical Education Building

Johns Hopkins is going to be launching a bold new vision for medical education - the Genes to Society Curriculum. And along with that, the curriculum is going to take place in a state-of-the-art building designed specifically for it. As the campus' new medical education center, the Armstrong Medical Education Building provides innovative classrooms with projection capabilities on all four walls and mobile podiums for teachers. There are large lecture halls, learning studios, and private study areas. The building also features the latest digital communications technology, including virtual-realtiy simulations, MRI imgages, CT scans (i have NO IDEA what they are... but they all sound pretty cool! :D) and other 21st century technologies. Isn't that awesome?!?! XD

Weekly Study Tips # 3

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!




oy... so much work to do... yet, so little time... =.="
 

For those of you procrastinators, you know EXACTLY what I'm about to say... (and if you don't... well I was about to tell you to NOT procrastinate... and yea...)
anyways, BACK ON TOPIC!!

So procrastination is a huge problem for almost every teenagers these days... Whenever we come home from school, our parents would always ask us, "Hey *insert name*, why aren't you doing your homework?!?!"... and we would always give them the same old stupid answer, "Well... there's still 2 days before the hw is due, so yea... I'll do it tomorrow or something... I'm just gonna go watch TV now..."
well let me tell you, that's the wrong answer...
instead, you should force yourself to do a little bit of the hw each day, that way, you won't be too stressed out, and you won't leave all the works cramped up 'til the last day before it's due...

Take this as an example...
So one day, your teacher assigns you this really huge science project that'll probably take days to finish... What would you do when you go home?
well this is what a teenager would usually do in that case... goes home, CHILLs on the sofa for a few seconds, realizes that he/she has homework so he/she must stop CHILLING, digs out the agenda from backpack, flips to the page with hw stuff, hesitates, closes agenda, goes to room, takes out ipod, plays angry bird (or whatever apps)...
see? THAT'S THE BEGINNING TO THE PROCESS OF PROCRASTINATION!!!!!! (which is BADDDDD!!!)
instead, this is what you're SUPPOSE to do... take a look...
When you finally come home from an exhausting school day, and you realize that you have a big project that's due next week... you........ GLUE YOUR BUTT TO YOUR CHAIR, SIT THERE, BE A GOOD KID, AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, just kidding... no need to be that harsh to yourself... XD
ok, so here's what you should do... just do a little bit of the project everyday, and eventually you'll get it all done, right?!!!!!
that's a motto you should always stick in your head, and NOT this... "Don't do it now... just leave it 'til later..."
(just remember... there IS NO "later"... 0.0)


remember... THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE WORSE IT GETS!!!!!!

and as hard as it might seem, you just have to SUCK IT UP!!! (lol)
and don't worry, you're not the only one struggling with this problem... I'M struggling too...
In fact, the reason I nearly failed social study back in grade 7 was all because of procrastination... (ok, maybe I exaggerated a little bit... I didn't ALMOST FAIL... i just... got a really bad mark (a "C" ain't no joke, y'all <--- why am i suddenly talking so cowboy-ish?!?! haha XD)
anyways!!
see? that's what procrastinating can do to you................. SO DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!!!!!!!

sigh... it's teenagers' instinct to procrastinate... :P



say this to yourself!!! XDDDD

Weekly Study Tips # 2

Taking notes in class...

Taking notes in class is actually much more important than you think...
It's not just about copying down stuff the teacher says... It's also about helping you memorize the information taught in class so that you can be better prepared for quizzes, tests, ect...

Anyways... Here are some methods of taking good notes:

- BE NEAT!!!
   never think that if you write messy, you can still read it afterward, cuz trust me, YA CAN'T!!! i've tried doing that before, and the consequences weren't that good... I couldn't decipher a single word I wrote, so I ended up having to rewrite everything again from the textbook :P

- DRAW DIAGRAMS ON YOUR NOTES (and label them, too :D)
When I said "draw diagrams", I am not saying that this is a chance for you to doodle smiley faces and hearts on your notebooks... (in fact, that's the exact opposite of what I was saying) What I meant was that you should always draw diagrams that can help you memorize the stuff you're learning! and seriously, DO NOT DOODLE ON YOUR NOTES...

 

this is a BAD example of a student's notebook... XP

for those of you who thinks I'm just joking around... I'M NOT!!!!!
