With a little work you can master a useful skill. Last year's level four students CLEP tested out of over 105 college credits.
Talk to me. What was your best help in class last year. (What helped you succeed the most?) What was something that made you weak, something that hindered your success?
Tanner Riley Boone 5th My best help in class last year was the homework because it would put what I an learning into how I will use it in the class Something that made me weak was me using Google Translate
In my previous year of spanish something that helped me greatly was the ability to utilize an translator. At the same time this handy tool hindered my ability to retain the pertinent knoweldge to allow me to pass tests. The translator weakened my ability to memorize vocabulary and to construct proper sentences using the learned material.
The best help in class last year was the homework it helped me understand the material better. The work sheets in class helped too. The something that made me weak was the option to use a smartphone because it is easier to use. when i used my smartphone I was not able to learn the materal as well as if I did not use a smartphone.
The things that helped me the most last year were the use of flash cards and the exercises. The thing that hurt me the most was my procrastination when it came to studying.
Bailey Knight 5th hour The thing that helped me the most last year was the homework because it helped me study using activities that were already created instead of me having to create study activities. The thing that held me back the most from getting a better grade last year was the translator on my phone. It stopped me from asking questions and from learning the material as well as i could have. Also i didnt study as much as much as i should have.
What helped the most last year was the vocabulary sheets and the notes we took in class. My weakest thing was when we had to speak to the class. Also i should have studied more.
The thing that helped me the most in spanish last year was the study guides that put the words side by side for me. The thing that hurt me the most last year was the homework, I procrastinated and just wrote down random answers because we got full credit as long as everything was all filled out.
Lizet Ruiz Waite 6th The best thing that helped me last year was studying notes, worksheets, and practice tests a few days before a test. What hurt my was using my phone while I stuided it got me distracted so I turned it off
Joe Pyle 4th Block The thing that helped me the most last year was the study guides and the homework. When I studied and filled out the homework throught the week I did well. The thing that hurt me the most was trying to cram the last night before the test when I didn't study or do my homework throught the week.
The best thing that helped me last year was my peer tutor. He gave me tips that heled me remember different words. What hurt me was conjugating some words, and not studying enough.
The best thing that helped me last year was the vocabulary pages. They made more sense than the grammar pages. What hurt me the most was not studying enough.
What helped me last year was the grammar packets that you would give us. They weren't necessary but they helped me build sentences and understand the language more. The speaking activities didn't seem to help me much because I would know how to use and say the words I would just have trouble thinking of them when I needed them.
The thing that helped me last year was the homework. It hepled me memorize the vocabulary and form sentences. The thing that hurt me was waiting to the last minute to study.
One thing that helped me last year would definitely have to be Quizlet.com One thing that made me weak would have to be Google translator and my slow, but good work ethic ;)
Jordin Warner 5th One thing that helped me out the most would probably be the grammar packets that we were assigned. The packets helped me review both vocabulary and grammar. Not going over the newly learned topics every night made me weak.
What helped me the most last year was using quizlet.com because it helped me memorize the vocabulary in fun ways. What hurt me was speaking out loud because I had a hard time with the pronunciation of the words.
What helped me the most last year was the vocabulary sheets. Not looking at the vocabulary sheet until the day before a test or quiz is what really hurt me.
What helped me last year was being able to practice with friends it helped me pay attention and still have fun in class. What made me weak was not studying at home tell the last night.
Quizlet was my best friend when i was struggling through Spanish 1. It helped me the most with vocabulary and memorization. My reluctance to actually speak spanish though, probably hurt me the most. What is the point of learning a language if i don't have the confidence to speak it right? Hopefully this year I can fix that.
What helped the most last year was the book activities, note takers, and asking other people for help when I needed it while missing excessive amounts of school was my weak spot. Having to catch up on note takers, quizzes, homework that had to be turned in, homework that we received, and in class assignments gets really tedious after awhile.
I made flashcards for every section, it took a little more time but it really payed off in the long run! Waiting till the day before to study was what made me weak. I'm going to try really hard to break that habit this year.
What helped me a lot last year was studying and actually paying attention in class. It also helped when he moved a little slower. He would move much too fast and expect us to master that certain concept. What made me weak is using Google Translate and talking to my friends during class.
The thing that helped me the most last year was quizlet. Quizlet allowed me to learn the vocabulary in a more interesting fun way, rather then just on flash cards. The thing that hurt me the most last year was not studying enough.
My study methods were different from the norm. I actually wrote down all the terms I was NOT familiar with, and their definitions, over and over again until I was very familiar with them! I thought the activities where we drew on white boards were a BIG help. And studying the study guides really does help. And talking to my peer tutor in Spanish was helpful.
One thing that made me weak would have to be not using all my resources to the best of my advantage.
What helped me the most in Spanish 1 last year was reviewing my vocabulary sheets. When I was finding ways to remember them and there meanings, I would first identify the cognates and then the rest I would create memory clues that related to the word or phrase. This is what helped me the most in Spanish 1.
Last year my biggest help in learning the vocabulary was the T-charts we did to help remember the different forms of the verbs and it was easy to picture the T-chart in my head so I knew the correct form to use in sentences.
The thing that helped me most last year was when I would organize the words from my vocabulary list onto flash cards. From there, I would color code the difficulty of the words and focus on the ones I had marked red (which meant that the word was really hard) and slightly review the ones marked green (the easy ones).
What hurt me the most was when I would put off studying until last minute, like the day before the test.
My biggest help to being succcessful in Spanish last year was just reviewing vocab on a daily basis and making flashcards for things I couldn't seem to memorize. Something that really hindered me last year was not practicing speaking enough to actually sound like I understood what was going on.
The thing that helped me to be successful last year was repetition of the vocabulary I didn't know and the T-charts with the conjugation endings. The T-charts made it a lot easier to memorize the endings, resulting in a better use of them. The main thing that hindered me from succeeding was procrastinating to review my new vocabulary until the last day and not trying to do my best on some of the worksheets that were given.
The thing that helped me succeed last year was mostly the vocab sheets, because if i knew what the vocab words are then i pretty much knew the answer to the question. What hurt me most is sometimes i wouldn't do my homework packet, and then it would drop my grade
The thing that helped me most last year was quizlet.com it helped me to learn my vocabulary and to keep studying it. The thing that held me back the most was the grammar. I had trouble grasping the concepts sometimes and understanding how to form sentences
Honestly, the thing that help me a lot was to just study. I know most kids dread studying but it the best way to memorize things. Flash cards or any sort of study form that works best for the student, is what they should do. I had more trouble with the gramar than the vocabulary.
Last year, what helped me the most in class was keeping all my previous study guides with me and being organized. Having the class last block and always missing for sports and stuff is what hurt me the most.
Freshman year, I was pretty organized. That helped a lot with homework. What killed me was my lack of study skills. I hate studying and I blew it off during Spanish I. I could have done a lot better if I would have just studied.
What helped me the most last year was doing the homework packets. They made me learn how to form sentences with the vocab words, and made me remember the words too. What hurt me the most was not keeping all of my study guides.
I think what helped me the most last year was when I actually took the time to do the homework packets, so I could really connect the words I'd memorized to real life. What hurt me was when I didn't study till a night or two before the test, or when I just went through the homework without rally taking the time to do it correctly.
The things that helped me the most last year was actually doing the homework packets and the work in the book and using the online book if I didn't get it done in class. What held me back the most was using things like Google translate too much.
Last year, what helped me the most was that I copy over all of my notes each night, that way I became familiar with the material. What hurt me the most was that I didn't do my study guides, which would have helped me a lot on the tests and quizzes.
Lizette Martinez Block 6 My best way to study is with a partener and review all the notes. My distraction is using my phone while im studying so i put it on silent and study.
Box Downs Block: 5th my best help was our homework an the review sheets it helped me out to prepare for the tests. using google translater made me weak because i relied on it so much it didnt help me out in the end.
What helped me last year was just study study study. Just 15 minutes everyday was just enough to help me learn all the words and phrases for that section. What made me weak was not reviewing the sections from earlier that year I had forgotten somethings and it really was a challenge.
