How Do You Learn?
Deanna Mascle

When I was in junior high and high school I really had to work hard to earn good grades. Then my freshman year in high school I made a marvelous discovery. I learned how to study.

I had been practising good study habits for years, but the problem was that the methods I had been taught were not the most effective for my particular learning style. When I discovered, quite by accident, the methods that were the best match for my individual learning style the difference was
immediately apparent. My grades increased and I had to spend a lot less time studying to achieve those better results!

Pursuing an online MBA
Nazim Rahman

If you are a successful professional seeking growth, you probably don’t have the time or flexibility to attend a normal MBA program even if the classes are offered in the evenings. This is the primary reason online MBA programs are becoming increasingly successful. An online MBA degree is a popular choice of mid-career professionals who want to earn a degree but don’t want to sacrifice their career and family life.

Create a Resume That Comes Alive
Lou Clark

More often than not, resumes are your first introduction to an organization – giving them the responsibility of persuading the reader to want more. It is common for individuals to agonize over writing a resume and more often than not the finished product looks more like a career obituary or personal statement than a first class ticket to your dream job. A resume is an advert, an advert that introduces an individual, their career achievements to date and predicts how they will perform in their next role.

Continuing Education Online
Tim Henry

All you need to get started in continuing education online is a computer with Internet access and an appetite to learn. Once you have those things you can begin your journey in distance learning on any subject matter and any interests you want to follow.

Continuing education online is very different from learning in a traditional classroom but the results are very much the same. You may even find some aspects of online learning to be more conducive to your continuing education.

How to Study for a Math Test: A practical action plan that will help you
Susan Kruger

When I was a student and teachers would say, "Study for your math test!" I would think, "How do I 'study' for a math test?" I now realize that 'study' is the wrong verb. You really need to 'practice' for a math test.

Math tests not only require you to KNOW material, they require you to know HOW TO DO something with that material. This shift requires a shift in your preparation. Unlike other tests, there is no way to prepare for a math test the night before. At that point, you either know the material or you don't, but there is no faking.

What You Should Know About Scholarships

When it's time to go to college, the word "scholarship" is confusing for both students and parents. We automatically think about student loans, FAFSA, tuition and fees, EFC, grants, and work study. But what we don't realize is that knowing more about the scholarship process could save us thousands of dollars when trying to cover the cost of our kids' education.

Scholarships are "free money" given away by the government, private institutions and organizations, charitable foundations, schools, universities, clubs, etc. Unlike loans, scholarships are not repaid to the scholarship provider.
