Grammar and Spelling

Grammar and spelling are extremely important in writing. Don’t turn in any writing assignment that has not used an electronic and/or a human spelling and grammar check.

It is a good idea to run grammar check when using a word processing program. It may help to keep a grammar usage handbook handy through your academic career so you can refresh your memory on rules regarding commas, semicolons and colons. Be sure to check for dangling and misplaced modifiers. Watch your parallelism and consistency in language.

Spelling errors are common, even on computers. If you know you have a spelling problem, keep a notebook or sheet of words you commonly misspell so you can check them in a paper. Have a spelling or word book handy. Another good idea is to keep a list of common spelling rules, such as the “I” before “e” except after “C” saying. You can refer back to this list while writing.
Always spell check documents on a word processor. When you are proofreading your writing, look for spelling errors. Look for words that you know that you frequently misspell.

It is often a good idea to get another person to look at your document. That person may spot an error that you did not see because you knew in your mind how it should read, not how it was printed. Keep a dictionary handy when writing. You may want to use a traditional dictionary or an online one. Whatever is easiest and works best for you is what you should use. Take advantage of any and all tutoring or assistance programs available to you.

studying

f you think that studying is something you do in preparation for an exam tomorrow, then you are in for a major surprise at university! Of course you have to prepare for exams, but for good students this consists simply of a review of material they have already worked at understanding and learning. If you have to work at understanding and learning lecture notes and text chapters the night before an exam (or even a couple of days before the exam) then you are 'way behind! All that should have been done the day you were first presented with the material and by subsequent review in the weeks following. Any problems in understanding have long been cleared up by asking questions in class or during office hours.

So, "studying" is something you are doing constantly during the semester as you attempt to master (understand and learn) the material. To do this you have to work with your lecture notes and text readings. Before an exam you merely review what you already know.
