Success for Independent Learners Getting out of College Faster

Success for Independent Learners Getting out of College Faster Success for Independent Learners: Getting out of College Faster Success for Independent Learners: Getting out of College Faster There are many students out there who excel in a traditional school environment. However, it’s a struggle for independent learners to sit and endure the structure of a classroom day after day in high school and then repeat the same thing in college for another 4 to 5 years. Independent learners are often creative learners and good problem solvers, but theyre sometimes unaware of potentially beneficial avenues that can help them get their college degree faster and more effectively. 1. Take AP tests (without taking the course) The vast majority of students will only achieve a 3 or higher on their AP exams (AP exams are scored from 1 to 5 and a 3, 4 or 5 is considered a passing score) if they take the full year AP course, however, a few students can study for these exams on their own or with a private Irvine tutor and still receive a passing score. Its a little-known fact that students are not required to take the AP course to take the exam. Students who are either highly independent learners or those who wish to take an AP exam other than what is offered at school may be able to get several credits out of the way before entering college (READ: Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam). 2. CLEP tests Independent learners may also do well on CLEP tests, also offered by the College Board. CLEP stands for College-Level Examination Program and offers independent learners a chance to demonstrate their mastery of college-level material by taking an exam rather than the course. Although the CLEP tests were originally designed to aid nontraditional students, such as those who were homeschooled or had a nontraditional high school education, members of the military entering college after their service, or adult students returning to school later in life, traditional high school students can also take advantage of the CLEP exams as well. Independent learners can potentially take multiple exams and avoid several months sitting in a classroom reviewing material they already know. 3. Community college credit Although most students are unaware, many universities allow enrolled students to take a certain number of credits at a community college. This can benefit students who will be living back at home during the summer and want to get a few credits out of the way. This is an especially good option for students who were locked out of the class they wanted to take for their major or who would like to save a lot of money by paying community college fees instead of university fees. Community college credit is a great option for independent and determined students (READ: Staying Focused at Community College). 4. Independent study within the university Independent learners can often earn several credits towards graduation by signing up for an independent study course. Its recommended that students sign up for an independent study with a professor they already have a good professional relationship with and one who is willing to meet with them once every two weeks or so to check on progress. Although independent study courses are self-led by the student, and the professor serves primarily as a guide, its a great option for an independent learner who doesnt want any more time in the classroom. This type of class can also demonstrate the ability to complete tasks, meet deadlines, and develop leadership skills that are valuable to future employers (READ: Choosing a Major in College). In short Although the traditional educational system works for many students, there are some highly independent learners who simply cannot stand to sit in a classroom any longer than they already have. Such students can take advantage of multiple exams and little-known avenues of opportunity that can help them get out of college in less than four years and save them a bundle of money. However, students should do research ahead of time to ensure that the university they attend (or want to attend) will except all of these CLEP, AP, and independent study credits prior to putting in the time to take these exams and courses.

How is Kumon Different from School Math

How is Kumon Different from School Math How is Kumon Different from School Math? Dribble, pass, shoot! Young soccer players complete endless drills learning these core skills before ever using them in a game. When it comes time to apply them in an actual competition, the moves come automatically. Similarly, many violinists learn proper hand positioning before they ever pick up a bow. When they begin to play, they’re simply stringing together the basic skills they’ve already mastered. What do soccer and the violin have to do with Kumon? Just as athletes and musicians learn skills before applying them in games or performances, students in Kumon learn math skills before applying them in real-life situations. This is a key difference between Kumon Math and the math that is taught in most school systems in North America. It’s also what makes Kumon the perfect supplement to school math. Mathematics vs. the Application of Mathematics While school curriculums can vary significantly, most school math programs teach the application of math. That means that students learn math as it is used in the real world. For example, students might learn addition through scenarios like, “Emma has one apple in her basket. She adds one more apple to the basket. Emma now has two apples.” This may seem like an intuitive way to learn mathâ€"after all, that’s how most of us were introduced to adding. And what’s the point of learning math if you can’t use it in the real world? As the math concepts get more difficult, the real-life application gets more complex, compounding the problem. A naturally talented soccer player may be able to excel on a recreational team without having honed her skills, but as the level of competition gets more difficult, her skill gaps will become more apparent. Similarly, a math student may be able to grasp basic concepts with little practice, but as the math gets more challenging, the gaps will begin to show. Kumon Math Unlike school, Kumon teaches strictly mathematics. In Kumon, it is not technically necessary to understand how to apply 1+1=2 in the real world. Students simply must learn that 1+1=2 is a true statement. Students then learn that 2+1=3, 3+1=4, and so on. Math is taught incrementally, with students progressing step-by-step from counting all the way through calculus. As students do not need to have real world experience to learn what is strictly mathematics, even elementary school students can progress to algebra and beyond. Eventually, as students’ number sense and real world experience come together, they are able to apply what they’ve learned in different contexts. Some might find it counterintuitive to learn mathematics without its applications. After all, why learn what one plus one equals if you can’t make the connection that adding one penny to another equals two cents? However, once a student has learned a math concept, they then have an easier time learning how to apply it. Some math application is included in the Kumon Program, but it is only introduced once a student has mastered the mathematical concepts. Without a strong base in the necessary math skills, students will reach a point where applying math is too difficult.  Just as a soccer player learns how to dribble the ball before applying that skill in a game, students should learn math skills before applying the concepts in real life situations.
