Winning Tip submitted by Laurissa Noack, Texas A&M at Galveston:

Create a google doc that is shared amongst classmates. Each student predicts exam questions over a different chapter that the exam will cover. Once everyone contributes, there will be a comprehensive practice exam for everyone to practice with.

Other tips submitted:

• Take the time to learn about learning. Finding multiple strategies that work that you can apply to multiple courses that will be instrumental to your long-term success.
  
• Go To Class, Be Engaged, Ask Questions, Take Notes, Study
  
• Telling students that they are scholars - this is especially true for the first-generation students.
  
• Come early and often! Don't wait until you don't understand a concept to come to tutoring. Read the syllabus.
  
• Assess Learning Early & Often.
  
• If your institution has the ability to print an exam analysis (we use ExamSoft) it is helpful to show students where their weaker areas of Bloom are then how to identify what type of multiple-choice Q is (at BT level) so they can shift their thinking during next exam
  
• Don't forget the importance of taking time to check-in with self on a regular basis.
  
• Find a strategy that works for you.
  
• Creating your own mock exams! Quizzes! Start making your study guide on day one. Do the reading!
  
• Test Autopay: Reviewing what went wrong and what went correct.

• Keep your classrooms student centered
  
• Build a close relationship with one professor each semester
  
• If students are nervous during a test, start with the end (essay) and work backwards. I tell them it should be something they know, they'll feel confident and their brain will have time to relax
  
• Don't sweat the small stuff - eat and sleep
  
• At the beginning of the term, get to know the students - engage with each of them like working a room as a networking event. This is an excellent way to initiate and understanding of the power of relationships and genuine engagement

Winning Tip submitted by Donna Dahlgren, Indiana University Southeast:

Take attendance at beginning of each class by having each student answer fun questions. What's your favorite book? Favorite food? Favorite class? Breaks the ice as you are taking attendance and all the students get to know each other and you. As the semester progresses students look forward to the start of each class.

Other tips submitted:

• (For Students) Review your class notes right after class ends and scan your notes in the evening for each class. When finals are coming up and looking at your notes will be easy to remember for final exam.
  
• For students: Go to your instructor's office hour on week 1 or 2 and introduce yourself. Spend 5-10 minutes max. Tell them why you are taking the class, and where it fits with your educational goals/plan.
  
• Schedule your study time/have a study plan
  
• Always Think On Paper Take a piece of paper and write down everything you intend to do. Include everything, even your plans to eat a healthy lunch and workout, prepare dinner for you and your family, every detail. Then organize the piece of paper by asking yourself: "If I could only do one thing on this list today, which one thing would it be?" And if I could only do two things which would be the second and the third? And then when you start first thing in the morning, start off with number one, and discipline yourself to work only on number one until it's complete. Then move on to number two.
  
• In online classes, when students first log log on to the course site, they are often overwhelmed by the multiple navigation buttons and the amount of information on the site, and don't know where to start. So all of my online course sites include a "Start Here" navigation button, and an announcement saying, "Before you do anything else, click the START HERE" button." When they do so, students see a short video that demonstrates how to navigate the course.
  
• In our course management system, we created a class site called "The Faculty Lounge" and enrolled all of our faculty in it. It is a repository of "how to" information about a variety of topics related to teaching and learning. For example, it includes suggestions about writing effective tests, using rubrics, classroom formative assessment, classroom management strategies, technology tips and tricks, and links to upcoming professional development opportunities on and off-campus (like the always valuable Innovative Educator webinars). It also includes a discussion board area where faculty can share their ideas, successes, and failures.
  
• Incorporate retrieval practice into your study routine to ensure that you truly remember and understand what you learned. Examples of retrieval practice include flashcards, teaching concepts, and re-writing study tools from memory.
  
• I email the entire class after every class meeting--I include highlights and homework, reminders, but never spam stuff--this keeps the students connected,
• acts as a calendar at the end of the semester, and gives them a study guide.
  
• Have students/tutees adopt a growth mindset
  
• When going over a homework problem, I will show the answer and ask students to explain the answer. I teach accounting so I will show the completed journal and ask for volunteers to explain how they knew to debit and credit each account involved. It really helps the ones who do not know how to do it correctly yet and because the answer is onn the screen the whole time they are not rushed to check their work.
  
• Write a letter to yourself at the start of the term, your plans for success for the term.
• Reread the letter each week and see if you are on track.
  
• If a student is yawning, then I call on them next.
  
• Remember - there are NO stupid questions! You don't know what you don't know...so ask!
  
• My best tip for students is to not fall behind. It's easy to do and can cause massive problems as the semester goes on.
  
• As faculty, we need to be people of integrity and model that for our students. This means we say what we mean, mean what we say, and hold students to a high standard, starting small at first, then building to bigger expectations. Since students rise or fall to our expectations, let's give them a good reputation to live up to, encourage them like crazy, and hold them accountable. Giving them "a break" in the small assignments early in the semester teaches them that we won't expect them to perform.
  
• Have a multi-staged approach to teaching. That means students should expect to learn in stages through multiple activities and level of independent and supported learning and faculty should consciously think about activities to cover a concept in a building manner.
  
• Be Prepared When You Walk Through The Classroom Door
  
• Give options to students, so that students can choose what plays to their strengths!
  
• Communication - Open and always
  
• My best student success tip is to ask for help.
  
• Student: A great way to study is OUT LOUD - teach a family member, friend, etc about a topic or term from your course. This will strengthen your memory and grasp of the concept. Be Great!
  
• When you are struggling, be open to seeking help and use all of the resources available to you--instructors, academic advisor, tutoring services, and the success office.
  
• Embedding Micro-Collaborations with the Library: students can participate in undergraduate research conferences in the library, submitting best writing awards sponsored by the library, and be encouraged to write and share their experiences in library's website (blog) and best essays or creative works featured in library's digital repository (OA journal)
  
• Find your go-to person...you know the person on campus who wants nothing more than to see you succeed and will work to ensure you have access to the tools needed to aid in your success!
  
• For the last 10 minutes of class I have a class discussion of material presented and connect this to other parts of the class or other classes - making connections like a food web rather than learning just a food chain.
  
• Be sure to check in with an Academic Advisor each semester prior to enrolling in classes! You might be enrolling in the correct classes for your degree, but there might be another degree that lines up more closely with your desired career goals.
  
• Mindfulness
  
• For students: Enter this chapter of your life with an open mind, open heart and a drive to learn and grow with the help of those around you. Pride can be a barrier to your success.
  
• Challenge yourself to take the ordinary moments of your educational experience and view them as extraordinary opportunities to learn and grow.
  Meet with an academic advisor early on! They can help you decide what program to take, plan your courses, make a schedule and put you in contact with valuable on campus supports.
  
• When you are reading textbooks or class notes, read out loud and record yourself on a device. Then you can listen to your recording when you are on the bus, stuck in traffic, waiting for a dr. appointment! A great way to maximize your study time!
  
• Every time you think of a question for your advisor, write it down on a note in your phone. The next time you meet with your academic advisor, you will have a list of questions ready to go!
  
• Never doubt your knowledge or ability. Spend your time reminding yourself you know the material and that you'll be fine doing whatever you need to do.
  
• Use your electives to explore! You never know where studying a new area can take you
  
• Don't wait until you are doing poorly to ask for help - trust your gut and seek out resources before it's too late to turn things around!
  
• Listen & Silent are spelled with the same letters. Think about it.
  
• Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit
  
• Survey your students at the start of your course to find out their interests, and provide opportunities for them to connect those interests to their learning activities and assessments.
  
• Develop good time management skills
  
• For faculty- keep in mind that during practice and active learning not every written assignment needs graded they writing is valuable to the students along any learning process but don't get bogged down in grading ex... every math problem during the practice new learning phase spot checking a few can pick out where the student is still struggling vs getting it on their own
  
• Show up both mentally and physically
  
• Visit during faculty office hours - build relationships
  
• Using a planner to help prioritize and keep track of assignments. And, use the three step planning method, end of the day, beginning of the day and a week review.
  
• Volunteer in your community in area related to your field of study. It is an opportunity to not only make a positive difference and add experience to your resume, but it can connect with you a professional mentor that can guide and empower you to not maintain student retention but achieve student graduation.
• Graduation is not the end, it is only the beginning of the career that you have prepared for.
  
• Show up!
  
• Make sure the college/university you choose fits you like your favorite pair of jeans. The ones you want to wear everyday!
  
• Beware of submitting assignments in on-line classes right before the deadline, especially if it's a midnight deadline. Many IT Offices use that late night time frame to do computer upgrades, and you don't want an on-time submission to get confounded by an IT update. Set your own deadline for yourself well before that time--perhaps in an otherwise "dead" hour you have between other classes.
  
• Show students that you care about them
  
• "You can't show what you don't know!"
  
• "Everyone can learn one more thing!"
  
• When students come in to register for tutoring, I meet with them to go over their schedule and determine what times work for their schedule...My strategy - they need to treat their day like a work day..free times during the day should be spent in the Academic Success Center actively being tutored, studying, or working on assignments. Computers and free printing are also available - no going back to the dorm! It is amazing how many students are following this routine and staying on track with assignments and receiving assistance as needed! This has fostered strong time management skills as well. In conjunction with the Athletic Department, student athletes can use tutoring time as their required study hall hours. It's a busy place!
  
• Communication with instructors is key to success
  
• Faculty Tip: Utilize different methods of teaching or instructing students who are auditory learners, visual learners, and or tactile learners. A short learning style survey for your students will help to identify their styles.

At that appointment, they register for classes. Last, we host a new student welcome day where they go to sessions for their pathway, where they learn about their industry. Once that is over, they can set tours, meet clubs and organizations, and take care of last-minute business with the offices. Breaking up info this way keeps them from information overload.
  
• Get to know your students. Take the journey with them.
  
• Each course should be taught with a personal quality that encourages students to come to class.
  
• Don't talk - listen, instead. Listen both to what your students say and what they don't say.
  
• As instructors, we need to change up our teaching every 10-15 minutes. A punctuated lesson.
  
• If you never ask, you'll never know.
  
• Trust the small steps to reach the "main goal."
  
• Always listen, be kind and just be there to provide support. Making a connection with students really makes a difference and affects their success.

• Using handwriting when taking notes increases memorization & embeds info in the brain
  
• Find balance in everything!
  
• Use online resources to cement your learning
  
• Remember when writing a paper, you're not writing the great American novel! First draft is just a page of info.
  
• A picture is worth 100 vocabulary words: for students in intro biology, psychology, anatomy, etc., there is a tendency to focus primarily on terms/bold faced words in text books & ppt. The higher part of "higher learning" require students to apply, analyze, evaluate, problem solve, etc. Knowing words & their definitions does NOT prepare a student to this. Instead, before reading textbooks (and before class for pre-readings) find the biggest most colorful visuals in that section. Connect the name of the section to the pic. Identify the key vocab demonstrated in the pic. And try to figure out, without reading, what the pic is telling you. Next, look for any additional ic that are fullouts from big pics & note vocab associated with smaller idea. Recreate this with labels & description of process on whiteboard
  
• Ask, seek, move. 1: Ask for help, ask for advice, ask "HOW". 2: seek out resources. 3: Move - put feet to your pursuit
