Chapter 10 Doing homework not for homework's sake - the way top students do their homework (1)
do you know?Top students are not like you who hate homework. They like doing homework and never think homework is a burden. You will experience it, but you will not understand it now.Top students like to find problems in the process of doing homework, and then solve the problem, summarize the problem, so that the problem no longer becomes a problem.

Top students know why homework is done.

In the eyes of some people, the so-called homework seems to mean endless questions, and they call homework "sin".The good time is spent on these endless "breaking questions", which is really "sinful".Since it is a "sin", can I cancel the homework?
Under the mentality of "doing evil", they had to do it casually in order to cope with the teacher's inspection.This attitude towards homework determines that they often have such a situation during the exam: when they get the test paper, they find that some of the questions on it have already been done when doing homework before.But for some reason, I just can't remember what to do!

Top students don’t see it this way, they know deeply:
The usual homework is carefully designed according to the teaching requirements of the course, and its purpose is to check the students' learning progress and provide a mutual feedback channel for the communication between teaching and learning;

Regular homework can help check your understanding and mastery of what you have learned, and determine whether you have sufficient preparation and ability to study the later parts of the course;

Homework can help you discover which parts need to be reviewed or relearned, and where you need to seek help from teachers and classmates;
Usually homework has a final submission date, urge yourself to follow the progress of the course, keep your learning progress in sync with the arrangement of the tutoring class, and be able to complete all learning units before the final exam;
Homework can help establish connections between current learning content and other content you have studied, help you connect learning content with personal experience, and encourage you to use what you have learned to solve problems.

Through the corrections and comments given by the tutor, help yourself discover and correct your misunderstanding of the learning content.The teacher's encouragement can also strengthen your confidence in learning.

Regular homework may also help you become familiar with the common question types and answering requirements for the course's final exam.

Knowing the benefits of homework after class, the top students always treat every homework actively, happily and seriously, and develop good habits.

What time to do homework every day, such as when to do Chinese homework, when to do math homework, when to practice English, ..., have formed a pattern and formed a habit.With this good habit, top students can automatically do their homework when they reach a fixed time. Moreover, when doing homework, they can concentrate and improve their performance. They will never let other things squeeze out the time for homework.

Top students review first and then do their homework.

Once upon a time there was a man who had two sons.One day, he gave each of his two sons a rusty hatchet and asked them to go to the mountain to chop wood.One son started to work when he arrived on the mountain, working very hard.The other son ran to the neighbor's house to borrow a whetstone and began to sharpen his knife.He didn't go up the mountain until the knife was sharpened.When the sun went down, both of them came back. The one who chopped the wood first brought back a small load of firewood, and the one who sharpened the knife first brought back a large load of firewood.The father asked the son who had a lot of firewood, how did you cut more firewood than you did first before you went up the mountain?He replied, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping wood. If the knife is not sharpened, how can it cut wood quickly?
This story means that only when the tools are ready, can things be done with less effort.

Reviewing before doing homework is equivalent to sharpening an ax before chopping wood.

Top students have a habit when doing homework. After preparing their learning tools and books and adjusting their mood, they are not busy doing their homework. Be clear about the basic principles and concepts, and think about what content, principles, and concepts have been covered in this class?What theorems and formulas were proposed?How are these theorems and formulas derived?What is the meaning and function?What is the relationship between them?Especially for example problems, it is necessary to understand and be clear about its typicality and representativeness. What methods are used when solving problems?What is the problem-solving idea?Where is the breakthrough and so on."Go through" the content, key points and key points that the teacher said in class in your mind like a movie. For questions or things you don't understand, open the textbook, class notes or related reference books to read, and grasp the content of the knowledge. Find out the ins and outs.

After the above tasks are completed, the top students will officially start to do their homework.As expected, the homework was done quickly and well.

Those who pick up their homework and do it, they think that reviewing first and then doing it will invisibly add another step to the homework, which will definitely prolong the time for doing homework, but the actual situation is just the opposite, because they plunge into homework and completely ignore the day. The key points and knowledge you have learned are easy to make mistakes when doing the questions, and you will encounter "blockers" from time to time. At this time, if you check the books, you will really prolong the time for homework!
Top students complete homework independently.

When you were a child, did you hear the following story:

Once upon a time, there was a rich family who gave birth to a precious son.Since this is the only boy of three generations of a wealthy family, the whole family regards him as a treasure, and even named him Yuanbao.Since Yuan Bao was born, he has grown up in the hands of his grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother. The young Yuan Bao gradually developed the bad habit of reaching out for clothes and opening his mouth for food. When I was 3 years old, I couldn't walk, I couldn't put on clothes by myself, and I couldn't eat by myself, so I had to be fed.One day his whole family was invited to a banquet, and Yuan Bao was sleeping at home. His mother hung a big pancake around his neck and told him: "If you are hungry, eat by yourself. Mom will be back soon." After a while, he was hungry, but he waited for his family to come back to feed him. He waited and waited, but his family never came back.When the family came back, they found that Yuan Bao had passed out from hunger...

Next, the storyteller will tell you: If a person doesn’t learn to be independent and always thinks about relying on others, when the critical moment comes, he must be the one who suffers...

People who depend on others cannot think independently, lack courage, and have poor judgment on things. They often fall into the dilemma of indecision, and will always need the encouragement and support of others, and rely on the help and judgment of others.

Dependence is the root cause of many people's inability to achieve great things. This habit is to pin their hopes on others, and they are unwilling to put in more effort.And the rule of success is to rely on yourself!Be independent!

Completing homework independently is the simplest interpretation of independence.Homework is a process of analyzing and solving problems, which is conducive to the development of thinking ability.To achieve the purpose of the homework and play its due role, you must use your own brains to analyze and solve problems independently.Copying other people's homework without using your own brain, this is a purely task-oriented view and a non-serious attitude, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Using the knowledge in the book, plus your own thinking, the answers you make will leave a deep impression on your mind.If you don't think independently, ask others for advice first, or copy your classmates' homework, the homework done in this way will not leave a deep impression.Top students will think independently when encountering a problem. If they can’t do it by themselves, they will turn over the book and read the notes to deeply understand the knowledge learned in class, and then further think about the knowledge learned in class and what this exercise is. Relationships are usually done like this.Sometimes the top students may also let go of this practice problem for the time being, and do other problems first, and then think about this practice problem. Maybe they can solve it after thinking about it.If you really can't do it, ask others for advice, or start a discussion with others.

In fact, in more cases, when encountering difficulties, top students feel that it is an excellent opportunity to cultivate their independence.They would rather contemplate for several days than ask teachers or others easily. When they solve problems alone, the great joy after victory is something that those who are poor in independence and give up on solving problems by themselves have no chance to taste.

In short, if a person has to rely on others even for homework, he has no habit of independent thinking, no habit of making decisions alone, relies on small things, and dare not make decisions on big things by himself, and has to live on others all his life, just like a person A dodder flower can only survive if it is wrapped around a big tree. This kind of life is meaningless!

Top students do not procrastinate in their homework.

Plot one:

Time: Saturday, 9:00.

Scene: Qiangqiang's family.

Characters: Dad and Qiangqiang.

Plot: Qiangqiang: Dad, I want to write an outline for a composition. I'll write after you see if it works.

Dad: Yes.

Time: 9:30.

Qiangqiang: Dad, can you see it?
Dad: Yes, write it.

Time: 10:30.

Qiangqiang: Dad, I'll take a break.

Dad: OK.

Time: 11:30.

Qiangqiang: Dad, I finished writing, can you take a look?I want to watch TV for a while.

Dad: It's best to do it in one go, go ahead, correct the typos, and copy it in the notebook.

Time: 12:00.

Qiangqiang: Dad, I am done.

Dad: What about copying?

Qiangqiang: Let’s talk after dinner!
This procrastinating strong might be you!

I can't sit still when I study, and I love to dawdle.I do my homework for an hour, stand up about 1 times, open the refrigerator for a while to see what is delicious; turn on the TV for a while to see if the cartoon has started; stand in front of the window for a while to see who is playing outside .

Some people who procrastinate in homework do it because they are playful; some procrastinate because they are not interested in learning;

Such as lack of concentration.Writing while playing, the mind always "travels in space".When I was doing my homework, I always thought about irrelevant things. When I thought about it, my eyes froze, my hand holding the pen stopped, and I smirked a few times from time to time.

Take it too seriously.Excessively strive for perfection, when writing, one stroke at a time, neither long nor short, write a word and wipe it several times, and even wipe the paper in the end.

But no matter what the situation is, you can't develop the habit of procrastinating homework.Today's study is completed on the same day, and there will be tomorrow's study tasks, and the difficulties will only accumulate.The most effective way to overcome homework procrastination is to urge yourself to finish the day's work every day.

In order for the top students to concentrate on completing their homework quickly, they try to create a quiet learning environment for themselves and avoid external stimuli.Clear away items that are not related to homework, and even write a few words on the desk, such as: do homework quickly or don't stay up late because of homework, etc.

Top students know how to seize the time when they have a lot of homework.In the arrangement of time, it should be tightened first and then loosened.They require themselves to be focused and finish their homework in one go.If you can't calm down and your condition is not good, you should stop doing it for now, but relax appropriately on the premise of seizing the time, so as to achieve a balance between work and rest.

Top students' homework steps.

The first step: knowledge preparation.

After the teacher assigns homework, the top students will not do it immediately, they have to review first.Before doing homework, briefly review the relevant content you have learned, master the concepts, theorems, formulas, and important content, clarify the knowledge system, and form an overall impression in your mind.In this way, when doing homework, you can be clear-headed, responsive, clear-minded, considerate, and handy.Otherwise, if you are not proficient in knowledge, you will hit a wall everywhere when you do the questions. Either the formula cannot be remembered, or the units are not unified, or the relevant content is confused, and the answer is off topic.

The second step: perceive and understand the meaning of the question.This step actually includes three links: reviewing questions, associating and classifying topics.

Reviewing questions means understanding the meaning of the questions, clarifying the conditions and problems in the questions, and clarifying the requirements of the questions.

If you are confused about the requirements of the question, ignore or omit some necessary conditions, or understand the meaning of the question wrongly, the problem solving will definitely not go smoothly.Therefore, we should develop a good habit. When solving any problem, we should list the following items: known, solution, solution, and write it carefully to prevent omissions.
