			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>7 steps to help you cram for a test.</em></p>
<p>Faced with multiple college exams over the coming days, you know that some exams will come easy while others will be a challenge. Likely, there is one exam that will require for you to invest an extra amount of studying. Cramming is how you&#8217;ll get prepared and I&#8217;m going to show you how to do that and get a higher grade.</p>
<p><strong>1. Plan your time</strong> – If your exam is tomorrow, then there is no way to guarantee that you&#8217;ll get a good grade. What you need is several days to study and prepare, something you can do by setting aside several blocks of time. This means that if you&#8217;re working part-time while taking classes, you should ask to be relieved of your work while you&#8217;re studying.</p>
<p><strong>2. Get plenty of rest</strong> – A well rested body is one that is ready to study. If you are tired, you&#8217;ll find it difficult to sleep. Get adequate sleep leading up to your exam and you&#8217;ll be able to concentrate on your studying and focus on your test.</p>
<p><strong>3. Set a goal</strong> – If you&#8217;re a “C” student, you may find it a challenge to ace your exam. Be realistic – if a “B” is within reach, then aim for that grade. You&#8217;ll get all worked up for nothing if your expectations are not realistic and may end up with a low grade after all.</p>
<p><strong>4. Review your notes</strong> – Your notes will go far in helping you to do well on your exam. If you&#8217;ve taken good notes, then you&#8217;re all set. If not, you&#8217;ll need to beg, plead and borrow notes from another classmate. These days, your professor may post those notes online. However you receive them, you&#8217;ll want to have them organized for studying.</p>
<p><strong>5. Break it down</strong> – You&#8217;ll need to divide your notes up into segments. For example, if there are four main topics that will be on your final exam, then you can divide up your notes accordingly. Take each topic and study block by block. Or, divide your notes into manageable segments and study bit by bit. Consider rewriting your notes on 3&#215;5 index cards as a way to retain what you&#8217;ve learned and to highlight the key points. Yes, you can do this just as easily on your laptop or tablet.</p>
<p><strong>6. Get some rest, eat</strong> – Cramming all at once will make it more difficult for you to retain what you&#8217;ve learned. You&#8217;ll grow tired, hungry and your mind will wander. Get some rest by taking a nap, heading off to bed at night or both. Limit your carbs, eat fish and other brain foods and go light on the coffee.</p>
<p><strong>7. Pull it together</strong> – Just before you head off to class, do a quick review of your notes. Look over your index cards and concentrate on the one area where you are weakest. If you have trouble remembering a point, form an <a title="acrostic" href="http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTIM_14-Acrostics.htm">acrostic</a>. For example, MADS can stand for multiply, add, divide and subtract, four elements of math. This is a simple example, so come up with your own memorable acrostic to help you succeed.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re ready to take your exam, pace yourself. If you don&#8217;t understand a question or cannot complete an essay, then move on and work on what you already know. Save the rest for last, allowing enough time to reread the question and to formulate your response.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is April and you haven’t started your term paper yet. Shame on you! Seriously, procrastination is an art form and it can be fun to watch panicked students on library computers searching for ideas on what to write and how to get the job done fast.</p>
<p>That is, of course, the wrong approach to take &#8212; your ideas should be based on what your professor explained to you in class and likely reiterated through a hand out or a posting and updates to his web page. Click over to his site to find out what he wants and then take it from there.</p>
<h3>15 Tips</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/200px-Australian_State_Route_15.svg_.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5210" title="200px-Australian_State_Route_15.svg" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/200px-Australian_State_Route_15.svg_.png" alt="" width="200" height="188" /></a>If you need help getting organized and getting going, the following 15 tips can bring you through the entire process from concept to completion:</p>
<p><strong>1. What she or he said</strong> &#8212; What matters most when writing a term paper is finding out what your professor wants and writing accordingly. Do anything differently and you’ll be performing an exercise in pointlessness. Your grade will reflect such carelessness.</p>
<p><strong>2. Start. right. now.</strong> &#8212; With just weeks left in the semester, you need to put off the delays and start your project RIGHT NOW. You’ve lost precious time already which means you need to ditch the frat party or tell your significant other to wait.</p>
<p><strong>3. Start googling</strong> &#8212; Plug key words and phrases into Google and watch what springs up. The top quality results are what you will make note of and visit for more information. Visit .edu and .gov websites for reliable sources; toss out anything that is suspect.</p>
<p><strong>4. Stay out of trouble</strong> &#8212; Online term paper mills are enticing and are one way many students have met the grade. They’re also dishonest and a reflection of your character and the poor decisions you are prone to make later in life. Stay away from them.</p>
<p><strong>5. Write or type legibly</strong> &#8212; Your notes should be clear or at least understandable to you. You don’t have to include complete sentences, but you should be able to figure out what you mean without retracing your steps. In any case, bookmark your sites for later reference.</p>
<p><strong>6. Cite with care</strong> &#8212; Citations are the crux of every term paper which means you’ll need to find out which style your professor wants. That’s usually MLA &#8212; electronic sources are considered web publications and should be formatted as such states <a title="Purdue OWL" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/">Purdue OWL</a>.</p>
<p><strong>7. Write up an outline </strong>&#8211; Take your idea &#8212; you have one, right? &#8212; and put it down on paper.  Create an outline which will help you to build a very rough first draft. You need to accomplish this task right away or you’ll never get your paper started.</p>
<p><strong>8. Collaborate with students</strong> &#8212; Likely, you’re allowed to work with other students, although the information in your term paper must be unique to yourself. Share ideas, but don’t give away important information that you need to include in your report.</p>
<p><strong>9. Meet with your professor</strong> &#8212; Don’t make an appointment with your professor until you have at least written your first draft. At this stage of the semester you should be nearly done, but your prof can help you if you’re stuck or need direction.</p>
<p><strong>10. Revise. trim. update. </strong>&#8211; If you’re feeling rather good about your term paper at this time, think again. Review your prose, rewriting whatever sounds stilted or can’t be supported by raw data. Remove extraneous phrases and eliminate repetitive material.</p>
<p><strong>11. Take a break </strong>&#8211; If you’ve worked fast and furious to catch up, that’s a good thing. It could also spell trouble if you haven’t given yourself a break. Put your paper to the side, find something else to do and come back to one or two days later when you are refreshed.</p>
<p><strong>12. Use live sources</strong> &#8212; Relying on the Internet may be fine, but if you’re looking for an edge, then contacting and interviewing a source can benefit your paper. Record your interview and take notes too. Compare both to come up with quotable, quality material. Follow <a title="interview guidelines" href="http://www.managementhelp.org/evaluatn/intrview.htm">general guidelines</a> for conducting a successful interview.</p>
<p><strong>13. Write to word or page count</strong> &#8212; Falling short of what your professor requires can hurt you. Double space your paper and turn word count on to ensure that your paper meets minimum requirements. Don’t pad your paper; add substantive information only.</p>
<p><strong>14. Pull it all together</strong> &#8212; You’re ready to finish up which means you’re going to put the finishing touches on your masterpiece. Check for grammar, spelling and syntax problems and recheck your sources. Have a friend proof your entire paper.</p>
<p><strong>15. Hand it in</strong> &#8212; Have your term paper completed at least one day before it is due. You’ll need that margin to carefully include the finishing touches. Review your professor’s guidelines to insure that every point required has been met and then turn it in.</p>
<h3>Stress Pond</h3>
<p>Next time, start your term paper as soon as your professor assigns it to you. You’ve made it through the stress pond this time, but anxiety has taken its toll and you’re weary from the battle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By Matt Deo</em></p>
<p>Whether you go to a state school, private school, boarding school or college, exams are a part of life. So what are the best techniques to use when revising?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10a.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4088" title="10a" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10a.png" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>1. Plan a revision timetable and make sure you stick to it. Allocate your time to ensure that all your subjects will be covered sufficiently. Factor in some time for breaks so you do not feel guilty if you stop for a cup of tea or to watch your favourite TV programme. Put your timetable somewhere where the whole family can see it so they will know when to remind you to study and when you are not to be disturbed. They will also know not nag you if you are on a timetabled break!</p>
<p>2. Revise efficiently. Reading alone is not effective. You will need to be making notes, highlighting key words and testing yourself. Make revision cards and take them everywhere with you. Each card should have a few key words or phrases on it to act as reminders.</p>
<p>3. Make sure your notes from lessons are complete. If you have missed any lessons or homework check with classmates or your teacher that you have copied up everything you need.</p>
<p>4. Practise your exam technique. All the exam boards have websites from where you can download past exam questions and papers, along with sample answers. Practise completing an exam paper in the correct length of time. This will teach you how long to spend on individual questions. Doing past papers is also a useful way of highlighting what you know and what you need to work on. Ask your teacher to look over the paper and give you feedback.</p>
<p>5. Revise with friends, but only if you can avoid chatting about last night&#8217;s TV. Ask each other questions; discuss the answers and share revision tips and techniques.</p>
<p>6. Avoid distractions. When you are revising, turn off your mobile phone and switch off your computer. That way, you will not be tempted to text your best mate or waste 10 minutes browsing on the internet.</p>
<p>7. Use your time efficiently. We are generally at our most awake and receptive in the mornings. If you can, plan to start your revision by around 9am and concentrate on the subjects you find difficult or dislike. Not only will you feel good about getting the worst subjects out of the way early, but you will find them easier to deal with when you are not tired.</p>
<p>8. Explore various memory techniques. You may find some work for you better than others, but they are all worth a try. Many people swear by mnemonics, whereby you create a memorable sentence using words starting with the same first letter as the words you are trying to remember. For example, one revision website suggests My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas as a reminder of the planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto).</p>
<p>9. Eat properly. It is easy whilst revising to either snack on comfort foods such as chocolate and crisps or to forget about eating completely. Instead, take a tip from the top sportsmen and women and snack on a banana. The potassium in the fruit will increase your energy levels.</p>
<p>10. Believe in yourself. Keep telling yourself &#8220;I can do this&#8221; and you will find that you can!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Copyediting isn’t just for journalists. College students, who typically write several papers each semester, must do likewise or risk being penalized for academic or grammatical sloppiness.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/power.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4431" title="power" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/power-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a>What is the best approach to take when writing? Is it best to edit “on the go” or simply write everything out first and make those edits later? Either option can work, but there is one thing that should always be considered by students as they do their work: time. Time, as in allowing for enough of it to do your research, to confirm your facts, review your writing and prepare your drafts before making and submitting a final copy.</p>
<p>Unlike journalists, college students work without the benefit of an editor, unless you consider the professor grading the assignment to occupy that role. However, by the time your professor reads your work, you’ll have no chance for a revision which means that your grade will be based upon that final copy.</p>
<p>There are certain steps you can take to ensure a good grade on your report or paper:</p>
<p><strong>Just the facts</strong> &#8212; Use facts to prove your points instead of relying upon conjecture. Stating “people say” or “studies show” will result in a lower grade. Instead use, “according to&#8230;” or “Joe Miller says&#8230;” or “the Wine Institute states&#8230;” to demonstrate credibility. Consider interviewing someone personally if they are in expert in the topic at hand.</p>
<p><strong>Use citations</strong> &#8212; Whether included in footnotes or end notes, citing sources properly is the only way to go. There are five academic citation methods out there, but only one is mandated by your professor. Use that style and make use of an online tool such as Son of Citation Machine (www.citationmachine.net) to help you list yours correctly.</p>
<p><strong>Review a style manual</strong> &#8212; Some professors require that students follow style guidelines when writing their papers. If you’re a journalism major, then that would be the A/P Stylebook. Your college or department may have its own guidelines &#8212; if so, follow those  precisely.</p>
<p><strong>Make use of technology</strong> &#8212; Every word processing program includes a spell checker &#8212; use it! If a grammar checker is available, use it too. However, there is nothing available that can substitute for the human eye &#8212; when you’re done with your paper put it down and sleep on it. Review it the following day when your perspective is fresh.</p>
<p><strong>Confirm that it passes copyright </strong>&#8211; Are the words in your paper your own? Did you cite everything properly? Use a plagiarism checker to confirm that your paper is clean (www.dustball.com) &#8212; your professor certainly will!</p>
<p><strong>Final checks </strong>&#8211; When your final draft is ready for review, read it aloud. There is something about “giving voice” to your edits which can make a difference in how your paper reads. Consider asking a roommate to check your paper too &#8212; a second set of eyes can make a huge difference for you.</p>
<p>By following the previously mentioned six steps carefully, you can raise your grade accordingly. Your professors will base their grade on a number of factors including research, style, citation and grammar. Allow for plenty of time too because a rushed paper invariably results in a lower grade as mistakes crop up.</p>
<p><strong><em>Adv.</em></strong> &#8212; If you&#8217;re heading off to college next fall, you&#8217;ll need to plan carefully now in order to make sure you meet your application deadlines. <a title="OfftoCollege.com" href="http://www.offtocollege.com">OfftoCollege.com</a> has free planning tools to help you track you stay on track.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ideally, you’ll head off to college and your tuition, room and board, books and other expenses will be covered. No concern about money &#8212; that worry is out of your hands.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/college-student-oval1.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4253" title="college-student-oval1" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/college-student-oval1.png" alt="" width="250" height="286" /></a>Few students leave for college without financial concerns unless their parents scrimped and saved or are wealthy, or have managed to get a full-ride academic or athletic scholarship or they have chosen the low-cost community college route to start their education.</p>
<p>That leaves the rest of us &#8212; probably the overwhelming majority of students who are expected to contribute at least some money to their education. If possible, you don’t want to borrow any money to pay for college, but that scenario may not be avoidable unless you are working while in school.</p>
<p>Juggling college and work can be done, but only if you are disciplined and have your goals set before you. Let’s take a look at some ways you can work while attending school:</p>
<p><strong>1. Determine what you need</strong> &#8212; Working while you’re in college can give you a leg up on your classmates as you’ll have experience under your belt when you graduate, an edge that can help you when you seek a career oriented job. Conversely, you could be tempted to work too much and neglect your studies or drag out your college years longer than you prefer.</p>
<p><strong>2. Be realistic</strong> &#8212; You may have plans to graduate with your class, but those plans may not be attainable if you need to work many hours each week while trying to carry a full load. Better to spread your classes out over five to six years and still get good grades then to carry a full load, work full time and barely pass college.</p>
<p><strong>3. Find a related job </strong>&#8211; If you must work, why not find employment in the field you’re planning to pursue upon graduation? For example, if you are studying to become a veterinarian, then working as a vet assistant will put some cash in your pocket while also giving you understanding how a practice is set up. You’ll acquire valuable basic skills, work closely with a practicing veterinarian and you may have a job lined up after graduation or at least obtain a strong professional recommendation.</p>
<p><strong>4. Stick with it</strong> &#8212; You may not find a dream job while in school, but if it covers your college costs and more then you have what you need. This job is only temporary even if it lasts while you’re in college. Stay at it and you’ll finish school with your bills paid and no student loans hanging over your head.</p>
<p>Finally, let others know what you’re doing including your professors, college advisor and friends. When people see what kind of work-study load you are carrying, you may gain a sympathetic ear or perhaps catch a break when an assignment is due.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You made it through high school with high honors, but college has proven to be more challenging than  expected. You no longer stand out among your peers, rather you&#8217;re an average student judging by your grades.</p>
<p>But, buying into a label, including “I am an average student,” can be destructive. You&#8217;re not an average student—you&#8217;re a high achieving student who needs to refine her approach to college in order to enjoy better grades. Don&#8217;t let your current GPA define who you are—reach higher and you&#8217;ll soon see marked improvements.</p>
<h3>Study Tips</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/college-student-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4148" title="college-student-3" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/college-student-3.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Let&#8217;s take a look at some ways you can improve your grade point average (GPA), perhaps even garnering that coveted 4.0 average for the semester:</p>
<p><strong>Why are you there?</strong> This question needs to be answered by every college student. Are you attending school to increase your knowledge and job marketability or to party? Likely, you&#8217;re somewhere in between. However, if your goal is to increase your GPA, then letting certain extracurricular activities slide is the best way to ensure better grades.</p>
<p><strong>Juggle your classes.</strong> You&#8217;ll want to carry a full load every semester if you want to graduate with your class. That&#8217;s achievable, but balance your class load between courses that are difficult and those which you find easier to handle. Too difficult a road and you&#8217;ll find it hard to get good grades in each class. Too easy a road and you may slack off. Seek balance.</p>
<p><strong>Attend your classes.</strong> Knowledge is cumulative, therefore plan on attending every class unless you are desperately ill. Listen carefully, take notes and, if your professor posts related material online, read that information regularly. Ask your professor for help if you don&#8217;t understand something.</p>
<p><strong>Study with care.</strong> Cramming for tests does little for you in the long run. Sure, your short term memorization can yield a good grade, but as far as long term retention goes, you&#8217;re toast. Find a quiet place to study, set up a regular study schedule and take breaks from time to time.</p>
<p><strong>Complete your assignments. </strong>Start your term papers early enough in order to carefully manage your time. You&#8217;ll need to properly source your information, culling extraneous information and fluff in order to refine your work. All of this takes time, therefore start early and present all term papers and reports by the due date.</p>
<p><strong>Seek help. </strong>If you&#8217;re struggling with assignments or struggling with college in general, ask for help. With the former, a tutor may be able to help. With the latter, a counselor can offer to you guidance. Depression or anxiety are real conditions—accept what you&#8217;re going through, but resolve to do something about it.</p>
<h3>Better Grades</h3>
<p>What if you still don&#8217;t achieve a 4.0 GPA? Have you failed? No, you&#8217;ve only failed if you have failed to try. Any improvement you&#8217;ve made over the past semester is a laudable achievement. Don&#8217;t be too hard on yourself&#8211;pat yourself on the back and give it your best effort again next semester.</p>
<p><strong><em>Adv.</em></strong> – Do you need funds to pay for school? Pell grants, scholarships and federal student loans are some options for you. Also consider a private student loan including those offered by <a title="Sallie Mae Smart Option Student Loan" href="http://go.salliemae.com/sosl_int_fp_01/?dtd_cell=SMPCSOOLAFNBN010002">Sallie Mae</a>, one of the best known private lenders out there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><em>By Anna Miller</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">There’s no doubt that the first prize for the largest number of apps being developed goes to the iPhone – this brilliant gadget from Apple has revolutionized the way we use a mobile phone. And while the BlackBerry may have the highest worldwide sales, when it comes to a college campus, the iPhone rules the roost. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/10.png"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4028" title="10" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/10-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>If a student can afford one, you can bet your last dollar that he or she is going to buy this smartphone, if not for its cool looks and utility value, then at least for the many apps that are designed exclusively to make college campuses and life on them more exciting and productive. So here there are, a few of the best iPhone apps for the college campus:</span></p>
<ol type="1">
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/etextbooks-for-the-iphone/id325230226?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">eTextbooks for iPhone</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>Buying textbooks when you’re in college is not a joke – you seem to be shelling out all your money for the huge tomes that you must have. With your iPhone you have the opportunity to buy eTextbooks – they’re not only easy to carry around on your phone, you can also read them wherever you are and raise your productivity.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snaptell/id291920403?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SnapTell</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>:</strong> Another useful app when it comes to finding cheap and affordable textbooks (or any other book or CD or DVD) – just take a photo of the cover and it provides a list of prices and sellers along with their location.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.jott.com/jott/jott-for-iphone.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jott</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>This app is a great way to take notes – it allows you to voice record your lectures and then transcribe them to your notepad. These files can be emailed to yourself so you have a whole set of notes ready to study when it’s time for exams.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/istudiez-pro/id310636441?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">iStudiez Pro</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>A college student’s life is haphazard to say the least – what with all that’s going on with them, they find it hard to stay organized. This nifty app allows you to organize your classes, homework, exam schedules, assignment due dates and your social calendar in one place – now you don’t have to carry all this information in your head and kick yourself for forgetting that important date or having to rush to meet that assignment deadline.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=307217005&amp;mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wi-Fi Finder</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>This free app lets you find Wi-Fi hotspots on campus, thus saving you money on your data plan and allowing you to browse the web for free.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikipanion/id288349436?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wikipanion</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>Wikipedia on the web is brought to your phone in this avatar – it makes a quick reference that much easier when you’re on the go. This app is free; however, if you want one with more features, you can buy it for $4.99.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instapaper-free/id284942713?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Instapaper</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>How often have you run of time when browsing the net? This app allows you to save websites in a format<strong> </strong>that is easy to read on your phone; it also facilitates offline browsing and bookmarking.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284882215&amp;mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>Anyone who is on the web today uses Facebook; it’s not just a site where you interact with your friends, it’s also a great way to stay in touch with people who mean a lot to you and live far away. This app brings Facebook to your phone, making it easy to stay on top of updates and happenings.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=308750436&amp;mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dictionary.com</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>: </strong>You may be a college student, but that’s no reason not to suck when it comes to spellings. With this app however, you don’t have to worry about finding the right spelling or meaning of a word anymore – it provides access to more than 275,000 definitions and 80,000 synonyms.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/urbanspoon/id284708449?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Urbanspoon</span></strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><strong>:</strong> Tired of campus food and yet too broke to afford food outside? This app helps you find cost-effective food outlets within a half-mile radius of your campus. Go out, eat to your heart’s content, and return knowing that your wallet is not that much lighter.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">There are many other apps for the iPhone that are tailored for the college student, so browse the iTunes store to find what you need.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By Lior Levin</em></p>
<p>College life sure is a world of its own, or at least that’s what I have discovered. Like most every other college student, I would use &#8220;working towards a college education&#8221; as my motivator to keep trudging through those high school years.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Number_5.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3934" title="Number_5" src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Number_5.png" alt="" width="178" height="149" /></a>Okay, I know what you are thinking: here comes a post from a college geek. I haven&#8217;t earned that title (and there is nothing wrong with being a college geek), because my thinking of what the college years were going to be was more freedom from my parents. As in where getting older allows you to do more! However, I wasn&#8217;t thinking of all the school work I would be facing; I wasn&#8217;t mature enough for that.</p>
<p>When I did arrive at college though it was a wake up call and I soon discovered I needed all the help I could get. It wasn&#8217;t long before I scoured the Internet for everything that I could find to make my life easier for the next few years as I got through this. Because I am a nice guy I figured I would pass some of these along in case you are new to the college scene and haven&#8217;t discovered yet what can make academic life for the college student easier.</p>
<p><strong>1. Say Goodbye to Google Search &amp; Hello to Surfwax.com</strong></p>
<p>Of course Google is our virtual mentor, but when it comes to academics you need to be able to do your searches for material far beyond that. There are many more search engines out there that are going to get you a lot more of the information that you are going to need that is not passé or mundane.</p>
<p>For example, Surfwax will allow you to dig a lot deeper into the internet for info. This is just one of tons of meta surf engines that will open up a lot more doors for you to gather info.</p>
<p><strong>2. Say Hello to Producteev.com</strong></p>
<p>Remember when I was saying that college meant more freedom from your parents? Well, that’s true but it also means your parents are not there to do task management for you anymore. You sure better discover what Producteev is all about because this is going to be your saving factor for keeping you on track. This free task management tool will be your best friend if you use it properly and put it to good use.</p>
<p>Think about the hoards of emails you get when in college and how easy it is for the important ones to get buried. By having what really counts to you directed through this tool where it will create your &#8220;to do&#8221; lists and keep you alerted to them, you are easily going to stay on track.</p>
<p><strong>3. Share the Knowledge through Google Docs</strong></p>
<p>Everyone has their own favorite word processor, but using Google Docs when you are working on a group project or want to easily access an ongoing file or spreadsheet means collaborating.</p>
<p>Google Docs saves a lot of hassle of transferring files back and forth when it is a multi user file.</p>
<p><strong>4. Bookfinder.com, a College Students Money Saver</strong></p>
<p>Most college students have to squeeze the pennies, and when it comes to finding the cheapest books, then using this Bookfinder.com sure saves a tremendous amount of time and money.</p>
<p>All you have to do is enter the information about the book and it will display the best prices and sources.</p>
<p><strong>5. Testprepreview.com</strong></p>
<p>You have to get all you can from Testpreview.com when it comes to preparing for tests. It makes for an amazing free self testing exam site that is going to help you with your exam prepping.</p>
<p>Remember, if you really want to enjoy the college scene both academically and socially, then make life as easy as possible for yourself and take advantage of every free online tool that is going to help you do this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting passing grades at college doesn&#8217;t take much effort, but getting outstanding grades usually means you spent a considerable amount of time working on your studies. The difference between a “B” and a “C+” grade may not seem all that much, but it can raise your grade point average, an important number used to determine whether you receive university honors and are considered for that coveted job post graduation.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/images/open-book.jpg" alt="open book" hspace="12" vspace="12" align="right" />Raising your grades takes work, but it isn&#8217;t rocket science. The following tips when followed can take you up a notch or two:</p>
<p><strong>1. Attend Class. </strong>Skipping class means that you&#8217;re missing something, information and interaction which can be useful for writing papers, preparing for quizzes or taking tests. Some professors will penalize students who have an unexcused absence, perhaps making a difference when a borderline grade is being considered.</p>
<p><strong>2. Take Notes.</strong> You not only should take notes, but you should also review your notes. Is there a right way for you to take notes? Yes&#8230;in the way you best understand and recall what the professor said. If note-taking isn&#8217;t your specialty and your professor allows recorded devices, tape his lectures instead.</p>
<p><strong>3. Class Load.</strong> You may want to rush through college, but if your class load each semester is too much to handle, consider carrying just enough classes to still go full-time. Make up what is needed between sessions or over the summer, allowing you to concentrate on a few classes instead of five or six.</p>
<p><strong>4. Professor Reviews.</strong> On-line reviews of professors and courses make it easier for students to know what they can expect if they sign up for a particular class. If a particularly stringent instructor is scheduled for a class you know will be difficult for you, consider finding a different class with a professor who isn&#8217;t likely to hammer your GPA.</p>
<p><strong>5. Major Selection.</strong> You may have your eye on a particular major but soon discover you aren&#8217;t cut out for the work. You love business and had your heart on being an accountant, but your grades don&#8217;t support your career training choice. Explore other business majors such as Business Management, Information Technology or Hospitality Management. You may discover your business talents are better used elsewhere, getting the good grades to prove your career choice.</p>
<p><strong>6. Team Building.</strong> Even if your classes aren&#8217;t set up to for networking and team building, consider studying with your classmates. Compare notes and discuss the course material; you&#8217;ll be helping each other to fill in the gaps, raising your level of understanding accordingly.</p>
<p>Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had it right when he said this about studying, “A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.”</p>
<p>Surround yourself with smart people and your grade point average will begin to climb.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>College students cheat, they always have and they always will. At least that is the thinking for some people including students who regularly cheat and professors who routinely look the other way.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.SayCampusLife.com/images/college-student-6.jpg" alt="college student" hspace="12" vspace="12" width="250" align="right" />But cheating offers some serious consequences, first being the obvious moral lapse that got it all started. These days, many people no longer have a code, not that being moral always stopped cheaters in their tracks anyway. Yet, if you can justify one small transgression then you&#8217;re likely the type of person who can justify larger transgressions, slippery slope thinking not held in check by any biblical or moral code.</p>
<h3>Course Hero</h3>
<p>In the March 28, 2010 issue of “<a title="High-Tech Cheating Abounds, and Professors Bear Some Blame" href="http://chronicle.com/article/High-Tech-Cheating-on-Homework/64857/">The Chronicle of Higher Education</a>,” Jeffrey R. Young noted that high tech cheating is rampant thanks to websites like Course Hero whose tag line “Ace Your Courses” invites members to cheat. According to Young, the site features more than 500,000 textbook solutions with some 265,000 fans following the site through Facebook. More than six million study materials have been uploaded to the site as well.</p>
<p>Students may be able to get away with cheating but eventually their ruse is uncovered when they take tests. Acing homework may be easy to do, but if you flunk your exams then that may be all the evidence anyone needs to show that you&#8217;re not studying and absorbing what you should be learning. Still, as Young noted many schools do not have honor codes in place or these same codes may fail to deter cheaters.</p>
<h3>Online Cheating</h3>
<p>Young noted that a Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics professor has developed a way to determine if his students have cheated. By utilizing an online homework system in his courses, Mr. David E. Pritchard is able to tell who is cheating by how fast that they answer their questions.</p>
<p>Because his tests involves complex questions, students need to spend a certain amount of time answering them by reviewing and comparing possible answers. Pritchard&#8217;s system can tell how quickly someone responded which means that those questions that were answered under a minute were more than likely lifted from another source.</p>
<h3>Study Groups</h3>
<p>The practice of students gathering together in study groups to work through problems and share answers predates the age of technology and is usually considered an acceptable practice at most institutions of higher learning. But, sharing professors&#8217; old exams is not considered acceptable, something that has increased sharply due to online sharing of that information.</p>
<p>In the April 9, 2009 issue of  “<a title="Do Study Sites Make the Grade?" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123923520520403259.html">The Wall Street Journal</a>,” Anne Marie Chaker reported that old exams are finding their way to online sites and are easily accessible by students. Some professors recycle their tests which means that test questions and answers can be found online, giving students the chance to ace their tests without studying.</p>
<p>Chaker went on to note that there are a number of cyber study groups flourishing, each offering study materials, class notes and old tests to members. Besides Course Hero, four other sites are wooing students: Cramster, eNotes, Koofers and SparkNotes. Some sites charge a fee, but not every site is advancing cheating.</p>
<p>For example, SparkNotes has a feature where an editor reads student essays and offers advice for free. That particular dimension likely helps students hone their writing skills while leaving the research, paper development and refining up to them.</p>
<h3>Professor&#8217;s Tools</h3>
<p>Students know that when it comes to papers, professors have a number of tools at their disposal including various plagiarism checkers such as Dustball, Copyscape, Article Checker and Plagiarism Detect.</p>
<p>But what is all comes down to is having students understand that plagiarism is wrong even if “everyone else is doing it.” If all else fails other students and electronic detection technology can thwart most instances of cheating including in engineering if professors are willing to look for patterns suggesting that answers have been acquired through ill-gotten means.</p>
