Ms. Sue is absolutely right! She wrote:
Please don't stress.
1. Take a deep breath. [This alone gets oxygen to your brain so you can think better. Remember to do this during tests, too.]
2. Sit down and get comfortable. [This helps you relax and your ability to read, comprehend, and think increases.]
3. Read your assigned text. [Go away from the computer if you can in order to read your text. Online texts have their uses, but for full reading of a chapter or other assignment, they're not very good ... well, unless you can get the text on an iPad or other tablet ... and get away from the computer for actual reading.]
4. Then post your answers here and someone will check them.
No bother! No stress!
Okay thank you! Before I post here then I will follow the rules!
Ms. Sue provides some helpful tips for reducing stress and improving cognitive abilities while doing assignments or taking tests. Let's break down her suggestions:
1. Take a deep breath: The act of taking a deep breath helps increase the oxygen supply to your brain, which can improve your ability to think and focus. Remember to practice this technique not only when you're stressed but also during tests or other mentally demanding activities.
2. Sit down and get comfortable: Being physically comfortable can have a positive impact on your mental state. When you find a comfortable position, it helps you relax and promotes better reading, comprehension, and thinking abilities. This step is particularly important when working on assignments or studying for extended periods.
3. Read your assigned text: Ms. Sue recommends stepping away from the computer if possible and reading the assigned text from a physical source. While online texts have their benefits, for in-depth reading of a chapter or any other assignment, they may not be as effective. However, if you have access to an iPad or other tablet, you can still use it to read the text away from the computer.
4. Post your answers for review: After reading the assigned text and completing the corresponding questions, you can post your answers for checking. By doing so, someone will be able to review your work, provide feedback, and help ensure accuracy.
All of these steps aim to alleviate stress and create a more conducive environment for learning and completing assignments. By following these suggestions, you can improve your focus, comprehension, and overall performance.
