Tips for Finding the Right Property Management Company

admin

It’s a hassle, most of the time, to find the right man to do the job. This is certainly the case when looking for a property management company. While it is true that property management risk is greatly reduced if a trusted real estate manager is on the job, you must find the right property management company for the process to be successful. Read on to find out how to find the right one.

Search your local network

Your local network will include trustworthy and trustworthy people. Ask your real estate agent, contractor, or handyman if they know of any property management companies you can work with. Also seek advice from network meetings and investment clubs. Gather as many options as you can from people you know and trust.

Ask important questions of company officials

Once you have a list of property management companies ready, you should talk to the people interested in each company and ask them a series of questions. Find out who your other customers are and collect referrals. Look at the property portfolios they managed in the past and find out how efficient they were with these companies. This can be a good measure of how likely the company is to manage its portfolio of properties.

Value for money is the key

After collecting all the necessary information, you need to check the price. Property managers are responsible for performing a multitude of functions that vary in both cost and responsibility. Before you sign an agreement with the company, make sure you get everything you want from them, and all of that at a satisfactory price.

Be smart with money. Some companies may offer their services for a percentage of your monthly rent, but there may be others that offer more services for a slightly higher price. It is recommended that you decide exactly based on what suits you best.

You should take the calls

You and your property manager must work as a team, with no interruptions in communication. Remember that it is your property in question and therefore you are in control. The ball stops with you. So, for example, if the business depends on your rental income for your salary, you may be looking for ways to increase your rent amount. You need to be one step ahead and make sure this doesn’t affect you. No one should have the last word on your property except you.

Make sure who you finally choose

Take your time choosing the right property manager. Not everyone who makes a good first impression will deliver. Even if a manager was recommended to you, you should do your research anyway and run a thorough background check.

Tips on how to get rare pokemons in Pokémon Indigo

admin

Pokemon Indigo is an online game in the Pokemon series. Like other games in the series, the game focuses on capturing and training Pokemons to become the strongest trainer in the game.

To form a strong group of Pokémon, you must have a complete group that includes at least one Rare or Legendary Pokémon. While they are important, rare units are not only hard to find, they are also hard to catch. Although this is the case, here are some tips on how to find the rare drives:

Search hidden areas

You cannot find the rare units when you first start the game. This is because they are usually blocked or blocked by an obstacle. As a result of this, you must complete a significant milestone so that you can access the areas where the units are located.

When you complete an important part of the game, you must carefully search the area until you find a Pokémon. If you cannot find the unit in that area, you must try to complete other milestones to access the units. You should also take it upon yourself to learn a move like Cut that will allow you to easily find the units.

Be strong when attacking a Pokémon

Once you’ve spotted a unit, you must attack hard to prevent it from escaping. This is because it has been shown that drives tend to leak easily if not damaged quickly; therefore, when you come across one, you must attack immediately.

While it is recommended that you strike hard when you see a rare Pokémon, you should avoid killing it in one hit. To be safe, you must throw a Pokeball (or another variation of it). When the Pokeball hits the unit, it will affect the unit’s health status and as a result, you will easily catch it when it is low on health.

One of the best Pokeballs to use is the Masterball. The good side of this ball is that it is available in almost all Pokestores and it is easy to use. It also easily catches the Pokémon.

Conclution

These are tips on how to get rare Pokemons in the Pokemon Indigo game. As you can see, the tips are easy to follow; however, if you are having trouble putting the tips into action, you should visit the many online resources for free guidance.

Fantasy News & Notes

* Jeff Kent will be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Monday after having left oblique pain. He’s not 100 percent yet, but he looks like he’s eager to give it a try. Kent is expected to play first base until Nomar Garciaparra returns.

* Bartolo Colon, has right biceps tendonitis, also has a partial rotator cuff tear on an exam on Friday and will most likely miss the rest of the season. Colon’s recent elbow problems were the result of his shoulder, which has plagued him since last year. Instead of undergoing surgery, Colón will choose rehab and could have a comeback in September. However, Colón will not be 100 percent when he returns. “I have not received any formal direction from the medical department yet, but we will talk and they will have an evaluation,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “I know those things take some time. I would assume it will be long. And with about seven weeks left in the season, it seems doubtful that he will return. It would be a difficult task for him to go back and pitch this season.”

* Justin Verlander has “fatigue” in his right arm and missed Sunday’s start. Has Verlander hit a wall? Well, it’s that time of year when rookie pitchers start to get into trouble. Verlander, who became the league’s first 14-game winner earlier in the week, has already pitched five more innings (135 1-3) than in all of last year. There’s a chance the Verlander will skip a few more times before the end of the season, and it’s something Fantasy owners should be aware of.

* Rafael Furcal has extended his hitting streak to 13 games with one bunt for one hit on Sunday, then stole second place. Furcal has been red hot lately. Something the Dodgers have been waiting for a while.

* John Smoltz remains undefeated in his last 10 starts. It’s too bad the Atlanta Braves have struggled most of the year. Smoltz remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets left Saturday’s start after one tackle due to a strain on a pectoral muscle. Is this really a surprise to fantasy owners? Sheets who started the year on the distribution list are likely to have a return trip before the weeks are out.

* I’ve been hitting Ken Griffey Jr. for the past few weeks due to his lack of hitting since the All-Star break. However, Griffey is starting to warm up and, as long as he’s healthy, he’s a viable option in the outfield.

* Joe Maddon, manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, said Scott Kazmir will pitch again on Friday. 11 against the Oakland Athletics. Kazmir entered the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder swelling retroactive to July 24.

* Francisco Liriano, who was bounced off a start Wednesday with a swollen forearm muscle, is scheduled to make his next start Monday in Detroit. This makes Liriano a 2-starter pitcher this week, and he should be ready to pitch in a great game against the Tigers.

* Jim Thome, who has been struggling lately and has been battling back pain, was 2-3 on Sunday and looks like he’s going to be fine. He’s a guy you’ll want to keep a close eye on this week.

* José Contreras (10-4) has lost his fourth game in his last five starts. His next start is against the Detroit Tigers. With this difficult start, I looked to seat Contreras.

* Derek Jeter has 3 HRs in his last 8 games. Finally, DJ is starting to give his owners some power.

* Alfonso Sorinano hit his eighth starting HR of the season to lead the majors.

* Francisco Cordero is now the closer in Milwaukee.

weekly planner-11

who shot who did not

Ryan Howard, leader of the National League in HR, is my pick for this week’s Who’s Hot award. Howard hit. 433 with 4 HRs, 14 RBIs and 5 runs in the last 7 days. It wasn’t like Howard was doing it against the bottom of the National League. Howard took his baton of power and hit the Florida Marlins, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets. Howard, unlike Bobby Abreu, the winner of last year’s human resources contest, has not slumped this year. Howard is a passionate gamer and has unlimited potential. It’s a great start in 1B.

Fausto Carmona has lost his last four appearances and will likely be eliminated from Cleveland’s closer role. While the Cleveland Indians certainly aren’t going anywhere this season, they can’t afford to keep hitting these kids’ confidence. Giving up match-winning HR was Carmona’s theme this week. Earlier in the week, Carmona gave up the game winners against David Ortiz of the Boston RedSox, who did what Ortiz does best, hit a game-winning HR. Then on Saturday, Carmona yields a game winning two HR races to Iván Rodríguez. Cleveland needs to make a change to the closer role, and Carmona will likely be removed from that role. If you need to make adjustments to your team, do it now, and bench or even let go of Carmona.

2 START OF SHOOTS AND TUBES

***

JD Drew has favorable matchups this week against the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants. When Drew faces the startem site of the Colorado Rockies this week, the 3 starters he faces (Kim, Francis and Jennings), Drew is hitting .452 against them.

Mark Loretta is hitting .333 (19-57) in his last 12 games with 9 runs. He will face the Kansas City Royals on the road and then at home against the Baltimore Orioles. The Royals have one of the worst pitching teams in the majors, while Baltimore is right behind the Royals. Loretta will set the table and hopes to have a great week.

Michael Barrett in his last 11 games has 3 HRs, 6 RBIs and a BA of .302 (13-43). Barrett is on the road this week in Milwaukee and then Colorado, both great matchups for Barrett. Barrett is a must-start this week.

Brandon Phillips has been red hot for the past 2 weeks. At .366 (15-41), 3 HR, 5 RBI and 6 runs, Phillips is beginning to regain his early season punch. An excellent option at 2B this week.

Felipe López is becoming a household name in SS. Not only has Lopez hit for power this year, but with his 30 SBs and 70 runs scored this year, Lopez ranks right there with Jose Reyes and Derek Jeter. This week, Lopez faces the Florida Marlins and the New York Mets, two teams he has fought against. This is Lopez’s statement week, and we hope he has two great series.

Chone Figgins, the Los Angeles Angels’ table setter has been anything but that for the past 2 weeks. Figgins is hitting just 184 (9-49), with 5 runs in his last 12 games. Figgins will be on the road this week and will face the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees. Figgins, who can play in various positions, should find a comfortable spot on his bench.

Brian Giles has been a huge disappointment this year for Fantasy Owners. It won’t be any easier for him this week either. Giles is out on the road this week to face the New York Mets and the Houston Astros. In most leagues, you can find Giles on the resignation wire, a place where he belongs. If you have it on your list, leave it on the bench, or better yet, put it where it belongs, on the resignation wire.

Aubrey Huff finally got his first RBI with the Astro on Saturday night. Huff has had problems since he came from the Devil Rays. Marbling Huff, at some point should come out of his slump, it just won’t be this week. Huff faces the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres this week, though both series are at home to Huff, until Huff starts blowing up, keep it reserved.

Richie Sexson, despite his .221 BA, is still on track to hit 35 HRs and 110 RBIs. Most Fantasy owners are frustrated with Sexson’s performance this year despite its HR power. Over the past 2 weeks, Sexson has hit .196 (9-46), with 5 of those hits being HR. If you are lacking in human resources, you have to start with Sexson, because you just don’t know when you will eliminate one. My thinking, Sexson is a fancy trick, and I would try to find a better option if possible.

Pedro Feliz has been struggling a lot over the last few weeks. His BA 167 (7-42) in his last 11 games is an indication of how bad Feliz has been. Feliz will be touring this week in Arizona and Los Angeles, two teams he has had only mild success against. Put Feliz on the bench this week, you’ll thank me later.

admin

Dyer, Stephen Covey, and other greats. In 1993, he obtained his Doctorate of Divinity from Great Plains Baptist Divinity School. He is currently working towards his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine under the supervision of Dr. Joel Robbins, College of Natural Health, Oklahoma.

Dr. Stan’s oral presentations often include attention-grabbing karate demonstrations in which he breaks bricks, wooden blocks, and lies down on a bed of nails like 100 pounds. of bricks are smashed in the chest with a mallet. He has shared a platform with Jim Rohn, Les Brown, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, Doug Firebaugh, Barry Donalson, Jerry D. Rhino Clark, and others. To date, Dr. Stan has spoken in 49 states and 17 countries.

“Dr. Stan Harris has that unmistakable charisma that puts him in the winner’s circle. His unforgettable presentations dramatically demonstrate how to break down your mental barriers to achieve peak performance in the real world. I have shared the platform with him and been on their audiences. Their reviews always mention the same four words: Life-changing, smashing, success! “

-Dr. Denis Waitley, Author “The Psychology of Winning”

We asked this two-time Hall of Famer to share more about his life, current projects, visions, and of course, his spectacular and inspirational martial arts talk presentations.

EMC! Good morning and thank you for taking the time to speak with us.

Dr. StanHarris: The pleasure is mine.

EMC !: Could you tell us more about your experience?

Dr. Stan Harris: I have two brothers and two half brothers. We grew up in a single parent home in the roach and mouse infested projects (Smith Holmes) of Harrisburg, PA. I remember waking up to giant water bugs crawling across my face! At 6 years old, while playing on a playground, a gang of teenagers jumped, hit, rented, and feathered me. They left me in a field. Someone found me and rushed me to the hospital before I suffocated from the thick tar. I grew up wondering if anyone cared, I never heard the words “I love you”. I was neglected, confused, and abused, verbally, emotionally, sexually, and physically. I was beaten with a steel folding chair on the back and head, as well as a choker chain (for a dog), by the hands of my mom’s boyfriend, without her knowing, of course.

EMC !: You are a survivor. How did you become interested in Karate and martial arts in general?

Dr. Stan Harris: One day, my mother won a free month of karate lessons (ShotoKan Karate). He liked it so much that he continued training for quite some time. One day she got into a fight with her boyfriend who had physically abused me. She knocked him out with a side kick to the jaw. My brothers and I looked at each other in shock. We went to the man on the floor who was unconscious and we told him: “Whatever you do, don’t mess with my mom anymore, because my mom is bad, man; my mom is bad.” I was so impressed by the event that I began training in Isshin’ryu Karate in hopes of learning how to protect myself and one day become a champion and get the attention that I craved so much for as a young child.

EMC !: Would you say that realizing that you can empower yourself using martial arts principles ignited your desire to help others empower themselves in your daily life?

Dr. Stan Harris: Yes. They (the instructors) taught us to have self-discipline, before we learned to defend ourselves. We learned that the greatest of all victories is self-conquest. I wanted to share with others my newfound power to channel my anger and frustration into something productive. I also wanted others to experience the new, improved self-image that comes with self-control and achievement.

EMC !: Dr. Stan, what are the visions you make up in your mind that drive your desire to contribute?

Dr. Stan Harris: I see myself supporting 100 missionaries. I always wanted to be the role model for others, something that I never had personally. The power of expectation and the faith of someone we respect and admire can unleash a great deal of power that has been withheld. I also envision continuing to host health seminars across the country (US).

EMC !: I hear the passion in your words, Dr. Stan. Most people who know you, and even those who are only remotely familiar with you and your work, describe you using the word “passionate.” Is passion something you work to manifest on a daily basis?

Dr. Stan Harris: Definitely. A woman took me to the airport and said, “Whatever you do, I want to be a part of it because you exude so much compassion and power.” Like John Wesly of old, I set myself on fire and people came to watch me burn!

EMC !: Whose council have you benefited the most from?

Dr. Stan Harris: Aside from the Bible, William E. Bailey, who also mentored Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and others.

EMC !: His oral presentations often include a dynamic martial arts demonstration. Amazingly, you break 22 inches of bricks with your bare hands using incredible speed and power. Can you describe the impact it has on your audiences?

Dr. Stan Harris: Because our generation is so visual. I like to use visual aids that they can relate to, to add extra impact to my message. People are often spellbound, and they really understand that we can overcome our limitations, no matter how difficult or difficult it is!

EMC !: That certainly paints a picture. Can you give us some examples that describe how people’s lives changed for the better after watching your groundbreaking performance?

Dr. Stan Harris: Here’s what Rita Graves from Texas said:

“Dr. Stan Harris was so inspiring! He touched my heart tremendously. Words cannot tell you how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to meet him and hear him speak in person. Wow! We got all of his enthusiasm! This event inspired everyone! and every guest. I fill our hearts, minds and souls with inspiration, motivation, empowerment, knowledge, strength and success. Now we can keep moving forward in a positive way and know that we are all worthy of great things to come. “

Ned Rae said, “Dr. Stan Harris, who taught us all how to master our fears and have a life-changing ‘breakthrough’ as ​​we all broke our boards with our fear written across the back. Ages 8-81 They line up to take the first step beyond their fears by breaking that board with their hand, a real “breakthrough” worth the cost of attendance.

Cheryl Rae, CEO of her company, informed her CEO:

“The highlight for me was the ‘groundbreaking’ performance of Dr. Stan. I must admit, when he handed a board to everyone, I wasn’t quite sure if he could break it. It was a hard board! But when I saw an 8 year old boy did it and Maggie, 81, did it … that was it. If they could, so could I. And, with Dr. Stan guiding me, I did it on the first try! It was so easy and it didn’t happen. nothing at my hand, it was an incredible moment for me. I get emotional just thinking about it. “

EMC !: Dr. Stan, it is not surprising that your workshops and presentations are in such high demand. Tell us; Who helps you manage the many daily opportunities and invitations to speak that keep popping up?

Dr. Stan Harris: Currently, I do everything myself; But I’ll have to get someone to take care of it because the demands are getting too great. I try to keep a personal touch for as long as possible.

EMC !: What are some of the projects you are working on now?

Dr. Stan Harris: Cynthia Kersey (author of the number one best seller, Unstoppable, and the most recent Unstoppable Women) and I are co-authors of a book called Celebrating Unstoppable African Americans. Also, Jack Zufelt, author of another number one bestseller, Success DNA, and I are producing a CD series titled How to Be a Black Belt in Your Business. Then there’s MyOpp (My Online Portfolio Presentation). You see, residual income is great, but multiple streams of passive residual income are best. MyOpp is blending the teachings of the past, the techniques of the present, and the technology of the future to ensure success. Its mission includes, “Empowering entrepreneurs with viable solutions, systems and technologies that help leverage the Internet to create multiple streams of residual income.” When I got to the top of three companies simultaneously, people would ask me, “How do you do it? Do you have to have a special gift or ability?” Well, this new system allows people who only know how to point and click to be successful. MyOpp is the Walmart, the Microsoft of marketing. Anyone interested can visit my demo site. [http://www.myopp.com/shdemo]

EMC !: They all sound fascinating. And finally, what are two of your most precious assets and why?

Dr. Stan Harris: One; my faith – keeps me going. Without the Lord, I would be nothing and could do nothing of real value. And two, be true to myself because I see myself in the mirror every day. I would like to like what and who I see. It also gives me personal power with others.

EMC !: Thank you, Dr. Stan Harris. You have to be one of the busiest and happiest people in the world!

Dr. Stan Harris: It was an honor for me to participate. Can I leave you with my Attitude Adjuster?

EMC! We would be honored.

Dr. Stan Harris:

All around me there are limitless opportunities

Before me there are endless possibilities

Within me is the One who has infinite power,

Behind me, who cares?

I’m having a lot of success and it’s about to get better, watch out world, here I go!

China’s Five-Year Plan: The Overall Impact on Cleantech

admin

China’s five-year plan has once again established a focus on green sustainable energy technologies. The government already recognizes that future economic growth cannot be sustained at the current rate with similar levels of high pollution and excessive consumption of natural resources. The energy development strategy included in this, the twelfth five-year plan (spanning from 2011 to 2015) focuses on structural adjustments of energy resources.

Domestic energy providers will be encouraged to acquire key technologies in emerging renewable energy industries in China and abroad. This is considered essential for the development of clean technologies / “new energy” in general.

The plan also includes a sensible layout for the development of new energy sectors in the country. With a focus on generation of wind, solar, biomass, coal gas, nuclear and smart grids.

Senior government officials have confirmed that China intends for non-fossil fuel-based energy sources to account for 11.4% of primary consumption in the country by the end of the plan.

Solar photovoltaic

The PV industry is expected to mature into an advanced manufacturing base and deliver high value to the new energy sector throughout the plan.

Intelligent Network

Smart grid technology is expected to be incorporated into all new transmission capabilities where possible. Ultra-high voltage lines covering 40,000 km will receive a 500 billion yuan investment to improve power transmission from resource-rich (but sparsely populated) western and inland regions to major population centers on the east coast.

The nuclear energy

China has reiterated that following the earthquake in Japan, its own nuclear strategy will remain unchanged, although it will temporarily halt construction of new construction until lessons can be learned from that disaster to improve the safety of its own plants. With long-term plans for 138 new nuclear power plants, the country has a serious commitment to this clean energy source. It is understood that Chinese uranium consumption will exceed US consumption by 2020.

Greater supervision

The Chinese government will increase the levels of supervision of high pollution industries. This will almost certainly include a market capitalization on coal consumption volumes in today’s manufacturing hotspots such as the Pearl River Delta, Tianjin and Yangtze River Basin areas. There will also be a widely anticipated review of emission restrictions at coal-fired power plants that are expected to make Chinese standards the most stringent in the world today.

For investors

The commerce ministry and the NRDC are expected to revise the guidelines that control foreign investment in green industries to encourage more rapid growth in clean energy technology. The central and western regions of China will offer unusual levels of support to investors seeking to produce successful local partnerships in this field. It also supports a key element of the five-year plan to enhance the capacities of indigenous innovation structures and promote the transformation of these industries by taking advantage of new technologies.

Ten steps to becoming a better leader

admin

The New Year is a time for many people to assess where they are, where they want, and what they need to change in their daily lives. For leaders, whether they are supervisors, managers, mid-level executives or senior executives in any field, being more effective is the key to success, for themselves and their organization. The New Year is a great time to assess which leadership skills and traits are working and which are inhibiting success. Here are ten of them for your consideration.

Start

Learning at least ten facts about each of your “direct reports” employees. Take the time to learn more about them, and their lives in and out of the workplace makes them more human and generates respect and report between the two of you.

Stop

Micro-management of the daily activities of your employees at any level of the organization. Micromanaging lowers productivity, creativity, and motivation. If you give them clear goals and then monitor their achievement of those goals on a regular basis, most employees perform at higher levels.

Start

Have a direct face-to-face conversation with your people at all levels of the organization about what works and, more importantly, what doesn’t. The key here is to listen more than talk. But asking a lot of questions is good. While you may not act on all points, problems, or ideas, it is important to get a first-line perspective of what is happening in the organization.

Stop

Postpone writing and give performance reviews to your direct reports at the last minute. Most managers at any level make this mistake. As a people leader, ongoing feedback culminating in a comprehensive and comprehensive performance appraisal is essential.

Start

Be more honest with all comments. Don’t say something is good if it’s mediocre. Don’t say something is adequate if it is lacking. Whether it’s a product, presentation, report, advertisement, or strategy, being more honest and candid is the right thing to do for you and your organization. Too many people are generous with praise and take poor jobs.

Stop

Interact with people by email. Face-to-face is ideal. If not face-to-face, then over the phone. The last resort should be by email. Too many managers at all levels hide behind email instead of dealing directly with their peers, bosses, employees, or even customers. There is nothing like the personal touch for a leader.

Start

Encourage your people to get more training and education. The natural instinct is to say “no.” You cannot allow them to be out of the office. But more training and education will make them more effective, more creative, and more valuable when on the job. Invest in your people.

Stop

That bogus “rah-rah” program of the type of initiatives of the month. They waste everyone’s time, energy, and budget. Understand your vision, your mission, and your values. Secure your goals clearly and quantified. Then focus on energizing your time on what needs to be done to achieve those goals.

Start

Be a true “coach” by making sure to clearly communicate goals and objectives. You should be able to ask any member of your team about their goals and you should get a clear and concise answer that includes their position in relation to their achievement to date. If they can’t, then you haven’t been clear enough about your goals.

Stop

Accept recognition for yourself. Address all recognition to your people. The soldiers at the front deserve the medals. Not the pencil pushers behind the desks at Headquarters. When something good happens, make sure the right person is recognized, and immediately.

Being a “boss” is not easy. It’s really about being a leader, not a manager, regardless of title. To be a more effective leader in the New Year, starting and stopping the behaviors and actions described above will provide a good fresh start.

Learning style: what is yours?

admin

If you want to be a successful college student, you must have a curriculum. Your old high school habits probably won’t work in college. You must begin your college career with a complete understanding of how you learn. Many students have not given much thought to their own learning style, but you should take a minute and examine your approach to your daily experiences.

Do you prefer to have your work assignments written to you, or do you prefer someone to tell you what to do? That can make a big difference in the successful completion of a job! If you are a visual learner, you would like to see a written explanation of your assignment. If you are an auditory learner, you prefer to be told what to do. A visual learner with an auditory boss must adapt to the situation. A good way to strike a balance is to carry a notepad or jot down the information on a sticky note for later. A visual student in college needs to make sure that the grades are good and that the handouts and PowerPoints are printed and organized. Taking notes in actual PowerPoint is a very effective way to learn your material.

An auditory learning student in college should plan to record the lectures on a digital recorder, so that he can listen to the lecture over and over again on the computer or MP3 player. The auditory learner should also make sure to study aloud. Hearing the information will reinforce the details in your memory.

Some people are tactile / kinesthetic learners. Those people need to run the equipment to see how it works, test things out for themselves, and generally stay active and physical whenever they do something. If you are a tactile / kinesthetic learner, then you need to find a way to study that allows you to use your energy when you study. One way a tactile / kinesthetic learner can study is by getting a white board or chalk board at home to use for problem solving. This is especially effective for math classes where the work can be especially challenging. A tactile / kinesthetic learner can also benefit from a collection of important fact sticky notes taped to a wall or mirror!

The ideal college student will combine all of these approaches when going to class and studying for exams. We all have a learning style preference, and using that learning style to study will lead to an A + in student success in college.
