First topic message reminder :

Not with a specific homework problem but with homework in general. (Skip this stuff and go to the bottom for my real question)

So, our teachers all of a sudden gave us twice the homework- right from the start of this week. Or Language teacher gave us two packets and a few spelling papers. In the packets we had to underline, margin note, answer the multiple choice, verify, do the plan for the response, and doing the response! (but it wasn't due until wednesday) The Spelling papers were also double sided! We got two math papers too, and today we got the back of the two worksheets. Today we also got a Social Studies Packet, with 8 pages! Due on Thursday!


My question:
What is an effective and fast way to finish my homework on time and do it good?

I'd say pay attention in class, try your best, study and do your homework straight away when you get home.

You can go somewhere quiet and don't let anyone disturb you. Don't use anything that will get you distracted unless you need it. Postpone assignments that are not due tomorrow. You can try beginning with your easiest homework page. For some reason, eating while you work will help.

Wow, thanks everyone! I don't do my homework after dinner because I have so much, and then I finish it at 11:00 sometimes. I could do it in school at lunch, but my school is strict and won't let you. Although if I have to stay inside for recess or something, I could do it then.

Thanks everyone, thank you all so much! They all helped me a lot, I really appreciate all of the help you gave me!

Your welcome!

Even if your not graded on homework, its actually meant to help you. People who don't do homework usually fall behind in their classes.

HA! I don't fail.

Homework? What's that?

Set goals for yourself and take brakes. Don't try and do it all in one shot. Maybe do some, then get a bite to eat. Then do some more and go outside for a little while.

depends on the homework, if it's a coursework, you need to get in a room and concentrate, and give facts, if it's like a language work, just use a translator, (google translator or something else) or just ask one of your parents, since there are loads of parents who speak diffenrnt languages, and hmmm? well yeah

Wow... I never saw these replies..

Well today when I got home I worked on my homework, got my math worksheet done, my spelling homework done, and I finished a packet and OR. Eh, fair amount of homework... But I did it.

I find that a break in between, like Mr. John said, helps a lot.

I guess we should leave this topic open, incase other people need help with homework..


Thanks everyone!

The best way (for me) to get my homework done fast, and with good quality, is stay after school. Ask your teachers to set up a date (before or after school) to come in and have a nice place to do work. Also, try going to your principle and giving him this ide.
"After School Study Halls" Its effienct if you do them on tuesdays and thrusday, and have one teacher from each core class there making sure your doing everything you are supposed to.
Core Classes are:
Math
English
History/Government/etc.
Science.

I find this helpful because if you get stuck you can have one of the people working the study hall come over to help you out.
Of coarse this would be optional, but it was implemented in my school and theres around 20-30 kids of tuesday and thursday that show up.

Really? That's cool, although at my school they don't normally do that, unless you really need help with a subject.

The most effective and fast way to finish your homework on time is to force in some time during your regular schedule to finish it. For instance, if you know that you are going to be somewhere tonight, and in response, you cannot work on your homework, then what you do is try to work on your homework whenever you get an immediate chance. If you just got through with you 1st period/block class and the teacher gave you homework for the night, then hurry up and work on some of the homework before your 2nd period/block class begins. Sometimes' it would only take you just a few seconds to only finish one problem; so, approximate each problem to take at most a minute, and you have 20 problems... well, that's just 20 minutes of time that you have to finish up your homework. You can finish it up on the bus-ride/car-ride back home, in between classes, and at home.

Wow... Okay, I would try that, but our teachers are really strict and if they see you doing homework in school they give you another worksheet... Plus, I always have time to do it at home, but it just takes a long time.


But thanks for the tip, if I do get a chance to do that I will!
