Despite the fact that my most recent post on course-notes.org discussed reasons  "why the infamous all-nighter is a terrible idea," I would like to share some advice for those of you that will, without a doubt, pull numerous all-nighters in the coming years.  

So you're procrastinator... The good news, so are millions of high school and college students across the country. By all accounts, you're not unique in your inability to get ahead on assignments and more often than not, you'll be "forced" to stay up late either cramming for an exam or attempting to complete a six page paper you were assigned more than a month ago.

While it's been years since I graduated high school back in 2007, my first-hand experience with the college application process remains vivid in my mind. Between the AP courses/tests, taking the SAT/ACT and the pressures to maintain a competitive GPA, the life of an ambitious high schooler is no doubt, stressful.

My name is Daniel Black and I graduated from Claremont McKenna College in May of 2011 as a dual-major in Economics and Government. I was fortunate enough to spend time working as a "Senior Interviewer" for the Admissions Office which provided me with the opportunity to interview a large number of prospective students. I know what colleges look for (and what turns them off), but more importantly, what steps you can take to distinguish yourself from the crowd.

Going to college can be expensive, especially after the four or five years it takes you to finish your undergraduate degree. The average American student graduates from college owing $20,000 in debt. However, there are ways to make your college experience less of a financial burden, and applying for scholarships is a fantastic way to do so.

Why do we use MLA formatting? It’s quite simple: this formatting style creates a system for writers to reference sources they use in essays and on works cited pages, as well as for formatting manuscripts in general.

MLA formatting also increases a writer’s credibility because it creates a relationship of accountability between the writer and his or her material. And perhaps more importantly, it protects them from accusations of plagiarism.

It’s a simple fact: better study methods and employing particular study strategies yield higher exam scores.

Reviewing the material you’ve written and read during class will help solidify it in your mind. Cramming the night before an exam isn’t a good method for test preparation. Lecture notes, textbooks and study guides should be out in front of you as you begin to study. Writing a summary of the most relevant information during your study period will help memorization.

The works cited page should remain on a separate page. All entries should be double spaced, and margins of no more or less than one inch should exist at the top, sides and bottoms. The Works Cited page should be titled ‘Works Cited’ and should not include quotation marks, bold text style or in any way effected (except for capitalization. Each entry line should flush left, with all subsequent related lines indented ½ inch.
