Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sit front and center. Participate in discussions. Prepare for class. Take active notes in class. Don't take too many notes. Regulate your energy. Take care of your body.

Answer: Sit in the front row, in the middle of the class, as close to the teacher as you can get. Students who do this get substantially higher grades than students who sit back or to the side. Get in early on the first day and stake out a seat, and stick to it. You will hear better if you are in the front row, as well as see better. It's harder for your attention to wander if the instructor can see your face. Answer questions, and ask questions when you get lost or when you have a thought. If your class is discussion based, be an active participant. Respond to other students' comments as well as the teacher's. If it is a lecture, write down questions as you go, and see if the professor answers them. At a moment of pause, ask the questions if they haven't been answered. Participating in discussion will stop you from drifting off. However, don't just wait for your turn to speak. The conversation may move on, and you don't want to zone out while you formulate your statement, only to miss a crucial point. If you participate, your ideas will become part of the work of the classroom. This means that you are implicated in the discussionthe instructor will direct comments at you, as may other students. Hearing your name will keep you actively listening. Before each class, go over your homework and notes from the previous class. If you had to solve problems, go through them slowly and explain to yourself what the key concepts were and how you worked them out. Jot down any questions you were left with, as well as ideas you get from the reading. This may prepare you for questions your instructor will ask during class. It will also fill your head with material relevant to the class ahead, so that the new information you hear will have something to connect to. Don't write down everything the professor says, but write the main themes, and try to group information that seems related. Underline key points. Keep writing questions, and answer them if you can. If your notes point you to a question you can't answer, ask it in class, or ask another student after. Listen for clues before a lecture begins that will help you organize your notes. Your professor might say something like "I am going to discuss three main points" "Now I want to move on to" "Let's not forget to mention the contribution of" "To summarize" Take note when words or phrases are being repeated. Underline or circle in your notes any words that seem to be significant. If you try to copy everything down, you won't take anything in. Your main task is to listen and engage. Use shorthand for repeated words and references. Don't copy slides if they're going to be available online or in a handout. If you have a handout, write brief notes in the margins instead of having a separate page of notes. Skim your handout beforehand so you have an idea of the content of the lecture. If you are dyslexic or cannot write notes and listen at the same time, ask if you can get help. Some schools have professional note-takers, some teachers will help you arrange to share notes with a classmate, and some teachers don't mind if you record the class and listen again later, taking notes and pausing. Check in with yourself as your class goes by. If you are feeling hyper, take a few deep breaths and try to relax your body. If you are feeling sleepy, sit up straight and stretch a little. Check in at the beginning of class, at break, and whenever you notice yourself acting unfocused. Notice how you are sittingare you tapping your foot? Tearing paper? Doodling? Staring out the window? Adjust yourself in your seat and remind yourself to focus on the lecture. Regulate your emotions. Check in with your emotional state as well as your energetic state. Are you down on yourself? Sad? Happy? Worried? State how you feel instead of pushing it away. Take a minute to think "I am anxious" or "I am proud" so that you own it and it doesn't distract you. Get a full night's sleep every night. Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep a night, and teenagers need 9-11 hours. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Come to campus with water and a healthy, satisfying snack on hand, like nuts or fruit. Shift in your seat to stay alert, and get up and walk around during the break. Your mind wakes up when your body does.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a ratio of 2:1 when planning the weight of fruit and sugars. Keeping the total level below 1 teaspoon per 20lbs of berries, use more wine tannin with fewer strawberries for a drier taste. Use 1/16lb of Sodium Bisulfate for each 8lbs of strawberries. Add an extra teaspoon of yeast nutrient for each 4lbs of berries, up to 5 teaspoons total. Consider trying out a "wild yeast" version by ignoring all sterilizers entirely. Add other fruits for new flavors without having to adjust the recipe. Finished.

Answer: This is the first ratio to remember -- you always want roughly half the amount of sugar as strawberries. So, if you have 20lbs of berries, you want roughly 10lbs of sugar. While you might use 9lbs for sweeter strawberries, or 11lbs for tougher ones, you want to hew close to this 2:1 ratio. Always measure in weight, not cups or liters -- sugar packs tightly without air holes in a measurement cup, strawberries don't. Purchase a wine-making hydrometer to ensure the correct sugar levels -- anything from an S.G. of 1.06 - 1.09 is generally acceptable. More sugar means more alcohol later. Fruit naturally contains tannins, so less is more when using lots of berries. The exact level is not crucial, however, and mostly comes down to taste. As long as you use less than a teaspoon total your wine will be fine. For large batches, dispense with the Campden tablets and use Sodium Bisulfate instead. This sterilizes the wine as you make it, eliminating competing yeasts and bacteria from your mix so the wine yeast can do its job. If you're making over 25lbs of wine, you'll need to adapt this entire recipe for mass production. Anything less than that should be fine with 1 teaspoon per 4lbs or so, sticking to one full packet of wine yeast the entire time. This uses naturally occurring yeasts in the air and fruit for fermentation. If you do, know you must extend your first fermentation from 1-2 days to one full week. As long as your strawberries are the key fruit, you shouldn't have to adjust the recipe much, other than adding a little more or less sugar depending on your preferences. All of these fruits are added with the strawberries. While any fruit can be used to make wine, some popular additions with strawberries include: Substitute 1lb of blueberries, apples, cherries, or pears Add 1-2tb of fresh lemon or orange peel.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make it chunky. Make it spicy. Make it sweet. Get creative.

Answer:
Add complex textures to your dressing with the addition of chopped pickle, celery, green onion, bell pepper or even cucumber. Chunky Russian dressing pairs nicely on a cheeseburger or as a dip for chili cheese fries. If you want your dressing extra chunky, dice your vegetables into larger pieces and toss them in. If you are a fan of spicy foods and are looking for a Russian dressing with a bit of a kick, try any or all of the ingredients below to bring some serious heat into your dressing: 1 tbsp of Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce. 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp black pepper (coarsely ground) 1 tsp horseradish If you desire a thicker, sweeter Russian dressing, add some sweetener. Try pouring a heaping spoonful of buttermilk into your initial mixture. Add a pinch of sugar or a couple drops of honey to make a deliciously sweet dressing. You can substitute sour cream for buttermilk. Make the perfect dressing by adding whatever seasonings and ingredients you prefer. Try 1/2 tsp paprika or a pinch of diced cilantro. You can also try different kinds of pickles, or pickled peppers. Change the size and thickness of your diced onions and pickles to adjust the texture. You can even use grilled onions and peppers.
