Problem: Article: You can do a Dutch braid on dry or damp hair, but it needs to be brushed and free of any knots or tangles. If you have any flyaways, lightly mist them with water or tame them with a smoothing product like a serum or pomade. Braiding on wet hair is a great way make your hair curly without using heat. You will have to let your hair dry completely before taking the braid out, however. Hold the right strand in your right hand, and the other 2 in your left hand. Let the middle strand drape over your middle finger, and hold the left strand against your palm with your pinkie. This will keep them separate. You will be starting your braid from the right side. If starting from the left is more comfortable for you, simply reverse everything.
Summary: Start with neatly brushed, dry or damp hair. Split the section into 3 equal strands.

Problem: Article: You can find it at: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Enter "www.youtube.com" (without quotes) after all the IP addresses. Enter Ctrl + S, or go to File and select Save. Add a space or tab to the end of each IP address, then enter a name you want to use to reference this site. Use a name that firewalls won't have on their blacklists (blocked sites). Your new line should look like: 47.125.31.113 www.youtube.com If this doesn't work, try another method below.
Summary: Open the Hosts file in Notepad. Inside the Hosts file, paste all the IP addresses that you found in Method Two using nslookup. Save the Hosts file. Name the IP addresses. Type one of the IP address in the browser address bar to open YouTube. Press Enter to test browsing to the site.

Problem: Article: This will depend on what your situation is. For example, if you did poorly on a single assignment, ask to redo it for partial credit. However, if you have a C- in the class and want to have it raised to an A- just by redoing a few assignments, your teacher will most likely say no; instead, offer to do a lot of extra credit to prove how motivated you are. It might not shoot your grade up to an A, but it'll certainly help. Instead of just doing your homework, highlight important parts and write neatly, and especially make sure that everything is legible and it doesn't look like it got mangled with by a prizefighter. This may add a few extra points, since many teachers count neatness as part of your homework grade. If you are turning in a report, it may be helpful to purchase a report cover to further demonstrate your care for your final product. Consider trying to mark someone's work whose handwriting is all but impossible to read. Think about how much extra time this must take. Sometimes opportunities for extra credit will not be so obvious, so it's important to be on the lookout and to be visibly keen. Teachers will be impressed by someone going the extra mile. Not only will you score extra credit marks, but you can make a lasting good impression on your teacher. If any of these things seem unlikely to work on your teacher, don't try them. It will be a disaster. Follow steps you're comfortable with and change/skip those you aren't. You know your teacher best, and, believe it or not, they know you too. Although extra credit can be extremely helpful, it's not meant to make up for your faults. Extra credit is designed to help bring students who have been trying in the past to further bring their grades up. It's unlikely that a teacher will assign enough extra credit to change an F to an A.
Summary: Think of a solution that seems reasonable. Maintain your high level. Be proactive and look for extra credit. Keep your expectations reasonable.

Problem: Article: Reading at different paces helps you read both efficiently and quickly. Some articles will be more complicated than others. Read fluffier material quickly, and slow your pace when you reach something more complicated. Some articles can be skimmed or read very quickly. A local interest story about a new restaurant, for example, is probably not very complex. You can breeze through this article quickly and still learn most of the necessary information. An article that's covering, say, a recent political debate is probably more complex. You will have to slow your pace to read articles of this nature. Even though you are reading slowly here, you will still get through the paper faster having skimmed less complicated articles. News can be a bit redundant. Sometimes, information will appear in more than one section. For example, an op-ed about a current event may include facts you already read in an article. Another article may contain basic information about ongoing current events you already know. If you start reading something that sounds familiar, skim or skip over the paragraph. If an entire article seems like information you already know, it's okay to skip it. If you read news online or watch the news, information in a newspaper may be repetitive. Many people have a tendency to talk to themselves when reading. You may whisper the words out loud as you read them in your head. This habit can actually greatly slow down your reading pace. Pay attention to your mouth when you read. Try to be aware of mouthing the words out loud. If you catch yourself whispering or talking, stop. You will finish the paper quicker if you're not talking out loud. You may also find you're talking to yourself silently in your head while you read. You may be repeating the words in your head a second time or adding commentary. Try to silence your internal monologue when you're reading. Contrary to what many believe, reading a phrase over and over again does not improve comprehension. It can also slow down your reading speed. If you're reading a complex article, it's more effective to slow down and read carefully. This will get the job done quicker and help you better retain the information.
Summary:
Vary your reading speed. Skim or skip over information you already know. Do not talk to yourself when you read. Avoid re-reading phrases.
