1. What is the difference between the live program and the video?
| Up until the release of our new video, Success4Students was offered only as a live seminar. Although our seminars have been proven to be extremely effective, teaching exclusively through this medium has limited the number of campuses (thus students) who can take advantage of the course.
The complete course material is covered in both the live seminar and video. However, there are significant advantages with video that cannot be duplicated in a live seminar setting:
The Success4Students Video provides:
1 - Continuous Captivation
The Success4Students video (although containing identical course material to the live seminar) is NOT simply a "tripod-cam" of previous conferences. In fact, this video transports the viewer inside a coffee house where Dr. Bradley interacts with five typical, yet distinctly different students learning the FOCUS-PLAN-LEARN-SUCCEED System. Their unique struggles related to time, grades, and future success, will be easily identifiable by any student. Dr. Bradley's use of effective teaching techniques involving relevant video clips, concentration games, and illustrations, will captivate your interest as you interact with the material. As the course concludes, prepare to be well-equipped for applying these strategies not only in your scholastics but also in your eventual career.
2 - Personalized Pace
Everyone retains information at different speeds. While some absorb large amounts of data rapidly, others require extended time. The option of pausing the course allows students to "catch their breath" and run stride for stride with the skills taught.
3 - Reinforced Learning
The relationship between memory loss and knowledge retention can easily be linked to the frequency of repetitions exercised. The adage, "repetition is the mother of all learning" especially rings true as it applies to comprehension. Video provides participants the opportunity to revisit key course concepts, which will ensure a higher propensity for knowledge retention. Revisiting course content provides the learner the option of reinforcing strategies, which help ensure they stay focused on their planned goals.
4 - Convenient
The video course offers a break from the usual "professor behind the podium" classroom setting. The convenience of this user-friendly format allows students to learn in their preferred environment. This concise 2-hour video is straightforward, interactive, and filled with practical applications. For the same cost as the live seminar, you can purchase this life-changing video.
Take advantage of the video tour and observe how this interactive teaching method is a smart investment with long-term benefits. Some students, however, may prefer to learn in a live seminar format. If so, please contact us for a possible program at your campus or organization: info@success4students.com |
2. What exactly can be learned from the Success4Students program?
| The application of these life changing principles developed and taught by Dr. Walter Bradley, will explain how to overcome procrastination, set goals, successfully plan and prioritize work. In addition, the student will learn note-taking strategies, speed-reading, and memory skills. |
3. What follow-up support does Success4Students offer?
| A distinctive feature of this course is our unique S3 Student Support Systemsm. Through research we know the time required for an idea to become a habit may take up to 30 days or more. For an entire semester the Success4Students S3 Student Support Systemsm is committed to providing twelve weekly exercises (not seen in the video) to ensure these habits are incorporated into daily living. These activities are a concise and powerful support for implementing key principles taught in the course.
Students are given a personal Login Code prompting the S3 Student Support Systemsm to send them an encouraging email. A link on the email will connect the student to the Success4Students Login Site where the exercises will be completed. Once the exercises have been submitted, an answer sheet will be given for self-evaluation. This type of correspondence throughout the semester proves to be a great source of encouragement for former students. Upon completion of the S3 program, the student will receive a S4S Certificate of Merit, which may be used as a reference for university applications. |
4. How long does it take to complete the Success4Students video course?
| Played straight through, the video is 2 hours long. However, students are prompted to pause the video at each section. Therefore, the length of time is contingent upon each student completing the workbook activities. On average it will take approximately 3-4 hours. While each student will work at their own pace, study skills should quickly improve once these strategies are implemented. This interaction allows students to personalize the concepts and examples found in the video to their own needs. |

6. How will Success4Students benefit participants in their careers?
| Our former students could tell you better than anyone! This course could easily be called "Time Management, Study Skills and Career Development" all in one. While a by-product of this course generally results in higher scholastic scores, students are also developing new learning methods that allow them to efficiently grasp and organize new ideas. While it's good to know historical dates, quadratic equations, and molecular formulas, students also need skills that allow them to manage information and apply that knowledge in a high tech fast-paced workplace. The focus of this course is aimed at coaching students to efficiently learn and retain information in preparation for the ever-changing business world. |
7. How can Success4Students help me get into college?
| GPAs may increase and upon completion of course material, Success4Students's Certificate of Merit may be used as a reference for university applications. This communicates to Admission Boards a commitment to continued academic success.
The Success4Students team spent twelve years researching the best available prioritizing and learning programs before developing their own state of the art study skills system. This innovative approach to learning and constant feedback from former students keeps course material current in this technological age. |
8. How can Success4Students help an academically gifted high school student continue to improve in college?
| Many students with poor time management and study skills are able to "get by" at the high school level because their work has not been challenging. However, once they enter college, the competition becomes intense. It is then many students realize they can no longer rely solely on natural intelligence. They need sharpened skills in planning, prioritizing and applying study strategies. Furthermore, excellence in one area such as academics at the expense of other areas (social, emotional, physical and spiritual) does not constitute a successful student. Success4Students takes active steps to ensure that students successfully achieve their academic goals while maintaining a more balanced approach to living. |
9. How can Success4Students benefit a student who has difficulty learning?
| Failure to achieve academic success is often rationalized in terms of a student not studying long and hard enough. The goal of Success4Students is not only to teach a student effective ways to follow through on goals but also how to study smarter. It is our belief, based on research and feedback from many students, that the inability to learn successfully stems oftentimes from not planning work and prioritizing assignments. This study skills course will help "struggling" students overcome these distractions and have a clear-minded focus on improving academic performance. |
10. What if I am dissatisfied with the product?
| At the conclusion of the course, students are asked to evaluate the entire program through a series of questions. They respond with: Very Disappointed, Disappointed, Satisfied, or Very Satisfied. More than 99% of the 17,000 former students who have taken Success4Students have indicated a response of either satisfied or very satisfied. These results give us confidence in the program's overwhelming success rate and student satisfaction. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the course material we offer a 90-day money back guarantee. For more information please see our return policy. |
