Advice to fellow student

According to an article we read in class, studies show that students using facebook while studying for exams get lower grades than those who do not. The article said that students using facebook, even just intermittently, were on average 20 % lower.

I understand that people doing other things than studying, get lower grades, but I don’t think facebook is the problem. I can almost guarantee that if they didn’t have the opportunity to be on facebook, they would come up with something else to do.

I think we should focus on giving the students good study techniques instead. Students would get better results if they had a method on how to work themselves through the tasks without losing their concentration.

Erin Brockovich is a drama film based on an unemployed single mother of three. Erin doesn’t have much of an education, and can’t find a job no matter how hard she tries. After being in a car accident and losing the lawsuit, she manages to force her lawyer to give her a job in compensation for the loss. While working, Erin comes over an interesting case.

Erin Brockovich is based on a true story, which makes the movie even more interesting and motivating.
