Through consultation, Lucas explained, students develop plans that will help them budget their time better, as well as promote study habits that will help them further down the Page 2 final seconds road with their goals. Lucas said there really is no specific reason for why someone does poorly or well in school because their performance is a result of their own individual experiences. T Organization, like good study habits, plays a big part in the quality of work a student produces. “If responsibilities are prioritized, it is much more likely that additional time and energy are able to be spent on the task and higher work will be produced,” Lucas said. Anyone who has a problem in school, Lucas said, needs to develop some kind of plan that will benefit their performance because that can keep students from slipping into Page 8 old habits.
