Passion is what makes good writing but only practice is what makes good writing real. Walking into the classroom with a bunch of blank papers, pencils, and big expectations is not the best approach to enhance writing skills of students. The writing skills nurturing should develop gradually and turn into steady practice environment where each student has own reason to write. If you want your students to turn into enthusiastic writers, you need to let them understand the basics of the clear sentence construction and support them on every stage of the writing session.

Professor R. Kellogg in the “Psychology of writing” book suggested several principles of the writing practice based on the conducted research. According to the book, the good writing habits are based on efforts and motivation, repetition and attainability (the level of skills already attained by the students). In this topic, we will discover how to raise the level of writing attainability, learning the components of the balanced sentence and using practical exercises to support the skill retention.

The end of the year is coming, bringing winter holidays (for sure), snow (hopefully) and Christmas presents (yes, please). But before everyone can come home to their families to celebrate, learners still have something to do for their academic careers. Finals are right here, and there’s just a bit of last minute studying left before this year is over.

Preparation for finals leaves even the smartest undergraduates in a huff and a puff. Holiday mood can be distracting and confounding, and let’s face, you are running out of time. But you’re not alone in your struggle for a good grade. Unicheck is here to help, even if all what’s left is just a couple of days.

Unicheck team was hard at work discovering the best and the most awesome tools that could save you from failing your finals. Here are five the most useful of them, underpinned with tips on fast studying.

There are a few places on Earth that can surpass the campus environment atmosphere in terms of studying. We bet you didn’t know that campus Christmas atmosphere is also good enough for having fun.

Moreover, you’d be blown out of water to find out that Christmas campus activities are hardly related to the lonesome supplementary reading, doing your homework one semester ahead or throwing wet looks at windows of partying strangers.

So you stuck on campus during Christmas and you think it is bad luck? Look at the bright side of hat you’re losing is in the best case scenario is a one or two home-cuisine items and a few extra warm hugs.it. W

Even if it seems that you’ll have plenty of time to eventually get bored, we assure you: if you try some of these Christmas activities for students you won’t regret anything. Proved.

Here’s how you can use campus Christmas time for good:

There is an old saying that student’s mind is capable of learning Chinese language in one night. Such “sprinter” style of learning is kind of bravado act like eating the whole can of pasta without sauce and butter, but sometimes it is really the last chance you get the day before the exam.

Some of us entirely lean on the short-term memory, drinking the gallons of coffee and consuming tons of chocolates, while stuffing own head with new material. With a сertain level of luck, it works. If it doesn’t, you might fall short on knowledge, nerves, or space in your new sweatshirt.

We do not mean to sound pessimistic or whatnot, but it is impossible to learn everything in depth, having just a night before the exam. Still, what time you’ve got could be useful for memorizing the basics, experimenting with study methods, revealing the details not directly related to the subject, and other kinds of allnighter fun before the exam.

Unicheck uncovers the expert views of what to do the night before an exam in order to be happy the day after:

The New Year’s gift is not just a gesture of courtesy. It’s a tiny ceremony that shows your attention and care. Students do not generally belong to the picky audience, however, the present you prepare will clearly show how well you know a person.

Instead of buying utterly Christmassy snowball or awarding a learner with Christmas socks full of, well, socks, try to focus on useful but original things that will bring in emotions.

Finding Christmas gifts for college students is not that difficult. We have prepared the list of things that will ease this task and provide something valuable for geeks, nerds, travelers, music junkies, sleepyheads, and artsy ones. Spoiler alert: it’s gonna be fun.

What does a typical day for a student look like? Breakfast, pack your books and notebooks, go to school, take notes in classes, maybe get scolded for bad handwriting, turn in a paper at the end of class, wash the chalk or marker off your hands, read a book or chat with friends during the break, perhaps talk to someone on the bus on the way home, or take a shortcut through the park, or be angry at parents because they’re late to pick you up; come home, do the homework, mess up a notebook with a leaking pen, watch some TV or read a book. Sounds about right?

No, most likely, not.

If it is not fair to punish someone for something they didn’t do then why students get penalized for not doing homework? This fair question apparently haunts the heads of those students who are figuring out how to get out of doing homework these days.

The team behind the Unicheck College plagiarism checker certainly remembers those times when some of us pretended to be sick as a homework excuse? Have you ever done it? And if you did, did you use your imagination power to the fullest?

Some of the students have a real knack in homework excuses.They don’t try to get away with a “sickness”, – this is too simple for them. They plot whole stories to produce a proper effect on the teacher. Sometimes it goes too far:
