For computers, short term memory is RAM and long term memory is hard drive. (“C” drive or
USB)
There are three ways we store memories: first in the sensory stage ; then in short-term memory ; and ultimately, for some memories, in long-term memory .
Because there is no need for us to maintain everything in our brain , the different stages of human memory function as a sort of filter that helps to protect us from the flood of information that we're confronted with on a daily basis.


When we learn something new, all of the new concepts stay as a short term memory unless you use this new skill (or method) 14 times.

Only when you use the new concept (or skill) 14 times, you will transfer this new information from short term memory to long term memory part of your brain.


Karl Pribram

The long term memory part can store unlimited amount of information.

This is why everyday, after my lesson, you will have to do classwork or homework , which lets you use the new concept (or skill) so that the new concept will be transferred to your long term memory.


I will give homework 4 or 5 days a week.

I will constantly check your homework.
(usually twice a week)

I will mention whether you do homework on the report card.


My 5 th week report card: “ ABC shows a good knowledge of concepts and principles in accounting. He shows limited use of thinking and inquiry skills. He can improve his marks by doing homework everyday. He did homework 6 times out of
12 so far. His classroom behavior has improved recently.
”


Check Mr. Park’s website whenever you are absent. You must read and understand the “ lesson slide ” from previous day before coming to the next class.

You must also send me an email, explaining why you were absent that day before or after the absence. Otherwise I assume that you skipped. This means that you will get zero on the quiz or test we did on that day.


Attend class everyday. Do not skip any class.

Be on time . If you are late 5 minutes or more, you will be sent to the office for late slip.


Pay attention to the teacher.

Do your classwork (or homework) 4 or 5 times a week.
