How to Take on College Studying
Part 2
Choose Where to Study
Where
you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best
able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.
·
The
best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk
space—usually you dorm room, your apartment or the library.
·
For
completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to
study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available
for discussion.
·
When
you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably
better off in a less social environment.
Improve Your Study Habits
Here are
simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:
- · Have a routine for where and when you study.
- · Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.
- · Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.
- · Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.
- · Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.
- · Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
