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 planning to do.

·         The best places to study have good light, a comfortable tempeture and enough desk space --- usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·         For completing problems 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 discussions.

·         When you are reading book chapter or working in 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 though 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.

Being organized and using your time we are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·         Figure out what block of time you have available throughout the day, in the evening and on weekends.

·         Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls – and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for a marathon session.

10 Time Management Tips for Students Tips 5-10

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5.Review you’re your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6.Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tacks seem more difficult.

Tip 7.Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

 Tip 8.Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9.Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and increases your stress.

Tip 10.Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do everything once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.
