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 your dorm room,
you 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.
·
Do things that are harder or require
more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.
·
Choose reasonable and specific goals
that you can accomplish for each study session.
·
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!!
