How
to Take on College Studying
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, your apartment or the library.
·
For completing problem sets or brainstorming a 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 readying book chapters or working on a research paper,
you are probably better off in a less social environment.
Improve Your Study Habits
Here are some 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 to 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 no 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.
