How to Take on College Studying Part 2
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, 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’t study with or contact ta ask question.
· , keep up with the workload and seek
help when you need it.

How to Take on College Studying
Part 1
Develop good study habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in
high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous that
those you are used to.
You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.
Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week
on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.
Being organized and using your time well 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
blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on
the weekend.
· 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
sessions.

Tips
5-10
Tip 5. Review 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
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 tasks 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 you activities
according. 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 can increase your stress.
Tip 10.determine your priorities
You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance
of each item. The set realistic goals that are attainable.
