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.
o  The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space- usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.
o  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.
o  When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in less social environment.
Improve Your Study Habits
Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:
o  Have a routine for where and when you study.
o  Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.
o  Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.
o  Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.
o  Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.
o  Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
