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 your 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  

·         Doing things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day.

·         Take breaks of you need them so you wont 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 work load and seek help when you need it.
