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 place-- 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
thoughts at your most productive time of
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 study
with or contact to ask questions.
·
Keep up with the workload and seek help when you
need it.
