How to Take on College
Studying
Part 2
Choose where to study
Where you should study
depends on the two factors: the environment in which you are best able to
concentrate and the types 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 problems 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 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 teach 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
respect and can study with contact to ask questions.
×
keep up with the workload and
seek help when you need it.
