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 compelling
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
a book chapter 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 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.
