How to Take on College
Studying
Part 2
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 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 some 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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
