Take Control of Homework

So it doesn’t Control You

Part 2

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wondering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People progress information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read aloud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

                  Reinforce what you’ve already learned during the day.

                  Build study habits that are essential in college.

                  Prepare for your classes.

                  Get a sense of progress.

                  Here are some tips to help you with homework more efficiently and effectively.

                  Set the Mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

Know Where to Begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them all at the end.

Study at the Same Time Every Day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time Productively.
