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 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 sessions
·
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 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
