Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned- you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

1.       Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

2.       Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest-chapters, substance.  

3.       Look up any words that you don’t understand.

a.       Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

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.

1.     The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desks space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

2.     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.

3.     When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a social environment.  

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:  

1.     Have a routine for where and when you study.

2.     Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

3.     Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

4.     Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but absorbing it.

5.     Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

6.     Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Develop Good Studying Habits

In collage, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a collage class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.

Think of collage as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, abs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.  

Ø Figure out what block of time you have available throughout the day, in the evening and on weekends.

Ø Consider what time of day you are most alert-there is morning people and night owls-and try to schedule your studying accordingly.  

Ø Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.
