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.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3. Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience, will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it give you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives you direction.  

4. Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit.

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life it means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- body, mind, heart, and soul

1.       Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol , tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.       Mind.  Think positively.

                                 Habit 6     

Habit 6: Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either cloud alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergize doesn’t just happed. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is: Learning to celebrate differences.

A good back is a greater example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of the together that makes up the “sound”.  Each brand member brings his or her strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Habit 5

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. The habit will ensure our teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active learning.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, of the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn to listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

            CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win –Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s a plenty of success to go around. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win –Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings. Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible"  

It means that wen u do something wrong you shouldn't feel right about yourself. Because if you do good things that is when you should feel good about yourself not when you do something bad.
