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 you can accomplish for each study session.
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!
