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 or 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
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.
