How to Take on College Studying Part 2
Choose Where to Study
Where you should 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 problems 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 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 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.
