How to Take on College Studying

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 a 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 a 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 for each study sessions.
Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day. 
Take breaks if you need them so you don't waste time looking at material and not absorbing it. 
Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.
Keep up with workload and seek help when you need it.

Develop Good Study Habits:

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college 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 college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, 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 how many hours you need to study everyday. Then make a schedule. 

• Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on the weekends. 
• Consider what time of day you are most alert ----- there are morning people and night owls ---- and try to schedule your studying accordingly.
• Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

10 Times Management Tips for Students

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day: Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep: Your brain needs rest to perform at it peck. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others:If phones calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of the day and not to expect a response at other times. 

Tip 8 . Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments. 

Tip 9. Don't waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of Agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you're supposed to be doing is not productive , and can increase your stress. 

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities. 

You can't do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

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 you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives you directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4.Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed you spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Habit 7: Sharpen The Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time 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 and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.Mind: think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze.  Seek to read a good book each month. The each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive "Self-Talk."

Habit 6: Synergize 

 Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could 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. Synergy 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. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And teh foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could  alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Habit 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. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication sill there is: active listening.

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, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t 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, or the tone feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk and listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood--- listen.

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster  the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere an atmosphere of Win-Win 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 is both nice and though all at once. 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. It’s both of us it’s not matter of who gets either you or me . there 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 feeling it bring on. The test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternative 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.

Habit 3: Put Things First

Habit 3 is about Will and Will not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting things first also means learning to overcome  fears and being  strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management:

Quadrant 1: Things that are Important and Urgent

Quadrant 2: Things that are Important but not Urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are not Important but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and not Urgent

1. important & urgent	2. important but not urgent
3. not important but urgent	4. not important and not urgent

 Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to send our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here's where priorities come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1. Control of your life

2. Balance

3. High Performance 

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on teh prize and reach for it.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind 

If teens aren't clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

Keep your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you defiantly need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school – that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity-- that you earned it with perfect honesty.

(By: Sean Covey but modified) 

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jangle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with the peer pressure? Mountain? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say.” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential. Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning-but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable Internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor—especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particular true in the online government. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

…is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them required significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

Successful Students 10

 Successful Students 10

10. Successful students are good time mangers. Successful Students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It's your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don't make academics harder on yourself then it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don't wait until tomorrow to do it!
