How to take on college studying
Do the reading:
You need to do more than just read the chapters you
are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:
Don’t skim. Read all
material carefully.
Break up difficult
assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even
paragraphs.
Look up any words
that you don’t understand.
Pause to think about
whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about
anything that is unclear.
Take notes instead of
highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.
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 Skills:
here are simple steps you rephrase the key points.
Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignmet you read.
Choose the Right!!!
