How to Take up 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 type of work you are
planning to do.
·
The best places to study have good light, a
comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually a 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 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 the workload and seek help when you need
it.
