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 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 chapter or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in 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 you most productive time of the day.

·      Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but 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.
