How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on 2 factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

The best places 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 ion 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 some simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·      Have a routine for when and where you want to 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 the 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 with the work load and seek help when you need it.
