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 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 book chapter or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habit

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 with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Choose the right!!!
