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.
ü
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.
ü
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.
ü
When you are
reading a book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better
off in a less social environment.
ü
Improve Your
Study Skills: here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on
studying:
ü
Have a routine
for where and when to study.
ü
Chose
reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.
ü Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your
most productive time of the day.
ü Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at
material but not absorbing it.
ü Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact
to ask questions.
