How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

 

Choose Where to Study

Where you should depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work of 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 chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

·         Having 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.
