Study Tips
- Manage your time by scheduling in study time.
- Use a daily, weekly, and monthly scheduler to help keep you on track.
- List when assignments are due and plan backwards from their due dates.
- Create a space that is set aside for your college work.
- Have the tools you need on hand to study such as highlighters, computer, paper, calculator, correct lighting, etc.
- Study in short time blocks, no more than an hour at a time. Break larger assignments into smaller pieces.
- Schedule in extra time for the unexpected (the car that breaks down or the printer that jams, etc).
- Take notes in class and during reading - Review them! Ask yourself questions and then answer them in your own words. Write questions you don't know the answer to in the margins and ask your instructor.
- Class attendance is important! It is a time to ask questions, review information, and learn material that isn't found in your text books.
- Form a study group with others in your class.
