How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

Choose Where to Study

ü 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 good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space- usually your dorm room, you 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 book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.
 

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

ü Have a routine for where and when you study.

ü Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study sessions.

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.

ü Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.
