How to take on college studying

Part 2

Choose where to study

Where you should study depends on the two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the types 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 problems 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 research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habits

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 teach study session.

-do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day

-take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing

-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
