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.

· The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk place-- 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

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 each study session.

· Do things that are harder or require more intense thoughts 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 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.

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Than make a schedule.

<!--[if !support Lists]-->· <!--[endive]-->Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evening and on weekends.

<!--[if !support Lists]-->· <!--[endive]-->Consider what time of day you are most alert-- there are mornings people and night owls-- and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

<!--[if !support Lists]-->· <!--[endive]-->Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or a time sitting down for marathon sessions.

10 Time Management Tips for Students

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at a certain time of day and not to expect a response at another time.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish that importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that it is better to be all by yourself than to be with a group of friends that will just make you choose the wrong. Sometimes it is good to be alone so that you can think for yourself for a while. I would rather be alone than to be with people who do drugs and just don’t care about anything.

Organizing Your Life

Managing your time well is an important element of success -- especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and lifestyle, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of you time and organizing your life.

Tip 1. Make a To-Do List Every Day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

Tip 2. Use Spare Minutes Wisely.

When you’re commuting on the bus or train, use the time to get some reading done.

Tip 3. It’s Okay to Say No.

If your friend asks to go to a movie on Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it’s okay to say no. Keep your short- and long-term priorities in mind.

Tip 4. Find the Right Time.

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late at night.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensation within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives direction, even truth north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and path you need to trod.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditation, and reflecting are excellent Soul-Sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or a journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

 

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew them. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- body, mind, heart, and soul

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn't have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value difference and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn't just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Habit 5

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one month and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood- listen. Once they feel it, however they will tell you more than you may want to hear. listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. the rest comes from body language (53 oercent0) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our  voice (40 percent). most people are eager to talk and had rather talk  than listen. this means we should have listen twice as much as we talk.

Habit 4

4. Think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is impossible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking win-win is the good feelings it brings on. The truth test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your adjustment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill heart with happy and serene thoughts. it will give you confidence. even fill you with light. Think win-win or no deal,.

Habit three is all about WILL and WILL NOT power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deal with things that are: important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of tie management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important or urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that is not important and not urgent.

 

1.Important & urgent	2.Important but not urgent
3.Not important but are urgent	4.NOT important and NOT urgent

Quadrant 2: is the ideal place to spend your time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1. Control your life

2. Balance

3. High performance

So in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eye on the prize and reach for it.

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is-‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.”

Og Mandino

Reflection: if you decide to succeed in life you have to choose the right make smart choices. If you decide to not make the smart choices you will not succeed you will just go in to failure. Failure will come to you if you choose the wrong. example: if you go and help people that need it you will have the key of success in your hands and if you decide not to help you will unlock the door to failure.

Habit 2

Habit 2: begin with the end in mind

If teens aren’t clear where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize,” determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind: know where you are going.

Habit 1

Habit 1: be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsibility for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captains of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Be proactive and take the interactive.

owns or has easy access to a computer with Internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning- but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable Internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

What I think about this quote by Mr. Haymore is that it’s likely correct. You don’t need fortune to be happy. Because it doesn’t matter if you’re the most famous person, it doesn’t matter if you’re the best overall player. What matters is how you endure those actions by THE way you play.

A successful student . . .

. . . Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

. . . Is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writings are the basis of most courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is Available to assist you.

. . . is willing to be a member of an online community.

goodnessis the only investment that never fails.”

- Henry David Thoreau

Reflection: I think this quote means that you can only invest in what is good and great but you can never invest in what is wrong and bad. In life you can only see reality but never the fantasy, but you will always have time to invest in the ones you love (family, friends, house, etc.).

Successful Student

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learn that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in good control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will ether control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your on course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills program for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students. Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called the Ten Commandments for effective study skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
