How to Take on College Studying
How to Take on College Studying
Part 2
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

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

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.

I think that this

Tips 1-4
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
<!--[if!

vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products,

wealthy, and wise.”

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.

People don’t 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

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 3: put first
things first
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 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.

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

Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
http://www.plymouth.edu/offfice/online-education/online-learning/profile-of-a-successful-student/
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.
