Build good study habits to create success!
- Create a quiet space to study (reduce loud music and TV)
- Study at specific times each week
- Reward yourself after each study segment (short break, food, walks, music)
- Use a calendar
- Have a positive attitude
- Be an active learner and ask questions
- Develop good study techniques (create associations and metaphors to relate new ideas to what you already know and to improve understanding)
Be careful with these major problem areas:
- Procrastination
- Get started quickly. Read the instructions. Use a schedule.
- Concentration
- Reduce or remove external distractions. Study with others or see a tutor.
- Boredom
- Plan to work shorter periods. Switch subject matter more often. Vocalize, visualize and symbolize.
