Study Assistance
Advice for Study Assistance:
- Study in sections of time. 20-50 minute time periods followed by a brief break (5-10 minutes) is the most effective way to study.
- Use daylight hours. An hour of studying during the day is worth two at night! Do the work that requires the most concentration (typically reading) earliest in the day.
- Rank your classes and be sure to spend time on your most challenging class(es) everyday and early in the day.
- Study actively. Ask yourself questions, review your notes regularly, discuss key concepts with peers and course professor.
- Set aside time specifically for studying.
