Study Tips

 

TOP 5 STUDY TIPS

  • Identify an appropriate setting that is comfortable and conducive to studying with little distractions.
  • Discipline yourself to allow adequate study sessions during the week and weekends. Don’t procrastinate but make time to review notes, review text, etc. Approach study time as a priority.
  • Proper preparation for class is key. All-night cram sessions rarely pay off. Know when assignments are due and when all exams are scheduled. That way, you can appropriately plan and feel prepared for assignments and exams.
  • Participate in study groups to discuss course material and preparation for exams and other assignments.
  • Take advantage of study resources on campus. These locations include TLC (Tutoring and Learning Center), the Math Lab in Lappin Hall, quiet zones in the Camden-Carroll Library, private locations in ADUC, etc.
