- Make breaks and snacks into a reward system for studying well. Join a study group Divide up work, share ideas and test each other 3. Flash cards Use small cards to put questions or equations on. Put a question on one side and the answer or data on the other. Go through the stack discarding the cards you know Carry the cards with you as a portable notebook and review them in spare moments 4. Lists, charts, diagrams After reading your notes, see if you can rewrite the information in a new way Now reproduce these ideas without looking at your notes 5. Listen to music Listening to music seems to help SOME student Slow, soothing instrumental music works best. (7 – 10 minutes)
- Good study skills start before class begins Before attending class: Preview topics that will be covered in that session Look at major headings and try to get a feel for what each section is about Go back and carefully read the materials Use place marker to mark concepts you don’t understand or need help with. - During class the markers will remind you to pay special attention when that topic is covered, or ask the instructor for help if needed. (5 – 7 minutes)
- After reviewing the appropriate material, you are ready to begin your exercises. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of these exercises: Accuracy should be your primary goal When working problems involving new concepts, you should take your times and concentrate on the concept or process being demonstrated Don’t be concerned with speed It takes time and practice to become proficient 4. Remember that learning the reason for doing a particular process is often more important than learning the process itself (4 – 6 minutes)
- Many times what you are learning is similar to a topic or concept that you are already familiar with. Other times you may be learning something totally new and will find it difficult to relate to any previous experience. It is important that you learn to make decisions based on comparing and contrasting concepts. You must learn to identify concepts that look almost identical but are not. When comparing concepts, learn to ask: Is this the same as other concepts or topics you have studied? Is this similar to other topics or concepts you are familiar with? Is it different? How is it different? By asking yourself these questions you can avoid making careless errors and eliminate needless confusion (2 – 4 minutes)
- In many areas of study each new concept or skill is dependent on those previously learned. If a certain skill has not been learned well enough, it will most likely affect your ability to learn the next concept or skill. Remember: Simply passing an exam or making it through a topic is no cause for celebration. Success comes when the knowledge and skills presented have been mastered 2. Constant review and practice of previous topics will pay big dividends in understanding new topics. A skill is truly mastered only when it becomes consistent and automatic. (2 – 4 minutes)
- After working a problem or completing a new section, it is always a good idea to take a few moments and consider what you have just done. Think carefully about how the problems or examples relate to what you have previously learned. 1. How are they the same or different from those already studied? 2. What new ideas or procedures were introduced? 3. Are you comfortable with your level of understanding? 4. Do you need to go back and review before moving to the next topic? An honest self evaluation of your skills and understanding may be the single most important step you can take to ensure your continued success. (3 – 4 minutes)
