Determination

Student Success Statement

"Success is dependent on effort."

- Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Effort is to try; furthermore, to try and attempt is to succeed. Succession is gained from attempts taking action into your own hands and not hoping to succeed with no attempts.

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 space – 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

·         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 thought at your most productive time of the day.

·         Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material and 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

Part1

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 40hours 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. Then make a schedule.

·         Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·         Consider what time of day you are most alert – there are morning people and night owls – and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

Time Management

10 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 certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you 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 the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.
