How to Take on College Studying

Part 3

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·      Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·      Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·      Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·      Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·      Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·      Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

How to Take on College Studying

Part 1

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 40 hours 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 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.
