4/13/2006 Study TimeDo you have some problems with your study? Or do you know what to do when you want to have some changes? Here is some experience and suggestion, hope to be helpful.
 Make A Plan
It sounds easy to write a study plan on the paper, but it's hard to do everyday as planned. I don't know whether you've made a plan before, but I know each successful person has his own plan.
Use Your Time Effectively
Are you a morning person or a night-hawk? Are you sleepy and distracted after lunch? Try to schedule study time during your peaks. Don't waste time when you're less mentally alert - use it to accomplish simple, routine tasks.
Develop Your Concentration
How long is your concentration span? Find out by recording your start time when you read from a textbook or other course readings. As soon as your mind begins to drift, record the time again. One way to improve your concentration is by reading actively: try using a highlighter, making notes of significant points in a notebook, recording questions about items you don't understand, trying to predict what will be on the next page and connecting what you're reading with other things you've read.
Deal with Distractions
Sometimes it seems that distractions are coming at you from all sides, and probably they are. Distractions may be internal - the wanderings of your own mind, or external/environmental. Learning to manage both types is essential. Be aware of your optimal study conditions and use this awareness to reduce distractions in the environment. Do you have enough light to read without straining? How is the temperature? Are there other people around?
I know they're not enough, but I'm sure you'll feel better after reading. Good luck. |
