Choose where to study

Where you should study depend in two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·         The best place to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough dark space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·         For completing problems 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.

Improving Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·         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 though at your most productive time of the day.

·         Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·         Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask question.

·         Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.
