  2. Go early and stay until the end • Sit in front • Participate and ask questions • Take notes • Instead of having to teach yourself the material, you can spend your study time reviewing what you need to know Attend All Classes and Actively Engage

  3. Study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour you are in class (at least 20-30 hours per week) every week! • Be realistic and keep them like appointments • Study in 1-2 hour blocks with breaks Schedule Regular Study Hours

  4. Lists help you take control of what you have to do • Know what is coming up in each class • Prioritize your tasks Create “To Do” Lists

  5. Be aware of your best time of day to study; when do you have the most energy? • Find a study location that works for you. Learn to Study in the Best Environment and Time for You

  6. What can I realistically accomplish in the next 45 minutes. • Study your most difficult subjects first • Don’t worry if you don’t reach that goal in your allotted time. You can reschedule the task to another study session or come back to it later that night. Set a Specific Goal for Each Study Session

  7. Reading is “studying” • Break reading in to small chunks • Read “actively not passively” • Take notes when you read Keep up with Reading

  8. Studies have shown that you can only recall 20% of the information from a lecture the next day. • Reviewing notes keeps the information fresh in your mind and will save you from cramming for an exam in the future! Review Your Notes Daily

  9. Your workload will be spread out • The assignment won’t seem so overwhelming • You won’t be waiting until the last minute to finish Breakdown Large Tasks

  10. Break up your study time into different methods of studying (reading, note-taking, homework, writing papers) • Vary the subjects that you are studying • A change in material and way of studying is like giving your brain a break. Vary Your Work

  11. When you complete a study goal, reward yourself • This gives you an incentive to reach your goals and will help motivate you to get your work done. • Take time to relax, exercise and have fun. Reward Yourself
