Strategies on using time: Develop blocks of study time About 50 minutes? How long does it take for you to become restless? Some learners need more frequent breaks for a variety of reasons More difficult material may also require more frequent breaks Schedule weekly reviews and updates Prioritize assignments When studying, get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or task Develop alternative study places free from distractions to maximize concentration Got "dead time"? Think of using time walking, riding, etc. for studying “bits” Review studies and readings just before class Review lecture material immediately after class (Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours without review) Schedule time for critical course events Papers, presentations, tests, etc. |
