How
to Do better in your Studies
1.
Set up a quiet study space
It
is important to have a designated study area that is free from distraction and
will allow you to study effectively. When you settle into your study area, you
will know you are there to learn. This mindset will help with your overall
motivation to study. Choose a study space that is quiet, well-lit and in a
low-traffic area. Don’t, say, study at a dining table when you’re going to be
constantly distracted by housemates or family members moving in and out of the
kitchen! If there’s nowhere suitable for study at home, try your local or
university library. Libraries are naturally quiet and many have designated
areas for study.
2.
Do not study more than an hour at a time without taking a break.
In
fact, if you are doing straight memorization, do not spend more than 20 to 30
minutes at a time. Here is the rationale behind taking such small bites
out of study time. First, when you are under an imposed time restriction, you
use the time more efficiently. Have you noticed how much studying you
manage to cram into the day before big exams? That is why it is called
"cramming." Second, psychologists say that you learn best in short
takes. In fact, studies have shown that as much is learned in four
one-hour sessions distributed over four days as in one marathon six-hour
session during one day.
3.
Understand the Study Cycle
The Study Cycle, developed by Frank Christ, breaks down the different parts of studying: previewing, attending class, reviewing, studying, and checking your understanding. Although each step may seem obvious at a glance, all too often students try to take shortcuts and miss opportunities for good learning. For example, you may skip a reading before class because the professor covers the same material in class; doing so misses a key opportunity to learn in different modes (reading and listening) and to benefit from the repetition and distributed practice that you’ll get from both reading ahead and attending class.
