How to Take on College Studying Part 1


How to Take on College Studying
Part 1
Develop Good Study Habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.
You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of a college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.
Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.
Decide When to Study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.
·         Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.
·         Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your study accordingly.
·         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement
“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is—‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.’ “
-Og Mandino
This statement means that there is a difference between failure and success. Being successful means being able so surpass challenges that you are confronted with in life. Being successful means adopting good habits. Failing means that you don’t try to overcome the obstacles that are put out. Failing means that you adopt the bad habits. An example of being successful is practicing something that you are not really good at, practicing becomes a habit and you get better at it. An example of failing is not practicing the things that you need to work on.
