How to Study and Make
the Most of Your Time

Effective study skills must be
practiced in order for you to improve. It is not enough to simply "think about"
studying; you have to actually do it, and in the process use information from
what you do to get better. This is the central idea of this page. All that
follows depends on this single concept. There is a saying that goes like this:
"Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect." If you want to
be an achiever, take this saying to heart.

The value of a schedule

Before you even begin to
think about the process of studying, you must develop a schedule. If you don't
have a schedule or plan for studying, then you will not have any way of
allocating your valuable time when the unexpected comes up. A good, well thought
out schedule can be a lifesaver. It's up to you to learn how develop a schedule
that meets your needs, revise it if necessary, and most important, follow
it.

A schedule saves
time

All schedules should be made with the idea that they
can be revised. A good schedule keeps you from wandering off course. A good
schedule, if properly managed, assigns time where time is needed, but you've got
to want to do it!

Making every hour
count

A schedule should take into account every class,
laboratory, lecture, social event, and other work in which you engage. There are
givens such as classes and so on that have to be incorporated. You must focus on
the other "free time" available and how you will use it. Make a weekly schedule
and block off the 24 hour day in one hour increments. Indicate times for
classes, labs, lectures, social, and work time. Also block off a period for
sleeping each day. With what is left over, plan time for study. This gives you a
rough road map of the time available. Of course, you can revise your schedule as
circumstances warrant.

When to
study

The problem of when to study is critical. A good rule
of thumb is that studying should be carried out only when you are rested, alert,
and have planned for it. Last minute studying just before a class is usually a
waste of time.

Studying for lecture
courses

If your study period is before the lecture class,
be sure you have read all the assignments and made notes on what you don't
understand. If the study period is after the lecture class, review the notes you
took during class while the information is still fresh.

Studying for recitation courses

For
classes that require recitation, such as foreign language, be sure to schedule a
study period just before the class. Use the time to practice. Sometimes,
practice with others can help sharpen your skills in a before-class study
period.

Making and revising a
schedule

Don't be afraid to revise your schedule. Schedules
are really plans for how you intend to use your time. If your schedule doesn't
work, revise it. You must understand that your schedule is to help you develop
good study habits. Once you have developed them, schedule building becomes
easier.
