  2. 10 Steps to Good Studying #1 Set Goals • Make a list of what you want to accomplish as a student. Having a clear set of goals will help you to get to where you want to be. #2 Time Management • Use an agenda or an appointment book and write down all your appointments, due dates for assignments and other important events. #3 Know your Learning Style • Pay attention to your learning style. Are you a visual learner or hands on? Explore different strategies of learning and find what fits best

  3. 10 Steps to Good Studying Cont’d. #4 Be an Active Reader • Be a text detective: ask your text good questions and it will yield good answers. #5 Participate in Study Groups • Share the load of reading and studying with other students – you will learn better by teaching them, and you will be exposed to ideas you didn’t come up with on your own. #6 Take Notes • Use the Cornell, outline, mapping or charting method to condense and synthesize reading, lectures and discussions.

  4. 10 Steps to Good Studying Cont’d. #7 Organize your study materials • If you organize your materials as you proceed through a course, you will retrieve information with greater ease later. #8 Draft papers • Never turn in the first draft of a paper – always leave time to re-work it before your professor sees it. #9 Slow down on tests • Anxiety makes you skip over parts of questions. Read every word carefully. #10 Don’t replace protein with caffeine • Protein and complex carbohydrates are an energy source that won’t leave you jittery.
