Hello, my name is Miss Gwen Falin and I am Tennessee State University's
Veteran Prior Learning Accessor.
My office is located in the Student Support Services on the third floor of the Avon Williams Campus. Today
I will be discussing how to develop and strengthen smart study skills.
Everyday tips and tricks!
Place your syllabus in the front of your notebook and binder.
Always make note of changed due dates and schedule changes. This may prevent falling behind in studying and project deadlines.
Create a time frame to start on large projects.
Consider this when you "clock in" to allow plenty of time to prepare.
Setting personal goals. Strive for A's in all subjects. Make your education a priority in your life.
Remind yourself that the sacrifices you make now will pay off in the future and remember college is not forever, you will finish.
Motivation.
When you start to get burned out consider creating a vision board. Have a mental image of yourself in the field and position
you are working toward and remind yourself of the sacrifices you made to get into college and
the rewards you will reap when you graduate.
During class arrive early, confident and ready to learn. A positive mindset is key to success.
Consider recording lectures to refer to later. If you do not understand something
-- speak up. If you still do not understand simply ask the instructor if you can stay after class for further instruction.
Try to sit in the front row and try to engage in class conversations and discussions.
Be patient when a classmate ask questions and learn from the answers provided.
Make an efforts to stay focused and alert and do not pack up to leave too early.
Consider a mind map.
Using a mind map. As you can see on the diagram a mind map breaks down four areas of academic success.
First is class work. It is essential to concentrate listen and take notes.
Second is study. Productive studying involves revising, reviewing and recalling information.
Third is motivation. Try to stay positive and again visualize your success.
and last but not least is homework. Do your homework well, do it now and learn from your mistakes.
Mind maps are good for the visual learner.
Mind maps may assist in establishing solid study habits and may be used in the exam to help you structure your answers.
Study tips.
Set a regular time to study and try not to study after 11:00 p.m
Strive for A's and be accepting of your grades after trying your best
remove all distractions
Have all the necessary supplies and clear a table and a quiet place to study.
Refer to your study calendar often.
Consider creating a study calendar in your phone as well just for quick reference and
reserve time for each subject, but be realistic in how much time you need to study and
consider making study cards with index cards. Have a friend quiz you. Make three piles
What you know--what you sort of know and what you need the most help with it
Once you know something move on.
Consider bringing your cards to study groups and remember if you cannot explain something verbally, you cannot explain it on an exam.
And be encouraged when you grasp a new concept. Be
encouraging to your study partners as well.
When preparing for an exam
requiring an explanation of a multi-step process try using silly techniques for memorizing.
Rhyming -- word association--acronyms even making up a song are fun ways to making studying more bearable.
When studying, do not wait too long to ask for help
if you don't understand something. Ask your classmates questions,
sign up for tutoring or ask your professor and when taking, date them and note any videos shown.
When preparing for a presentation, record yourself speaking while practicing in the mirror.
Do you sound confident? Are you speaking for the correct length of time?
Have you covered all topics you wish to discuss? Have you allowed time for questions? The more you practice, the more confident you will be.
Find a good place to study. This means a desk with nothing on it
except the subject which you are studying and try your best to have a regular time and place for your studying.
Study session. Break down study sessions into four parts. The first part is organizing your subject matter
efficiently. Two: review and complete today's assignments and turn them in on time.
Three: research and revise information for exams and Four: retain and explain.
Don't make your study session too long; drink water and use the restroom before you begin and don't be intimidated by large projects.
Break down large tasks into smaller manageable ones. Do daily summaries of work covered in class in your own words.
Before you begin studying try not to over eat and if you have time,
try to take a walk before you begin just to clear your head.
Before you begin studying have a vision, have a plan. Create a study objective for the topics and deadlines noted.
Have all the materials necessary that you need to reach these study objectives.
When you're studying be patient with yourself.
This is the time that you learn how you learn and some people like to underline and highlight important ideas and vocabulary,
but keep your notes as neat as possible. Stop looking for excuses not to study and think about the end goal --
entering the classroom knowledgeable and confident.
Study habits.
Some people will use different colored ink for different subjects but concentrate on what is going on and try to avoid daydreaming.
Be realistic in what you are retaining and if should schedule additional study time for that topic.
Using your time wisely. Try not to fall behind on your studying that can be difficult
but again, try hard
It creates panic and makes retaining information more difficult and thinking about your "dead time." How can you use that more effectively?
Consider recording your lectures and listening to them when you are driving
riding or even exercising.
Motivation. When you feel overwhelmed and need encouragement look up
motivational videos on YouTube or even consider playing them as background noise while you are studying.
Help each other. Meet with classmates and see if you can share notes.
Consider breaking up a study guide in teaching each other the section that you looked up. Creating a live document
within a group may be beneficial due to conflicting schedules and that way you can review each other's notes and confirm the information
is correct and being retained.
Explain the answers out loud to yourself or to a classmate. Knowing the order of
processes helps with time management during your exam and review any quiz taken before the exam.
Learn the information that you missed and keep all your quizzes to refer to before midterms and finals.
Nutrition. Right now you're asking a lot from your mind and from your body. Make an effort to practice self-care.
Drinking water and striving to make smart food choices will help you stay healthy and avoid missing class due to illness.
Even the small healthy substitute can make a difference.
And during exam week, try to drink water and even though it will be difficult try to maintain a steady sleep schedule. Try to
have healthy and nutritious food on hand to help you get through the week.
Home time savers. The night before a busy or stressful day try to have your clothes laid out and your meals planned or even packed.
Even doing an extra 10 minutes the evening before exam day
can make the morning less stressful. Also communicate with your family and friends---
let them know that you are busy and when your busiest times of the semester are--this may reduce stress and distractions.
Schedule personal downtime and do not feel guilty for making time for yourself. Again
this is a stressful time for you and you have to create a work and life balance.
Consider creating small rewards for yourself after you reach a set goal --
a favorite snack or meal, watching a movie or even catching up with friends can help you create a healthy balance between
academic life and your personal life.
On the day of an exam only prepare the information that you are not confident with and leave with plenty of time to allow for traffic.
Of course bring a healthy snacks such as almonds and a banana and always bring water.
During the exam pace yourself read all the instructions very carefully and plan how much time you will need for each question
If you're stuck go to the next question
You can always come back to the unfinished one later
but never leave anything blank -- at least guess.
During the exam be confident --- you have prepared for this. If you start to feel anxious take a deep breath and re-read the
question. If you have extra time, review all of your questions and write as neatly as possible.
After the exam. If you are worried about your performance do not go through the answers with your classmates ---this may add to your anxiety.
Do not waste excess energy and time worrying about your grade. You did your best and you will know your results in due time
And congratulate yourself on completing the exam. College is a difficult time and
you are trying...never discount that fact and
remember the feeling you had during the exam. If you were confident, use that as
motivation to continue your current study skills, and if you were overly anxious use that has motivation to try harder and revise your study habits.
After the exam never brag about a grade remember that everyone has an off day and the subject which challenges them keep
a tally of all of your grades and average them often...knowing where you are academically assists in where to focus your study time.
Remember your predicted results and
think, hey, you can do this.
After the exam do not throw your study notes
Keep them organized and ready to reference for midterms and finals and if you did not achieve the goal you worked towards
don't beat yourself up. College is where you learn how to adapt and revise your work and study techniques.
