HOMEWORK & STUDY

• Take control. Make a list of all the things you need to do. Divide your workload into manageable chunks. Prioritise. Schedule your time realistically. Stick to your deadlines.
• Get into the habit of actively studying each day.
• Choose a quiet, non-distracting place to study.
• Study for short focused blocks of time.
• Organise new information. Create outlines, charts, flashcards, timelines, and concept maps to help you visualize relationships. Try to integrate what you're studying with what you already know.
• Occasionally, study with a friend. Quiz each other, compare notes, discuss discrepancies.
• When you feel yourself losing focus, switch the type of task you are working on, the subject that you are studying, or the environment that you are in. Take a break and walk around a bit. Stop studying when you are no longer being productive.
• Review your notes just before going to sleep.
