Study Tips

By: Aryan

     We all feel the pressure going into the second semester, so here are some tips to get ahead on your assignments and make studying easier. First, use a calendar to keep track of your assignments. Luckily, if you use Canvas, you have one built in, but if not, it is recommended to plot all due dates on a calendar. Secondly, use your free time. There is always a bit of extra time you can manage during the school day, so instead of talking to your friends or playing games, get started on an assignment. You’ll be more likely to come back once you start. Another trick is to complete assignments as soon as you can. This will free up more time for more important things in the future. If you wait, you will have too many assignments to manage and get stressed out.

     One study tip to use is to listen to music without lyrics. This will keep you from getting bored and stimulate the brain. Music with words will just distract you. Another study tip is to pretend you are teaching the material to students. Explain the material in your own words, and you will recollect your knowledge when it really matters. 

     Before we end, let’s talk about study groups or partners. Sometimes study partners can help you go over more material, but most times they can distract you. Only study with partners if they won’t distract you. Hopefully, you will find the tips helpful. Good luck with the second semester!
