Helpful Hints to Finish First
Break your study time into small chunks rather than large cram sessions; you will remember more and be able to get more accomplished.
Make a checklist to organize your time and keep track of what you complete as you study.
Use a study partner to reinforce the information that needs to be learned.
Use the library! Studying in a quiet place facilitates focus and concentration, and removes the distractions common to a residential space.
Create memory tools. Rhymes, mnemonics, flash cards and jingles help with retention.
Use all your senses! Outline and summarize your reading and lecture notes — read the summaries you create — recite what you know aloud. Writing, speaking, hearing and seeing the information, creates a synergistic effect that increases retention.
Make it your own. Restate course material in your own words. Using your own language makes course material familiar which, in turn, provides helpful memory cues.
Recharge your brain. Get enough sleep so your brain can function at its maximum potential.
Use your EOP tutor and/or visit the Student Learning Center for academic reinforcement.
Build in time for yourself when your study time is completed. Reward yourself for a job well done!
