When a student hears the word \u201cstudy\u201d they associate it with a boring notion. Students are sitting at their desk with opened laptops and notebook. Instead of taking notes and reviewing the material, students easily go on their phone and play video games, like Among Us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most students don\u2019t like studying. They lack the interest to do so, especially now, since most classes are online. However, finals are coming up and studying is highly important. Yes, studying can be overwhelming but there are many tips to help students during this process. What are some of those tips? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some other helpful tips from students in one of the GNST 101 Seminar for Academic Success classes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to write things down. \u201cIf it\u2019s not written down, it\u2019s not a plan. This is what I tell my students: if it\u2019s not a plan and it\u2019s just in your head, it\u2019s an idea,\u201d Director of Student Success Lisa Copenhaver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another key point includes studying in sections, especially when it comes to textbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBreaking information into chunks and manageable sections of reading has been huge for a lot of people,\u201d Student Success Coach and Academic Advisor Gretchen Nonemaker said. For example, \u201c…they got four chapters to read for something and they got to highlight every single thing on the page and that\u2019s how they\u2019re going to learn and they\u2019re realizing that\u2019s not how it works and we try to tell them you highlight 30% of what\u2019s on that paper and that\u2019s what\u2019s going to stick,\u201d Nonemaker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe key for preparing for finals and for studying is to study all along, of course, through the whole semester, and like I said make a schedule for yourself,\u201d Copenhaver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
