Very few people in this world really like homework. While it can be interesting, helpful, and occasionally fun, overall - homework equals negative feelings. Do you hate homework? Do you put it off and BS your way through everything? Well here is a story, based on reality, of a young man who didn't keep up on his homework.
If you have been in that place even once you know that you never wish to visit it again. Learning to balance study time, class time, a social life, and a job during your college years can be less than pleasant and it always feels like one area or another ends up suffering. When it comes to optimizing study time, you can work to develop a few habits that will not only ensure that you never walk into a test unprepared, but may also help you reduce the amount of time required to retain the information you need.
Optimize your study time by first reducing your distractions. Turn the ringer of your phone off and place your phone in your bag, out of sight. Keep any music low so you will not be distracted by it, and ask any people to please leave you to your studies. Have in mind any study goals you have set and then dive right in. Don't forget to take the occasional break as you study to give your body and mind a rest from the mental and physical strain of sitting hunched over your textbooks and notes.
The first paper rolled around. The night before it was due, he finally gathered the will to write. He'd just sit down, throw out some flowery writing peppered with principles he had learned in class and that would be that. As he reviewed the syllabus for the paper's guidelines, he began realizing that his regular last-minute writing might not cut it. He was required to include fifteen reliable sources, including three personal interviews, and several examples from the text they had been assigned.
You may be going to Fort Collins College and you may just want to apply some of these learning strategies in the classroom. It is important to have an idea before you get started and that means that if you are going to test your audible learning, then you trust your instincts and put down your pencil and just listen. You could even do a recording so you can listen again later. You may have been taught to take notes before but that might not be the strategy that works best for you so just trust your learning and give it a try. Another thing that you could do is forgo the writing and start drawing models that will help you remember.
