Whew! You made it through the first week of classes! Now what? Use the following study tips to continue on with your successful semester.
Study Groups - Get together with a couple of students from class to go over class materials once or twice a week. Not only is it a great way to meet new friends, but you can go over work with peers to better comprehend or feel confident about the class.
Time Management- Your time is precious. It's best to find a schedule that works for you and stick to it. Try to study at the same time every day, pretty soon it will be a habit. Avoid cramming for tests the night before. By studying every day, you'll be well rested because you didn't have to pull an all-nighter.
Attend Class - Be on time, sit up front and actively participate. You'll retain information and be ready for assignments and exams.
Ask Questions - Your instructors list their office hours in the syllabus. If you have a question, don't hesitate to stop by their office and ask.
Visit the Library - Your MPCC libraries offer a wealth of information! Study at any of the tables or in one of the comfortable seating areas. Your librarians are happy to proof-read any papers and look at your citations for formatting. Don't forget, if your library doesn't have it they can get it from another library within a week!
Live Life - Don't forget to take some time out of your day for me time. Whether it's only a 15 minute brisk walk, it's just enough to clear your head and start in on the next task.
Keep in mind that everyone is different. Find what works for you to make the most out of your education!
