Answer:
168. That’s how many hours there are in a week. If you’re a student, you probably feel like this isn’t enough. I know… You have so many assignments to do, projects to work on, and tests to study for. Plus, you have other activities and commitments. And I’m sure you want to have a social life, too. So here are a couple of ideas of how to study smart and become a better student.
1. Learn the same information in a variety of ways.
It has been shown that different media stimulate different parts of the brain. So, to learn a specific topic, you could do the following.
- Read the class notes
- Read the textbook
- Watch a Khan Academy video
- Create a mind map
- Teach someone what you learned
2. Review the information periodically, instead of cramming.
- 1st review: 1 day after learning the new information
- 2nd review: 3 days after the 1st review
- 3rd review: 7 days after the 2nd review
- 4th review: 21 days after the 3rd review
- 5th review: 30 days after the 4th review
- 6th review: 45 days after the 5th review
- 7th review: 60 days after the 6th review
3. Don’t multitask.
Effective students focus on just one thing at a time. So don’t try to study while also intermittently replying to text messages, watching TV, and checking your Twitter feed.
- Turn off notifications on your phone
- Put your phone away, or turn it to airplane mode
- Log out of all instant messaging programs
- Use an app like Freedom
- Close all of your Internet browser windows that aren’t related to the assignment you’re working on
- Clear the clutter from your study area
( you can use any of this info for you final paragraph, but I hope this helps)
