A) WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

1. FIXED STUDY PERIODS (approx. 25 minutes). Develop fixed study periods, no more than 30-40min. long. Break for 5 min at the end of EACH study period.
2. REVIEW class material thoroughly EVERY WEEK.
3. PRIORITIZE ASSIGNMENTS:  Begin with most difficult, and end with least difficult.
4. STUDY LOCATION: Choose a study location with no distractions, and quick access to bathroom.
5. SPARE TIME:  Never waste time.  During free periods of time, mentally review the theory of your last class lecture.  If notes are at hand, quickly review the lecture TOPIC-HEADINGS (repeatedly: 5-10 times.  This creates a mental framework for the lecture content.).
6. JUST BEFORE CLASS:  Quickly browse/review previous class notes just before each lecture.  Pointer:  End social engagements 7-10 min. before class to make this more practical.
7. DAILY REVIEW:  Review all work covered during the day, at a designated daily study times.
8. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS:  Special projects and assignments will be assigned.  Leave OPEN SLOTS on your weekly time planner/schedule for “SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS.”
