Hi, I’m Chevonnese,
I never liked studying so I found ways to trick myself to absorb the material. As a lecturer, I find that my students are suffering from the same troubles. So I am sharing with you my techniques.
I hope they help.

SS
The BeginningBefore the semester or the school year begins:● Establish a sleep pattern● Start reading the
textbooks or reading material (if you know what they are)

SS
In The Class● Use different colour pens
to make jottings based on what was said.
● Listen to what is said first and then make your notes.
● Use shorthand when writing notes.

SS
Colour It UpUse a colour system to find certain information in your books easier. For example:● Pink: Definitions● Purple: In my own words● Green: Formulas● Black/ Blue: Ordinary

SS
On That DayRewrite your notes in your own words and to your understanding. This activity will reinforce what you learned for the day. And highlight what you are not clear on.

SS
Index CardsExtract key information e.g. formulas, quotes, a series of events, mnemonics, etc. and write them on index cards. You can use these on the go or before an exam.
![Page 9: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SS
On The WallWrite down key notes and post them on the walls. So during mundane activities such as brushing your teeth, combing your hair or talking on the phone, you can be studying.

SS
Group ReadingThere’s an entire textbook to read for the course. Each member of the group takes three or four chapters to read and then teach the other members of the team your section.
![Page 11: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SS
Teach ItIf you can teach the topic(s) to someone else, you will:1. reinforce what you have
learned;2. translate it into your own
words;3. be able to access the
information easier.
![Page 12: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SS
Memory Games● Make associations to make
the topic easier to remember.
● Tell a story with the topic(s).
● Use Mnemonics.

SS
Record ItRecord yourself reading your notes. You can play it when you are sleeping, on your way to school, or when you are working out.
![Page 14: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SS
Schedule ItWhen are you most productive? When are you available? Make note of your class, sleep, study, group meeting, and down times. Every hour of the week should be planned.
![Page 15: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SS
Q. vs. Q.Schedule different times for studying for qualitative classes vs. quantitative classes. I find that studying Math (quantitative courses) are better at night and History (qualitative courses) in the day.
![Page 16: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SS
ComfortSelect a study area(s) that is comfortable but not too comfortable and away from distractions. You want to be in a state where you are receptive to the information but at the same time not put you to sleep.
![Page 17: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SS
Your GoalBefore you start studying you must know what you would like to accomplish at the end of the session. Is it realistic? Can you accomplish it for the time you scheduled?
![Page 18: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SS
Power NapsDon’t be afraid of taking a 10 minute power nap. It will rejuvenate your mind and make you more receptive to the information. Just don’t take them all the time.
![Page 19: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SS
Test YourselfFind questions that cover the topic that you are studying. Monitor your progress. Identify your weak areas. Did you accomplish your goal? Check out the quiz section of http://www.instagrok.com/.

SS
Group StudyingBest when the group is no more than 4 persons. You are looking for persons who complement your talents. If all of you are the same, then all of you might understand it the same way.
![Page 21: How To Graduate With: Strategic Studying](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a5e9571a28abb6128b47d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SS
BalanceBalance group and individual studying. There should be time for group studying AND also individual studying. You will need to teach or learn a different perspective. And there will be times when you need to absorb it yourself.
