Schedule fixed blocks of time. HOW?
Make a tentative weekly schedule on the convenient form found
on the reverse side.
- List all classes and other fixed activities.
- Add time needed for meals, sleep, job, travel, grooming,
etc.
- Estimate and list time needed for studying each subject,
generally 2 to 3 hours credit per week. However, individuals
vary. Some may need more time in certain subjects than
others.
- Find your periods of peak efficiency and periods when
you are likely to have the best study conditions. Plan to
study your most difficult subjects then.
- Be sure to use any free hours between classes.
- Allow time for preview and review. For example, if you
have a free hour between classes, it is wise to spend the
beginning of that hour reviewing and revising notes from
the preceding lecture. The latter part of the hour may be
profitably spent previewing for the next lecture.
- Schedule each study period as close to that class meeting
as possible.
- To avoid learning interference, schedule the study of
unlike subjects consecutively. For example, it is better
to follow the study of a language with the study of a science
than to
study two languages one right after the other. If you MUST
study two similar subjects on the same night, try taking
a break in between.
- Be sure to plan some time in your schedule for recreation.
- Use odd periods of time for reviewing or reading. Periods
of time spent on a bus or waiting in a dentist's office
may be so used.
- Use periods when you are tired or when your situation
is noisy for jobs that do not require much concentration
or original organization. Such jobs as sorting notes or
preparing materials for the next day's use may be accomplished
at these times.
- Allow longer periods in your schedule for term papers
and projects the weeks you
need to work on these.
