Study Strategies

Effective study strategies are crucial for your academic triumph.

Here are several key points to bear in mind.
  • Jot down notes during lectures to encapsulate the primary points being discussed
  • Incorporate specific details and examples to help you remember the main theories
  • Maintain a separate notebook or folder for notes from each class
  • Ensure you include the dates of the lectures in your notes for future reference
  • If you find any material challenging to grasp, highlight it in your notes to seek further explanation later
  • Go over your notes within a day of the lecture to boost memory retention

Study skills apply to school, work and life. Learning to study effectively can improve your ability to organize, manage your time and solve problems.
