Steve’s Answer

The best way to study is to go to a room with a quiet atmosphere and study with out anyone there and no distractions. Also, taking notes and writing important things down. Then study those notes constantly, till the information is needed for any tests or quizs

Ava, while I am no surgeon I would like to chime in because I enjoy studying and have made myself a life long student.

I have notebook. On the right side I make the notes as they come, line by line. I use the bullet format. and down arrows in case I need to follow on something. On the left side I write the highlights of the subject. This is like the one thing I need to remember. I also write questions on the left side. Something I need to follow up with. The last 2-3 lines on the left side is the summary. The left side looks like organized chaos. That is intentional. This is to grab my attention. I got this study method or note taking method rather from a modified Stanford Style notetaking.

I saw that some of the stanford notebooks were up to $20. Literally just to take some notes. So I can do this with a $2 notebook and have more pages and more room.

I do not highlight and I do not use colored pens. One pen to take my notes. I may underline or circle. This is to ensure I am as quick as possible and can get my thoughts on the page before I miss the professor or lose my place in the textbook.

It does take some practice because at first I could not figure what to make my left side look like. Then I realized I was overthinking it. It should be more like a table of contents, add any questions I may have, and then the 2-3 line summary at the bottom. It is a free flow page.

I hope this helps you. I have done this for a very long time and swear by it.

Good luck.

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you would like to improve your study ethics. It is more related to your time management and build up your study habits. Firstly, you need to identify time management tool, e.g. MS Outlook, Google Calendar, Phone Calendar, etc.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Put down the time you need to attend lessons
2. Assign some time every day on your assignment, projects, etc. and do some revision on the material covered in class everyday. Ask the teacher in the next school day if you have any question
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise
4. Do some leisure activities and have some gatherings with your friends and family on weekends
5. Assign more time for revision before assessment
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Kathleen’s Answer

Ava, it's great to see that you are serious and dedicated to getting the most out of your education! Everyone learns differently, so you need to discover what enhances your ability to focus and retain information. Typically a quiet room removed from distraction works well, but some people need quiet instrumental music or white noise such as ocean waves or gentle rain to enhance focus. Read through the information, marking that which stands out, then read it again taking notes or making flash cards. Seek out additional sources to ensure you understand the information and don't hesitate to ask for help! Keep the sessions long enough to cover a topic but not so long that you're overwhelmed and nothing is sticking in your mind. Review, review, review and be surevto make time for exercise, fun, and adequate rest. Your desire to learn well will help you do just that!
