College is not for the weak. One must stick with it long term in order to obtain their goal(s), no matter what the goals may be. Most people go to college to develop skills in the career they want to master. It will be a long road to mastering a career, and you will need your degree in order to achieve those career goals. College is like a domino chain to a better future and life. End-of-year exams are coming up soon and class times are getting shorter in order for students to obtain more study time.
There are hundreds of tips on how to study efficiently and effectively. Anyone could simply Google a list, and they would get more examples than they’d know what to do with. Instead of providing everyone with one of those random lists on studying, I asked around at not just Shawnee State University alone, but also students at other universities as well for their personal recommendations on key ways to study efficiently.
Here at Shawnee State, sophomore Chloe Lemaster said to not lose sight of what you truly want. Basically, you may get burnt out, but the more you think about your dreams and your goals, the clearer the road will be.
“Make sure to schedule your time efficiently by giving yourself breaks and rewards for completing assignments and tasks,” she said.
Rachel Eaton, a student from Kent State University, shared her advice on what studying methods work for her.
“I personally rewrite notes over and then type them up,” she said. “The triple writing helps for sure. I also record audio clips of me explaining concepts; also Quizlets help for pre-test studying.”
A student from Ohio State University, Madison Frazer, put in her two cents and simply said to “study at least an hour each day uninterrupted. After, eat a light protein snack.”
