School will begin soon. It's time to return to books and lectures, and if you are a student programmer, programming board duties. You're faced with the challenge of having a successful semester. To do so, it is necessary to start with the right frame of mind. Here are some tips that is going to help you to "jump-start" your semester so that you'll learn and achieve as much as possible. While these tips are academically oriented, it is important to remember that success in one area inspires success in others. Also, keep in mind that some of these tips may be applicable to your extra-curricular responsibilities, too. Use them to gain advantage in several aspects of your college life as possible and enjoy your success!<br />
<br />
The Eleven Tips<br />
<br />
1. Participate in class.<br />
<br />
A fantastic way to make a positive impression on instructors is by taking part in class. While many students may sit in class distracted, make sure you're not one of them. You're only in class for a short period of time, so make the effort to pay attention and participate in class. Active participation shows your teacher that you have a sincere interest in learning what they're teaching. You will also retain more information if you participate in discussions, ask questions and formulate your own opinions. Take the initiative to participate in discussions with teachers outside of class. This offers further evidence of your interest and brings about additional learning opportunities.<br />
<br />
2. Create a study chart.<br />
<br />
School itself can be stressful enough. Do not add more stress to your life. Do not wait until the last minute of the day to complete your assignments. Those who wait until the last minute rarely complete the work well. Work to complete your assignments ahead of time. When you receive an assignment, take a few minutes to determine how long it will take to complete it. Develop a work schedule by breaking down your assignment into minor tasks. Use a calendar to mark the days you will complete each task. Then simply follow your schedule. You will be amazed at how easy it is to finish your assignments ahead of time, especially if you break them down and plan a work schedule.<br />
<br />
3. Create a study chart.<br />
<br />
Organize your study time by listing on a calendar when each exam is scheduled. After listing your exams, plan how much time you will need to devote to studying for various subjects. Write on the calendar which days you will spend studying for each exam. It is also a good idea to plan one or two sample test days. On these days, you should create and take sample tests that will be similar to the actual exam you will ultimately be taking. Ask your instructors if they have any old exams that you could borrow. Simply by planning your study time, you will avoid having to cram at the last minute.<br />
<br />
4. Avoid cramming for exams.<br />
<br />
Studying all-night or even for several hours straight is sometimes ineffective. Consider setting aside two-hour time blocks during which you will do nothing but study. Concentrate solely on your schoolwork and do not let anything interrupt your time blocks. After studying for two hours, take at least a 30-minute break. Your brain can become overloaded with information if you do not periodically take a break from studying. Try this approach and you will be amazed at what you accomplish.<br />
<br />
5. Work in two-hour blocks of time.<br />
<br />
Research has shown that more information is retained when learning occurs through a consistent and systematic approach. Cramming the night before an exam or pulling an all-nighter exhausts your mind and body, thereby making you less likely to retain information. In addition, the added stress of not feeling fully prepared can have a negative effect on our memory during the exam. Prepare yourself by working ahead of time.<br />
