What are some things that you do that help you study for your classes?
I know some people prefer to study in certain places or have specific routines. I've been in a slump with my studies recently and have been looking for some more ideas on things I could try. Hopefully this can help some others as well!

Hi Spencer -
One highly effective strategy I found was to utilize any extra time in the classroom, especially when a class ended early. This time can be used to get a head start on assignments or to enhance and review your notes. This strategy is particularly beneficial as the lessons are still fresh in your mind and you are naturally focused on the subjects that have just been discussed.
When it comes to personal study, the environment is key. Seek out a location with minimal distractions. If your home doesn't fit the bill, consider a public library. It's also beneficial to have a study partner who can help keep you on track and hold you accountable.
It's also advisable to take some time to identify your typical distractions and devise strategies to overcome them. This way, you'll be prepared and won't be caught off guard if you start to get distracted.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful!

Hi Spencer!
A tip that really helped me in college was to take my notes in class by hand in a notebook, and type them up later. I know some people who would even re-write their handwritten notes so they could study more. It helps to write things out!
Another thing that can be helpful is studying with people. If you're studying for a test, ask someone in your class to quiz you.
I also recommend using online tools like quizlet.
Good luck!
