Can you give me any tips on studying (college)?

[Anonymous]

Can any of you give me any tips that help you concentrate, focus, and understand the material you are learning better? Even tips about face to face school (and online school) will truly help.

Give yourself breaks!! I always tried to study for 45 minutes to an hour then give myself a short break up to 15 minutes. This always kept me focused and made sure the studying I did was quality work.

If you have time, go over the lecture slides or material before you actually get to lecture. This way it isn't unfamiliar to you when you get to class and you can come up with questions to ask before you get there.

Study the material so you know it well enough to teach it to someone else. That way you know that you've mastered the material. Keep in mind that not every thing that you need to know will be in the lecture. You might have to do some "digging" to learn the material that isn't presented in class.

Pay attention, what else is there... if you can't pay attention, work on your concentration power. Give yourself space from disturbing factors.

Yes, keep your phone turned off when you're studying and in class.
