College study tips

As Janice has stated, it really depends on your major… what is it that you’re studyinging? If it’s a a buisness or science course that makes you stay on top of your game in following through with labs/stats… that’s something you need to make time for in doing all your work assigments, getting involved in your tutorial sessions, making detailed notes and taking the time to review them.

If they’re sociology courses, I find it easiest if I stay on top of all my readings before my lectures/tutorials - making notes and learning the concepts and making connections to other courses. With that, once lectures come, I’m able to add aditional notes. Once tutorials come, I’m able to discuss and raise key quistions on readings I don’t understand.

All in all, don’t be hard on yourself, fresman year is a massive shock from high school. The new ways of “independant learning” is something you’ll soon addapt to. Bottom line is to know that education does not come from textbooks, but from living out what you learn and being driven with fresh ideas :) Good luck on your finals!!
