Study Tips

STUDY TIP FOR STUDENTS:* *Note Taking* *Whenever you study, you should get into the habit of taking notes. You cannot “study” by just reading, or highlighting, a book. I know that many students believe that taking notes is wasting time, but there is really no other way if you want to remember the information!* *Don’t spend ages writing summaries. Notes are just the key points. Make a list of the main points only – don’t write sentences, or include “little words” like ‘the’, ‘and’, ‘or’ and so on. Use abbreviations and even start to develop your own shorthand – it will save you hours and hours! Always number the points in the list you construct. The brain can recall a numbered list better than a list with no numbers. Also, have plenty of “white space” on the page (blank space). It should almost look like a shopping list when you have finished.* * * *Some students prefer to draw mind maps or spider diagrams. They use different colours and symbols and spread their ideas over the page. Each student may find that different styles suit them. The main thing to remember is to avoid just writing the book out again in a shortened version! Try to decide which are the key points and put these on paper in such a way as you will find it easy to study. Different styles may suit different topics.* *We would also advise you not to copy diagrams into your notes – some students waste a great deal of time copying out the book. If you come to an important diagram – close the book, have a quick attempt (on scrap paper), correct your mistakes and throw away the attempt. Now, make a note of the diagram and its page number in the margin of your notes. Each time you return to these notes, you will see the reference and quickly practise the diagram once more, before referring to the page in the text.* *The presentation of your notes is very important – keep them neat and use a little colour – but don’t overdo it!*
