7 Ways to Organize Study Time
1. Allot enough time for study.
Examine your own needs and then allot your time appropriately.
2. Make use of your free hours between classes.
3. Study at the same time daily.
4. Schedule a weekly review.
Plan to review each classes' notes from the beginning to end once a week.
5. Schedule daily reviews.
Spend 15 - 20 minutes reviewing your notes immediately following class or when classes are done for the day.
6. Account for project time.
Remember to allow an appropriate amount of time during the course of the week for long-term projects (i.e., papers, group projects, journals, etc.)
7. Allow for flexibility.
It is important not to over schedule thus allowing for a variety of "non-academic" activities.
