Studying has been extraordinary for me for many years now. I define studying by sitting on the bed (Indian sit) and slouching my back against the wall with the notes positioned near my crossed legs. After a few minutes, I began to lie down which eventually forces me to stop studying and just rest. I would wake up after two hours of rest since I’m unconscious of the time; only to think that I wasted a lot of time. Therefore, I wasn’t able to finish studying and get things done. What I did was an improper way of studying – Studying on the bed. Our level of concentration depends on our studying position. We are unable to focus if we are in an awkward position like lying supine on the bed which makes me feel sleepy and lazy. This has been my problem regarding my study habits. Studying requires a comfortable, quiet, and distraction-free environment. Whenever I stay on bed, I tend to relax more than study because the bedroom is not an appropriate place for studying. Nevertheless, it is meant for entertainment and recreational purposes. As a student, I have a lot of school works to be done at home but sometimes I’m incapable of giving my best because I lack concentration when studying. I am proposing the idea of having my own study table inside our bedroom so that I would be able to get away from bad study habits that has been bothering me all throughout my student life. II. Technical plan To study more efficiently, I would want to study on a study table rather than on any other place so that I could get rid of unnecessary things and habits that affect my manner of studying. A study table will keep my things organized and help me foster my study skills so that I can do my best in all my school works. Also, it will help prevent exp... ... middle of paper ... ...nnecessary things that are not significant to my schoolwork so that I could only prioritize my studies above anything else. It matters a lot to me because I would be able to overcome bad study habits, which roughly affects my grades especially on school papers for I cannot think thoroughly upon sitting or lying on the bed. More importantly, you could also take advantage from this proposal in two ways. First, you don’t have to worry about my education since I’ll be motivated to finish studying all my lessons and accomplish all the papers on time without feeling lazy especially now that my course demands a lot of writing. Second, you could save money too since I’m only appealing for the alternative of hiring a carpenter to build a study table so that it won’t cost much of your budget. I hope you would consider my proposal for education means a lot to my future.
“Mark, you won’t get anywhere without studying”, His mother use to tell him when he use to waist all his time playing rather that studying. Mark wasn’t such a good student because he wouldn’t spend any time studying, until one day his parents decided to send him to Cushing Academy, a boarding school in the USA, which they knew it was going to improve his study habits and help him being more responsible. But what really amazed his parents was this period of time used to study called “Study Hall”. Because of its amazing results, preparation for college, and providing responsibility, Study Hall remains as one of the vital qualities Cushing Academy possess and give students an opportunity to lead in higher education.
I believe Burris Laboratory School middle school should have a study hall hour for students who have an extra curricular activities and or students who take high school classes.
This one being your first year in college, you may have trouble concentrating while you study. Some techniques that can help your concentration are being selective, relaxing, and over learning. Being selective means to make choices about what is most important to learn. When you are studying, you should be able to know what may or may not be on the test, your notes for the week can be helpful. In addition, pay attention to charts, tables, and illustrations that you think may appear on the test. Relaxing is a good technique to use because when you are relaxed you are able to absorb more information. One way to relax is to use a breathing technique (inhale, count from one to ten, and exhale, and count from one to ten, and so on). Over learning can help you fight mental vagueness. When you are struggling in a class, it is best for you to learn more than you need to know about the subject. You can use these techniques every time you are studying or when you cannot concentrate.
The things I value the most would be my schooling because, without schooling, I wouldn 't be able to be in the health science and try and become a nurse, schooling to me is everything, especially being in the nursing program you
First, it is important to look at the amount of time each habit takes on average. Looking in a long-term viewpoint, studying periodically takes much more time than cramming. Although it may seem as if the opposite is true, cramming is fairly speedy. Before a test, a student may spend two or three hours studying for a history exam. A student who decides to study periodically may study for thirty minutes each night starting two weeks before the exam takes place. That adds up to seven hours, more than double the time it takes to cram for the test! One may argue that by studying a little bit each night, you could study ten or even five minutes a day, but that’s not particularly effective. In a mere ten minutes, it is nearly impossible to cover the needed information. By cramming, one is able to effectively fit two weeks of information in a shorter amount of time. If you participate in several extracurricular activities and/or have a job, it may be very difficult for you to make room for studying and homework each night. By cramming, you are limiting this time to one day rather than eve...
The different types of techniques we learned had helped improve our studying ways to be better and more efficient. One of my studying techniques is through body movement. I learn through body movement to help me retain most of the information I took from my classes. This helps benefits my grade by if a test is coming up, I know the study techniques I need to apply. However, I have to manage time through the day in order for me to study.
On February, 2016 I am planning to buy a new house, and converting one of the rooms into an office. Having an office for my own will allow me to better concentrate in my studies, due that right now it’s very distracting and uncomfortable doing school work on a stool bar chair in my dining room.
Have a place separate and quiet to concentrate and study, visit libraries, research on the internet and writing are some of the study habits that prepare the young to perform well in college. Much has to do with their parents, to motivate them to develop these habits.
...ry, it is easy to notice how people need different things, and require alternate ways of studying. You notice people’s emotions and how they react to their surroundings. Some people need silence, some need music, some need space, some need distraction and some people just do it to look good.
I seem to learn better when I constantly read over the material I am studying. This allows the material to constantly be running in my mind. I am a person who will read or hear something and it usually sticks with me. I really haven 't had to study for long periods of time, because I usually remember the topic of what were being tested on pretty easily. I have also learned that I am more of a hands on person. I can learn things very quickly by putting them into action. Somehow that makes it click in my mind and helps me learn it. Mainly the study habits I can improve on is procrastination. This is usually hurts me the most. I will wait
An important question to address when attempting to identify effective study strategies and their relationship with academic performance is, “What are study skills?” The term “study skills” can be defined as proficiency in identifying, organizing, memorizing, and using information in order to succeed academically (Proctor, Prevatt, Adams, Hurst, & Petscher, 2006). Activities identified as study skills include “time management, setting appropriate goals, selecting an appropriate study environment, employing appropriate note-taking strategies, concentrating, selecting main ideas, self-testing, organization, and managing anxiety,” (Proctor et al., 2006). When studying, college students employ a variety of these study strategies that they believe
A sleep with good duration but totally interrupted is never a healthy sleep. Healthy sleep habits can be defined in a number of ways. For example, Peters, Joireman, and Ridgeway (2005) have described “sleep patterns” in terms of four different factors: “self-rated satisfaction with sleep”, “sleeping during the day”, “difficulty sleeping at night”, and “oversleeping”. There are also two stages of sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. REM sleep is associated with dreaming while NREM sleep is non-dreaming and has further sub stages. Both stages are necessary for brain learning and memory (Iqra, Asad, Tayyab, Abdullah, Rumsha, Marium, Fahad). Previous studies have narrowed the dependence of learning consolidation to the rapid eye movement stage of sleep, when most dreaming occurs. De Koninck and Associates reported that students who demonstrated a significant increase in REM sleep following an intensive learning period performed significantly better on examinations. The connection between REM sleep and learning is of particular importance for those students who consistently receive less than eight hours of sleep. They miss some of the last two hours of REM sleep. Those two hours tend to be the most important for integrating new information. Therefore, students who do most of their studying during the night before tests
