How to stay motivated and graduate on time?
- Do the class reading and be sure you understand the content. Don’t simply memorize.
- Take good notes in class. Review your notes with a classmate or instructor and organize and edit them within 24 hours of the lecture.
- Find out what learning assistance centers or labs are available and use them.
- Actively participate in class.
- Develop a daily routine and be sure to schedule daily study time. Plan for at least two hours of work outside class for every hour spent in class.
- Create a study area and remove distractions, such as the television and telephone.
- Start a study group or find study buddies, and be sure these students are doing well in class.
- Study the hardest subjects first.
- Use the library on campus.
- Steer clear of disciplinary actions
- Communicate with your parents, let them know your needs and keep them involved. This is truly important for older students.
- Set a goal for yourself, not too high but make sure it's one you can meet.
