1ime allocaLion and managemenL is essenLial or Lhe saLisacLory handling o academic work.
NaLurally, prioriLies should be seL according Lo Lhe needs, wiLh more Lime allocaLed Lo higher prioriLies.
l sLudy is Lhe highesL prioriLy in Lhe nexL ew years, sLudenL should ensure LhaL iL geLs mosL aLLenLion and Lhe besL
hours o Lhe day.
A speciic number o hours per week should be puL a side especially or sLudy. SLudenLs should spenL approximaLely
Lhree hours per week in privaLe per subjecL. 1his is a very general guideline.
Farly esLablishmenL o rouLine is recommended. lL is imporLanL or sLudenLs Lo organise Lheir rouLine in a way LhaL
allows Lime or sLudy as well as or oLher commiLmenLs, recreaLion and leisure. Once Lhe paLLern is -esLablished and
susLained, Lhere is a higher probabiliLy o success in academic work.
SLudenLs can maximize Lhe beneiL o lecLure by adopLing Lhese Lechniques.
1. 8eore Lhe lecLure, do some reading Lo geL general idea o Lhe Lopic and become amiliar some o Lhe new
Lechnical words. 1here is no need Lo sLudy or memorize all Lhe maLerial.
2. Pay special aLLenLion during Lhe irsL ew minuLes when Lhe lecLurer may be giving Lhe ramework o Lhe lecLure.
FveryLhing will Lhen all inLo Lhe place as lecLure proceeds.
8. 1ake concise, sysLemaLic lecLure noLes. lL is besL Lo arrange Lhan under Lopics wiLh main and subordinaLe poinLs.
lL is always advisable Lo leave a very wide margin beside lecLure noLes. When reviewing noLes or reerring Lo reerence
books, summaries can Lhen be wriLLen in Lhe margin.
AL Lhe end o lecLure, i Lhere is Lime, quickly go over whaL has been recorded in Lhe lecLure noLes. Check spelling,
underline headings or break long senLences inLo poinLs. 1his will help in learning Lhe maLerial when reviewing iL (as
soon as possible - Lhe same nighL is recommended).
1he besL sLudy meLhods also happened Lo be Lhe besL meLhods or preparing or examinaLions, since examinaLion
quesLions will require Lhe soluLion o problems and drawing o comparisons. 1ry Lhe ollowing sLeps or approach Lo
sLudy.
