Study Skills
Sweet, I was finally able to login. I read the link about study skills. It had some interesting suggestions about how to study more effectively. It suggested that when you begin an assignment or a paper, you write down on a piece of paper the time you want to be finished with it. The little bit of pressure with help you work more efficiently. It also said to give yourself less time the more you do this, to increase efficiency. Another interesting point made was that if your mind wanders when you read or if you have difficulty taking in what you are reading, you should stop at the end of each page and slowly count to ten. You should also not read entire lines or phrases at once. Rather, you should read each sentence word by word, to help comprehension. These three are good techniques for me to use because I have trouble making myself actually sit down and do assignments and my mind often wanders when I read, to the point where I read something and have no idea what I just read.
