Study Tips and Tricks

Congratulations! You’re more than halfway through the Fall 1 term. We know how challenging it can be to stay motivated and productive in the middle of a term, but keep going because you’re almost there!

It’s not easy having a full-time job and a family to take care of and STILL finding time to devote to school work. We realize that our students’ study habits, work schedules, and all-around educational experiences are going to be different from many other students in college. So, yesterday we asked our students to share with us their best study tricks, and we loved their answers! Check out what they had to say:

1.  “I like to study while my kids are asleep either early in the morning or after they’ve gone to bed. Keeps distractions to a minimum.” - Ssire J., SPS student.

2. “ I like to dedicate specific times to study or do homework. I will actually schedule it on my calendar.” -LaDonna U., SPS student.

3. “My study trick is to read aloud instead of just reading to myself. For me, reading out loud allows for me to read it, and then secondly, hear it. “ - Ryan B., SPS student.

4. “Download the Canvas app, get the notifications, and easily stay up on everyone’s discussion comments and the course work.” -Glenn C., SPS student.

All of these study tricks totally encompass what it means to be not just an online student, but an online student who might have a family, a full-time job, and a crazy, busy schedule. It’s all about balance and learning what works best for you.

Other study tricks and tips can include finding a classmate to go over study materials with, making flash cards (quizlet is a great online resource), and making sure to leave yourself enough time to study so that you won’t have to cram. There is no better feeling than being prepared for a big exam! 

A little hard work goes a long way, so put your game face on and finish out this term strong. We believe in you! As the famous quote goes, “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”

I'm not gonna lie, it's been a kinda crappy week. 😨 But looking back at the beginning of 2017 gave me some motivation to power through. 💪🏻 It's so hard for me to not feel guilty taking time for myself, but I knew the year of *Ally Renee Self Care* wasn't going to be easy. 🗓 Have you looked back on your New Years resolutions recently? Take some time today to get back on track if you're like me and kinda fell off the wagon or check out my blog to see what my resolution this year is! 💜 • • • • • • #blog #allyrenee #instastyle #wine #handlettering #calligraphy #lettering #blogger #motivation #midtermmotivation #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #foodblogger #fblogger #fashion #adventureblogger #colorado #picoftheday #featured #photography #villanova #midterms (at Villanova University)
