Smoke Signals April 1990 Page 3 Fm IHATIflM Having Trouble Studying? DESIGN FOR EXCELLENCE: HOW TO STUDY. SMARTLY I I There is a skill you will need to master in order to become a successful student of science andor engineer ing. The skill is to study efficiently - to get the most out of the time you set aside for study - to study smartly. You can learn it on your own by following these few simple steps: 1. STUDY THE MOST IMPORTANT MATERIAL FIRST. Find out which principles and processes you must know for examinations. 2. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU HAVE NOT YET MASTERED. What answers did you get wrong on your tests and homework? 3. PERIODICALLY RE-STUDY IMPORTANT MATERIAL Solve again some problems you have already done. This helps you remember important principles. 4. DO HOMEWORK WITHIN TWO DAYS. Get to work right away when your teacher introduces a new subject, a new principle, or new procedure. 5. GET HELP AFTER ONE HOUR OF FRUIT LESS STUDY. Don't give up, but don't waste any more time. Get help from a tutor, a fellow student, or an instructor. 6. JOIN A STUDY GROUP TO KEEP UP WITH HOMEWORK. Agree on regular times to meet and help each other with difficult problems and concepts. 7. CHECK YOUR ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVERY WEEK. Develop an "early warning system" of your own. Are you getting behind in homework? Are you getting poor grades? Do you feel you aren't understanding the material? If the answer to any of these is yes, don't wait. 8. USE "TIME-ON-TASK" CONCEPT TO STUDY WELL. Schedule study time and stick to your schedule. Find ways to use your study time more efficiently, and ways to reduce the time it takes you to learn. As you become more efficient in your study, you may want to allow more time for some subjects, and less for others. Fine. But don't give up scheduling. Simply change your schedule. Make new commitments to yourself and keep them. Since time management is basic to engineering, you are practicing a skill you will use throughout your engineering career.
