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.

drugalcohol awareness; cultural awareness; educa
tional opportunities; such as Family Science and leader
ship; and awareness of healthy lifestyles. Other goals of
T.Y.G. include bringing youth together to form unity
and friendship.
Currently the youth group has had four meetings in
which the accomplishments were a teen dance presented
by T.Y.G. and learning about healthy lifestyle's for the
90's.
The group has also ordered some original stickers
which portrays the attitude of partying drug-free. Watch
for them they will be available March 5, 1990!
