Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Publisher Marketing: Although the average college student spends only between 15 and 18 hours in class in any given week, increasing the amount of free time, there is a correlating increase in the workload. Experts recommend that students spend two hours studying for each hour of lecture, three hours for each lab and another hour for discussion groups; the hours add up, so good study habits are essential . Many college students never learned effective study habits in high school and believe they will be able to make it through college just as easily. However, college and university professors and administrators claim that studying is directly connected to a student's ultimate success or failure. By reading the revised 2nd edition of 101 Ways to Make Studying Easier and Faster for College Students: What Every Student Needs to Know Explained Simply, you can improve the effectiveness of your studying. After all, effectiveness is not measured by the length of time spent studying or blankly staring at a textbook but by the level of comprehension. You can gain even more information from the case studies with tips and commentary from students, professors, administrators, and other experts. You will learn how to make a study schedule, design an effective study environment, read for comprehension, get organized, find your learning style, take notes during lectures, listen better in class, use reference sources, boost your concentration, stay motivated, review and edit your notes, and increase reading comprehension. Learn effective note taking strategies, where to study, when to study, time management skills, strategies for reading novels and text books, memorization techniques, and organizational skills. Additionally, you will find out how to stay awake while studying, how to change your current habits, and how to make studying more enjoyable. We will provide you with various studying methods, including flashcards, quizzes, summarizing, outlining, answering study guide questions, and the proven SQ3R method, as well as exercises to help improve your skills. No two people learn the same way, and no one study method will work for everyone. While this book introduces you to different study methods, the aim is to improve your learning, your understanding, and, ultimately, your grades.
