Chapter 3: Developing Study Skills
Your instructor may ask you to complete one or more of the following exercises.
- Working with your class schedule, map out a week-long schedule of study time. Try to apply the two to three-hour rule. Be sure to include any other non-negotiable responsibilities, such as a job or child care duties.
- Use your course syllabi to record all of your exam dates and due dates for assignments in a calendar (paper or electronic). Use a star, highlight, or mark off any days or weeks that look especially demanding.
- Try two of the note-taking formats that were discussed in this chapter (remember that the Cornell system can be combined with other note-taking formats). Which of these formats did you find more useful for your learning style?
