Key Takeaways
- Understanding your individual learning style and preferences can help you identify the study and time-management strategies that will work best for you.
- To manage your time effectively, looking at the short-term (daily and weekly schedules) and the long-term (major semester deadlines) is important.
- To manage your time effectively, be consistent about maintaining your schedule. If your schedule is not working for you, make adjustments.
- A good note-taking system must differentiate among major points, related subtopics, and supporting details, allowing you to record and organize information quickly. Choose the format that is most effective for you.
