Here are some tips university students give each other for more effective studying, for self-organization and for planning their work and time: Ivan: You should recognize that the main factor in efficiency of learning is a healthy and consistent sleep schedule. Without it the mind wouldn’t be able to adapt quickly, and so, learning would take more time, hurting the efficiency of the work done. Helen: Self-education will be useful habits for effective learning, this will allow you to remove gaps in knowledge and learn something new. Also, it will be useful to have the habit of repeating previously studied material so as not to forget it.To properly organize your time, you need to plan your day. If you alternate between work and rest, you will effectively cope with the tasks. You can use an assistant application that can help you plan your day. Andrew:As for me, I believe that studying online is more effective than attending regular class. First of all, it allows you to choose the time when to take a lesson. For example, many people do not like to keep early hours, and it would be better for them to learn something in the afternoon or in the evening. Online education gives them such an opportunity. What is more, you can choose the place where to study. Whether it is a cosy room of yours or your grandparents’ country house, nothing can prevent you from learning. Tanya: In my opinion the factor that is much contributing to the effective studying is eating habits. A balanced diet is a key to a long and fulfilling life as well as to maximum productivity in learning as well. Kira:There is no one learning strategy that works for all students at the same time. What works well for one group of students cannot work well with another. Teachers should adapt to each group and use multiple instructional strategies to maximize their effectiveness. Teachers should keep in mind that using the same strategies will bore student very quickly.When they change activities, vary them students stay engaged ,which ultimately helps them study more effective. Dasha: For more effective learning it is useful to follow advice below for planning your time and work: 1.Don’t waste your time. 2.Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night 3.Make self-care your priority 4.Don’t multitask. Focus 100% on each task before moving to the next 5.Practice a new skill 2.
