Plan for a Positive Start of the Spring Semester


As the spring semester begins, take a moment to reflect back on the fall semester.  What went well?  What do you think you should change in order to earn better grades or make your studying more effective?  This is the time to start new, positive HABITS.

Next, look at your spring schedule.  When do you have free time?  When are you really busy?  Make a general weekly schedule and plan when you will study, when you will exercise, when you will relax.  Remember that you need to study about 2 hours for every hour in class, so be sure to schedule enough time.  Then, start this schedule NOW, get into the HABIT of studying and it will be easier to maintain for the next 14 weeks.

For some ideas of exactly what to do when you are studying, review previous blogs.  Log back on in future weeks for some more effective strategies and study ideas.

Work toward success in this new semester!
