In what ways do you study for your online classes?
I currently am enrolled in 3 courses. I work full time and I am a single mother. As you can imagine I am busy all day. I have been reading my books and taking down vocab words and things I think are important but how do you know you doing enough. It seems like I’m going to forget what I’ve read since there is no in class repetition. Any suggestions? What study habits did you find successful?
I am taking personal finance, construction methods, and marketing. Thank you in advance 🙂
Do you listen to lectures? If so, take down notes and then read them 10 minutes after you’ve taken them. Then read them again each day until the test. You can skim if you need to, just spend a min. of 15 minutes reading what you’ve written.
Take notes in your books by reading the intro to each chapter, then making a simple outline of what the chapter is about. Follow the read/write/remember/repeat process of note-taking I mentioned earlier.
There has been a strong correlation between good study skills and writing–not typing–your notes. So as much as you can, write it down.
Good job going back to school as a single mom! Blessings.
