Remember when you moved from grade school to middle school? From middle school to high school? Did the way you studied stay the same or were you expected to learn new ways to approach learning? If you play a sport, coach has you practice drills and skills so you can call upon them during the game. If you play an instrument, you might practice scales or spend hours on a difficult new piece before a performance. All these examples show you that you will need to master new study skills as a college student. In my previous blog post, "Top 10 Habits that Help You Study Smarter," I shared with some strategies for how to change up your studying mindset. Today, we're going to focus on some key principles for how to study effectively in college by watching Dr. Chew's 10 key principles for "how to study" below. Many of the principles Dr. Chew discusses relate more to in-person classroom learning. Since March 2020, however, New Yorkers have been learning at home, which has a whole set of new challenges to overcome, including finding time, access to quiet study space, sharing technology with family members, as well as possibly having to supervise younger children's online learning. In the video below, Dr. Chew discusses "choke points" and ways to train yourself to develop work strategies even in these difficult times. Comments are closed.
