Next week is a non-teaching week for many students, which means it's a great opportunity to be productive, get work done and give our bodies time to rest. Here are the top 5 tips from the Peer Academic Coaches (PACs) about how to make the most of Week 10!
Study Session Techniques
- Use the Pomodoro Technique to manage your time and stay on track! Set a timer for 25 minutes, work on the task, and then take a short 3-5-minute break.
- Set a goal for each study session; this will help you to be more productive and focused.
Absorbing Information
- Jotting down information in a concept map by using different colours is a great way to visually remember information. Break down your units by topic or outcome into smaller, more manageable concept maps.
- Group study sessions are a great way to learn the material by quizzing each other. This allows you to learn the information in a different form. Research shows that teaching other people boosts your own understanding!
Self-Care
- Finally, between all the study, make sure you take the time to do something for you. Sleep an extra hour, go for a walk or go for coffee with friends. Being well-rested will help you be more productive!
