Time management 

organize your time

• be aware of your own time management 
• be aware of how much time it takes you to complete each study task
• be conscious that many aspects of study time takes longer than anticipated 
• schedule time for unforeseen events
• schedule time for leisure and relaxation
• be very specific in your tie planing 

-we spent our tie by "PROCRASTINATION", means we waste our time doing something that is really not important

Setting goals 

when we know what are we doing or where are we going, we can then figure out what exactly needs to be done, in what order

Determine study time

• identify the takes tasks assigned 
• determine how much time it would take to complete 
• how many breaks would you take
• determine the interruption that may occur
• complete the study record sheet 

Prioritizing the work

to work efficiently you need to work on the most important, highest value tasks. this way you won't get caught scrambling to get something critical done as the deadline approaches

Maintaining a Diary 

• a week view diary is ideal
• fill in all important dates for the year
• study deadlines, exams, projects
• appointments including lecture, time
• update with specific study tasks as year progresses
• use color codes and symbols where required
• look for time patterns that suit you

maximize your efficiency

• work with your body cycle, not against it
• cognitive, or mental, task such as reading, calculating, and problem soling are performed most efficiently in the morning.

  

Ninth day lecture

Note taking method for textbooks 

We can't just memorize what is in the text book, so to understand what is in it easily SQ4R reading method is      used.
* the key of this is REPETITION, that means repeating the same thing several time in different way.

Elaboration of SQ4R

S=SURVEY 

-To "X-Ray" the "bones" of the chapter

• checking all the difficult part
• then looking the title and read the introduction of that title
• look over the headings: subheadings, boldface words, titles of graphs, chart , diagram, etc
• understand the summary

so this wont take more than 5 minutes to survey an average chapter

Q=QUESTION

-To set a purpose and to get actively engaged in reading

• before reading the chapter create some question and answer those while reading
• use the questions available in the end of the chapter  
• turn the chapter heading, subheading or boldface terms into questions, beginning with "why" "how""what" "where" "when" or "who"?

R=READ

-to find the answers to your questions created in the Questions step

• read a small section, amount depends on the difficulties of the text
• read quickly and selectively

R=RECITE

-to find out what information you have gained from reading the short section:

• have you answer all the question you created?
• if you have answered then say it in your own words, if you can't say it then you don't know it.
• so again go back to reading step and come down.

R=RITE

-to prepare your notes for later review, follow RECITE with any of the following steps:

• if the article is fairly easy, underline or highlight.
• if the material is detailed or complex, write brief notes in the margin in your notebook.
• in both the case, record key name, data, terms, definition and ideas
• mark any confusion position for future clarification 

 R=REVIEW

at the end of the chapter, do an immediate, brief review to double retention

• take about 5 minutes to review the full chapter.
• a week later review again briefly to strengthen long-term memory
