The assignment instructed to be completed for my Deans Seminar class was a study plan. This plan organized my study habits and helped me with my time management. I learned valuable skills that I will incorporate into my daily routine. By sticking with this plan I will be able to see an improvement and progress in my work . I hope to use this template for the rest of my educational career.
Many of the study skills that I learned have become integral in my study habits. I began to highlight my book for key works and phrases which help me organize the main points the book is articulating. I do not procrastinate as much as I did because I understand about doing my work when it is assigned will help give me free time. I go out to parties and social events only when I have completed all my assignments. Another organizational skill I use is typing up notes. This method helps reinforce the material from lecture and I am able to comprehend the material as I type it up.
A valuable tip that I learned is to split up work so that it is not over consuming. I use this skill in all my areas such as reading a section of text every night. It helps in many aspects of studying. I make use of the my time and work diligently at my work. I make sure I am able to have a peaceful working environment where I can concentrate without outside distractions. I found the ideal place for this is the library. For English, I learned about the writing center which helps students learn to edit their papers to make them become better. This resource is very helpful and can give me the grade I want to achieve.
There are a few areas which I need a little work on. I need to learn to get enough sleep every night so that I have enough energy to pay attention in class. I also need to ask more questions. This will help me save time of having to look up the questions when I could just have a peer or instructor help me solve the problem. I also need to incorporate a better exercise routine in my plan so that I will have more energy and it can also help relieve stress. I need to listen harder to instructors for key words that might hint what is included on the test.
All the skills I obtained from organizing and structuring my plan has been very advantageous. I am now a lot more organized and have better study habits. If I continue to do my study habits, I am sure I will be very successful. I have overcome some of the obstacles that I needed to complete. Procrastination
