DAILY TIPS FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AT WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY

  • Use a planner or calendar to write down all your regularly scheduled activities as well as any due dates for papers or exams. Plan time for sleep, exercise, and social activity.

  • Use flash cards. Write a word or formula on the front of a card and its definition on the back. Go through the cards until you can define each word correctly.

  • Have a purpose when you read. You may want to think of a question that you are trying to answer in each section of material. Do not move ahead in the chapter until you can answer your question. Ask yourself, "Am I getting it?" If not, go back and find the place where you last understood the material and reread.

  • If you are ill, contact the instructor to let them know and to find out the work you missed.

  • Assess your stress level before you begin studying. If you are experiencing a high degree of stress you won't be able to study as effectively.

  • Remember, some anxiety or stress is normal and can actually enhance your performance!
