STUDENT Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits Work on these and you will become an effective student Targets Always set a realistic work target Don't try to too much For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend This kind of detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail! Rewards Develop a system of small rewards for your work For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a favorite piece of music after one hour's study, Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself Timing Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e when it is quiet and when you are most'alert Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day If you plan to start work at a certain time, say pm, not find reasons to put off getting started You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent!

printed out It is great, for example, if you are doing a brainstorming session or a mind map with your classmates and you want to keep a record of it If you don't want to draw with the pens, you can use a keyboard and type onto a programme such as Word, and have it appear on the screen for everyone to see This is great if you are doing an exercise with your class and you want everyone to be able to see the answers during the checking stage You can also run PowerPoint presentations on an interactive whiteboard These can sometimes be great for grammar or vocabulary presentations and the
