14种更聪明的学习方法
Online courses are time-consuming and you need to keep up with the reading and discussion boards. You should keep a calendar of due dates so you can plan your study time to have assignments completed on time.
Study the syllabus to understand the instructor’s testing format, grading system and expectations. If you do not understand an assignment or have technical problems, 马上联系你的教练.
If you don’t set aside a specific study time, chances are you will fall behind quickly. Select and use the same area if possible, away from distractions.
当你制定学习计划时, take into account your work and home schedules and plan for study times you will be able to complete. Remember the average time per week to spend on an online course is 10-12 hours. 如果你的学习计划有冲突, it is better to spend half an hour on your course than to plan for an hour or two and not work on it all.
Your brain takes in information faster and retains it better if you don’t try to overload it.
The majority of people work most efficiently during daylight hours. In most cases, one hour during the day is worth one-and-a-half hours at night. Decide what your best time is and try to schedule your study time accordingly. 当你保持警觉时，你会完成更多的工作. 如果你发现自己打瞌睡了，那就屈服吧. It's better to pick up at another time rather than try to get through everything when you can’t think straight. Tackle the toughest areas first, while you are most alert.
You'll accomplish more and do it faster if you set a specific goal for each study session. Don't worry if you don’t reach your set goal within your allotted study time. Either reschedule the task into your next study period or go back to it later in the day, if you can.
A little work on an assignment each day will allow you time to give attention to its quality. Your workload will be spread out so you will avoid doing it at the last minute.
回顾你的工作笔记, assignments and discussion boards – on a regular basis keeps you up to date and helps shorten the study time required for quizzes and exams.
The general rule of thumb is a 10-minute break for every 50 minutes you work. 不要利用休息时间学习. They rejuvenate you for your next hour of studying.
给 yourself a pat on the back also gives you an incentive to reach your goals.
Letting work pile up can leave you with an overwhelming task. It's easy to feel that you’ll never get on top of it again. If you find yourself falling behind, review your study and time management skills. If something unexpected happens in your life and affects your work on the course, contact the instructor and discuss it with him or her.
