Psychological-tips Newsletter, Issue 1: Back to School
It`s back to school time! Go back to school armed with tips to help you manage your time and study more effectively. This month`s series of newsletters provides tips for students, based on psychological research.
It`s easy to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of the school year. This is especially true on the first day, after sitting through four or five classes with professors handing out syllabi, schedules, and book lists. Add on a job, school activities, and a social life, and it seems like time is not on your side! Try this simple tip to ease your mind and feel more organized:
Keep a schedule. Sounds obvious, but you`d be surprised at how many students don`t follow this advice. Buy an academic planner (you can find one in the college bookstore) and use it. Record all assignments, due dates, study sessions, and appointments with faculty. Schedule time to study too!
