After a few years as a student of different institutions and in different countries I have to disagree with the study group hint. Not only my personal experience, but my formation as a psychologist back home and as psychologist to be here as well, lead me to disapproval. Studies have shown a correlation between studying in groups and low productivity when compared to individuals studying independently. However, I have to recognize that as with everything in science, this is not fatal and the level of success students might achieve could also depend on the style of preference.
Great video! Very insightful tips that are always good to hear again and to always keep in mind during college. The multitasking part was especially true. I would have problems before thinking i would be able to catch up on a show or keep updated on my Facebook while having to do different homework assignments, even trying to do 2 assignments at the same time! In reality it would just slow me down to an unnecessarily slow pace. Only after did i realize how much more efficient it is to just stay concentrated on one thing you have to do and have a to-do list for goals you want to achieve next.
This video was very interesting to watch! I agree that being prepared is probably the most important thing to do because this way you can make connections and understand the material more in depth. Rather than taking in all the material for the first time. During my time in college I have found that reading the chapters beforehand really have helped me retain the information better. However, I do disagree with the study groups tip. Like Dennis Estrada mentioned above, they are not always the most effective. While it does depend on which method works best for you, in my experience groups tend to wonder off more or just some of the people in the group do more than others. I consider study groups to be effective only if you really find people willing to work and use the time efficiently.
I honestly thought I wasn't going to make it through college when I first got in... You do need these steps shown on this video because if not you'll lose motivation and grow love for money and most likely drop out of college.
