Occupational Development Program
Your Study Environment
Where you study is important, too.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit and well ventilated place that’s free of distractions such as the telephone, TV, music, friends, etc. The library is an ideal place to study.
- Gather all needed materials before you begin.
- Try to study in the same place each day. Use that place for studying only.
- Take breaks after each hour of studying, loosen tense muscles by getting up, stretching and walking around.
- Underline or highlight what’s important such as main ideas, names of important people, key terms and their meanings
- Develop and outline according to their importance.
- Write a summary but keep it brief to include only main points.
- Make a map using a diagram of the material.
