PLANNING
So remember the SPs:
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. If you want to prevent poor
performance from happening you need to prepare properly because what
worked yesterday may not work today.
Good plans shape good decisions ...
Plan specific times for study
Study time is any time you are doing something related to schoolwork. It can be
completing assigned reading, working on a project or studying for a test.
Schedule specific times throughout the week for your study time.
Set specific goals for your study time
Goals will help you stay focused and monitor your progress. Simply sitting down
to study has little value. You must be very clear about what you want to
accomplish during your study times. For example: summarise the topic: the
gradient of a line and do examples in each exercise of text book.
