Study tips
The During
During class …
Show up. Yes, getting out of
bed on winter mornings for
first lecture is hard, but your
dedication will pay off in
the long run. Your lecturer
is there to provide insight
and an overview of the
course material. If you make
a habit of always showing
up to class, you will be
better prepared for tutorials
– and there is less chance
that you will fall behind and
find yourself overwhelmed
before exams.
The Before
Before term starts …
Make a calendar at the beginning
of every term with an outline of the
assignments, tests and exams you
will need to complete. Then work
backwards from there to work out how
much time you need for each task.
Before class …
A little bit of preparation goes
a long way. Do the readings that
your lecturers set for you. They
ask you to read them for a reason.
Take notes. Effective
note-taking now will be
a lifesaver later. It will help
you to make the most out
of tutorials and improve
your exam revision.
Tuts and pracs …
Tutorials and practicals
are generally compulsory.
If you don’t attend
these sessions, you
won’t qualify for your DP
(duly performed) and you
won’t be allowed to write
your exams.
