I think one study tip that piqued my interest is to set up a studying environment that allows you to stay focused. Often I study in chaotic environments where there is noise, or music, or something that could take away from my ability to completely focus in on the information that I hope to retain. It becomes like a battle to retain the information and I have to somehow find asylum in my thoughts and manage all of the noise. I have been wanting to form a study group in order to contract different point of views on the writing as well as the math homework and even the thought processes. I think a study group is a perfect way to be able to hone the skills necessary to succeed, gain a sense of camaraderie, and learn to see from other points of view.

Visiting the professors during their office hours is another study tip that I found useful. I think one of the best ways to learn is to bounce ideas off one another and see how the thought process differs in other people. To be able to bounce ideas off of the professor is a great idea because they should have an idea of where errors or misunderstanding can occur. You should also be able to extrapolate knowledge in a more time efficient manner because you will be afforded a smaller setting where your specific needs can be catered to. The professor will also be given the opportunity to explain the specific issues to in a more concise way which decreases the likelihood that their are any vague details or “sticking points”.
