6. Top 5 Tips from Kids

1. Block out a weekly study schedule:

• Figure 3-hours of study-time, per 1-credit.

For example:

PG R100A - EOPS Student Success (1 credit class x 3 hours = 3 hours of study time)

ART R101 - Intro to Art (3 credit class x 3 hours = 9 hours of study time)

2. Block out a weekly class schedule:

• Online classes typically don't have a scheduled class time, which makes scheduling your week hard!
• On your calendar commit to certain days every single week, scheduling time you'll spend for class work and time you'll spend for study time.
• Mark all these time in your calendar.

* This is your Class and Study Time, so do your best to stick with the schedule you create.

3. Due Dates:

• Mark in your Calendar specific Assignments, Projects, and Quiz/Exam dates.
• Plan Ahead! Calculate how long a task will take, then plan accordingly and schedule that time in your calendar.

Some questions to ask yourself:

1. Where are you studying? - - is it a quiet place, are your kids nearby to distract, are you comfortable in your study space?
2. What time are you studying? - - are you alert during this time of day/night?
3. Are you spending more than 2-hours studying during one study session? - - if you are, that's too much study time in one session.
4. Are you spreading out your study time over the week? - - or are you cramming it all in the night before an exam?

Be like Daisy.
