BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE STUDENT
Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline. There are six areas which
are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you will become an effective student.
Targets
Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to read one chapter of a book
each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend. This kind of detailed, planned
target is more effective than a vague commitment. It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan.
This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail!
Rewards
Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a
favorite piece of music after one hour's study. Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you
feel good about yourself.
