Improve Study Skills

Mildred Said:

What study skills should i improve if i want to start Aerospace engineering??

We Answered:

Chemistry, physics, and calculus are going to be the three key classes.

However, you definitely want to have good enough English skills...writing and explaining skills and such. You may know all of the information in the world, but if you can't put it into words just right....there's no point.

Good luck!

as for reading, read anything and everything !

Courtney Said:

how do i improve my study skills?

We Answered:

In part, you're asking the correct question by asking how to improve your study skills as opposed to simply deciding that you need to study more.

The first thing I would ask, rhetorically which means just as a question and/or as a question to ask yourself, is what is different this year as opposed to previous years? Are you more or differently distracted either in class, in general, or at home? For what ever reasons, are you spending less time studying? These are pretty much individual questions and answers that you must answer yourself. Even so, more or different study skills, study enviorment, or even more sleep help you improve the result of the time that you do study.

The second general set of questions that I would ask are what is different this year compared to previous years in terms of the material, the way it is presented, how you are to complete your assignments, and how you are tested on the material you should have learned. The easiest question to answer may be about presentation and classroom enviornment: Is it different this year than it has been in past years? How is it different? How can you maximize your in-class learning? What are you having troubles with during your in-class learning experiences? The second group of questions is about the material itself: What is different with the material and the text books? Waht is different in what you are being asked to do in your assignments this year versus previous years? How are the assignments different? Are you being asked to use different skills this year versus previous years?The third group of questions go hand in hand with the second group and relate to how the teachers are determining what you've learned and to what degree: Are you using different skills in your assignments than what you're used to such as essay versus short answer versus multiple choice? Are you using different skills in your tests and quizes? Are you being asked to answer questions to a deeper depth? All of a sudden is there an emphasis on a particular skill such as spelling and/or punctuation being added to the grading equation in addition to having a handle on the actual content of the material? - Go back over your papers, assignments, quizes, and tests. Try to decide why the grades on them weren't the straight A's that you are used to. When you studied or did the homework,: Did you study too many general concepts versus enough of the details? Did you study the details (facts, figures, dates, names) versus the concepts? Did you learn or "memorize" the book rather than how the material applies beyond the book such as other subjects, your life, or the world in general? Did you not study the material well enough to be able to crank out the answers or solve the problems during a timed quiz or test; thinking and figuring it out during the actual testing time may be what's causing you that slight slip of grade?

how can i improve my studying skills and concentration level ?

We Answered:

Everyone is different. I study better a night. Also I do better if I have a plan and then I can check off what I have accomplished. I use the syllabus or I write out the chapters I need to cover. I do better if I read the text book and take notes (rather than highlighting, which makes my mind wander) If there are exercises or problems included be sure to do them so you can reinforce material and evaluate your progress.
