Man : Student Help (Student Study Skill)
Study skills or study strategies are approaches
applied to learning.
Generally, critical to success in
school, colleges and university in acquiring good grades, and are useful for
learning throughout one's life.
An array of study skills, which may
tackle ;
a. the process of organising and taking
in new information,
b. retaining information,
c. dealing with assessment
They include mnemonics, which aid the retention of lists of informations, effective reading and concentration techniques as well efficent note taking.
While often left up to
the student and their support network, study skills are increasingly needed at Tertiary
level.
A
number of books and websites are available, from works on specific technique such
as Tony Buzan’s books on mind-mapping, to general guides to successful study
such as those by Stella Cotrell.
More broadly,
any skill which boosts a person's ability to study and pass exams can be termed
a study skill, and this could include time management and motivational
techniques.
No two people study the same way, and certainty that what
works for one person may not work for another.
This guide is designed to help you develop
effective study skills.
