WHAT IS TIME?

NOUN : PROGRESS OF EXISTENCE AND EVENTS IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

TIME MANAGEMENT : ... THE ABILITY TO USE ONE'S TIME EFFECTIVELY OR PRODUCTIVELY, ESPECIALLY AT WORK.

OPTIMIZING STUDY TIME

  • ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF LEARNING HAPPENS IN THE CLASSROOM.
  • LECTURES SERVES AS AN INTRODUCTION TO A SUBJECT: (IT'S UP TO YOU TO PUT THE FLESH ON THE BONES THROUGH FURTHER READING, ASSIGNMENT, NOTE-MAKING AND REVISION)
  • IT IS CRUCIAL TO SET ASIDE ENOUGH TIME FOR STUDY TO CONSOLIDATE AND DEEPEN YOUR LEARNING.
  • YOU MIGHT WANT TO TREAT UNIVERSITY PRETTY MUCH AS A9-5 JOB.. WITH SOME WEEKEND WORK TOO!!!
  • ONE HOUR OF LECTURES = ONE HOUR OF STUDY TIME
