Jane's Top Ten Study
Tips
|
By: Jane Neuberger,
Director of The Tutoring and Learning Center
10.Go to class. Every single
class session costs approximately $43.00. Get your money's worth.
Take notes.
9. Remember the 2-for-1
rule: For every hour in class, you should spend at least 2
hours of reading and studying. If you aren't doing this, see
#10.
8. Buy the book. Read it, 15
- 20 pages every night. Take notes. See tip #9.
7. Understand and apply the 24-hour
rule of memory. Review what you read or heard in class
within 24 hours of reading it or hearing it. You'll remember more,
for life and for the test. Some research claims that we forget 46%
of what we read or hear in one day, unless we review it, and 81%
after 28 days.
6. Find your best study time and
comfy space. Be there, in the same place, the same time,
five days a week. In addition, make good use of the breaks between
your classes. Don't wait 'till evening to start your study.
5. Avoid the "one size fits all" pattern of studying. First, look
up "learning styles" on the web or in the library. Find out how you learn best. Next,
for each course, decide which study strategies are the best fit for
your learning style and your professor's expectations. Adjust the
strategy if it no longer fits.

October, the mischevious month of Halloween.
1. Think twice before using simulated knives, guns or swords,
If such props are used, be certain that they do not appear
authentic and are soft and flexible to prevent injury.
2. Candle lit jack-o-lanterns are a fire hazard and should be kept
clear of doorsteps and landings. Consider using battery powered
lanterns and chemical lightsticks in place of candles in
decorations and costumes, and never put jack-o lanterns on your
roof!
3. Don't have flammable materials easily accessible.
4. When walking around, stick to sidewalks and crosswalks. Do not
take shortcut through back yards, alleys or parks.
5. Carry a flashlight and travel in groups.
6. Excercise extreme caution while driving. There are more
pedistrians out at Halloween and excited revelers may dart out onto
the street, or have their vision obscured by costumes. Drive
slowly and be extra careful when backing out of driveways.
7. For everyone's safety, leave your porch light on to shed more
light on the sidewalk.
8. If you are going to provide candy to Trick-or-Treaters it
should be individually wrapped packaging.

First-Year
Experience : Student Profile
Name: Tyrell Carter
Hometown: Boston, MA
Major: Communications and
Rhetorical Studies
School: Visual and Performing
Arts
Why Did You come to Syracuse?
I came to Syracuse because I knew I wanted to experience a large
school learning experience. Coming to the Cuse would force me to
avoid hiding in my comfort zone and that's exactly what I wanted to
make sure I didn't do. At a school like Syracuse I knew that I
would have the opportunity to be immersed in a setting with
multiple perspectives and cultures that would contrast my own and
allow me to grow as an individual.
What has
your experience been like so far?
So far it has been a little over
whelming with a lot going on and a lot to keep track off. Family
that wants to talk everyday, friends that are trying to hang out,
mandatory events by organizations I'm already apart of, and trying
to finding a moment of peace for myself on the of all the school
work I have to handle. I can say that it's been helping me shape
schedules and create priorities. It has been a lot of fun as well
especially knowing that I am in control of what I may choose to do
or not do. Being free from the parents.
What are you
looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to
doing well in all of my courses and getting very familiar with my
professors. Not just that but also exploring all the possibilities
and opportunities the campus has to offer. I'm very curious as to
where I will end up on my journey through college, but what I find
even more intriguing is what I'm going to be doing on the process
of my journey. Although I do not have a set vision just yet I am
started to mold one as we speak and seeing the output is going to
be phenomenal.
