ORIENTATION: new student tips #1; Time Management

From the Counselling staff at Student Assist:

  1. Re-structure your time to give yourself at least 10 hours a week for every subject you are enrolled in. You may need to talk over your needs with other people in your  household so they understand your need to make changes.
  2. Use ‘waiting’ time such as when waiting for a bus or sitting waiting for an appointment, as learning time, for example, have a series of index cards with summaries, definitions or formulae that you can read over.
  3. Use a timetable to work out and plan time for study. Make sure you still leave time for relaxation and leisure activities.
  4. Use your assignment due dates as a guide for long-term planning and set deadlines for each stage of working on the assignment.
