Taking an information-heavy class? Try this study strategy

What you need to know: You’ve probably figured out by now that college requires a higher level of independent learning than high school. Each week during the semester, instructors introduce new information through lecture and discussions in class and readings outside of class. That is 8-16 weeks of information! Going to class, taking notes, reading textbooks and practicing content—doing homework— are the building blocks to learning. The general rule of thumb for time spent preparing outside the classroom is 2-3 hours per week per credit hour. A 3-hour class may require between 9-12 hours of study preparation each week. So how do you use that study time effectively?

Try this: The University of Oregon recommends that you “spend 80 percent of your study time engaged in reading, taking notes and actively reviewing material for that week, and 20 percent of your study time reviewing material from prior weeks. This system helps you stay caught up and will keep you from forgetting information from earlier in the term.” Those weekly review sessions are key, especially for information heavy classes, like psychology or pretty much any class that ends with ology! Learn how the weekly review strategy works by reading the University of Guelph’s Time Management Guide, Coping with Information-Heavy Courses in Related Links.

How long have you been a student at Lakeland?
I have been attending Lakeland for a year and a half now. I started in the Fall of 2014.

Are you a College Credit Plus student? If so, from what high school?
I am a CCP student from Madison High School.

What is your major? Are you seeking a degree?
I will be graduating from Lakeland Community College with my associate of arts & science. I am planning on receiving my bachelor's in electrical engineering.

Do you plan to transfer to a four-year college/university? If so, which one?
I have been accepted into Cleveland State University where I hope to be a resident assistant as an incoming freshman, who will be working in junior level classes.

Are you involved in any clubs or organizations? Do you hold an officer position?
I am currently the President of the Engineering Technology Club at Lakeland. I figured I’d help other students build their resumes, seek job opportunities, and go on trips to see the different engineering environments.

Do you have a job? Where? What are your job duties?
I work seasonal jobs. In the winter, I work at a tree farm where I wrap up trees for people and tie them to their cars. It’s actually a great workout! During the summer, I work in the maintenance department at Powderhorn Golf Course. There is a wide variety of job duties, which is why I love this job. I will be mowing greens, fairways, tees, and rough one day, and will be pulling out carts, weed whacking, trimming, and a bunch of course work the next day!

What are your personal interests/hobbies?
One of my main hobbies is working out all year round. I love to snowboard, golf, and hangout with my brothers and sisters.

Do you have children (names & ages)? Brothers/sisters? Pets (names)? I have two brothers named Ben (20 years old) and Matt (24 years old). I also have two sisters named Elise (22 years old) and Katie (25 years old). We used to have a dog named Molly, but she ran away.

Anything about your personal or home life you would like to share?
I am the youngest of my family and all of my brothers and sisters are off to college, so I am living at home with my mom and dad. We are not used to it being so quiet!

Please share a favorite quote, your thoughts about life, or some other inspirational message.
My favorite quote would have to be by Oliver Herford. “A woman’s mind is cleaner than a man’s: She changes it more often.”

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
-Harriet Tubman

In 1887 a group of groundhog hunters from Punxsutawney, PA dubbed themselves the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club and declared their furry oracle, Punxsutawney Phil, the one and only "official" weather-prognosticating groundhog. When he's not predicting weather, Punxsutawney Phil makes his come at the Groundhog Zoo, an annex of the town library.
