Study Tips

1. Get into a routine

   Creating a routine can help you stay consistent day-to-day and week-to-week. Write down your general weekly schedule on a whiteboard or calendar, and then establish time blocks that you will spend doing your homework. This schedule can help focus your time and stay on task.

   Check Canvas daily, even on the weekends, and when you are, absent from school for any reason. Check it even when you don’t think you have any assignments.

2. Set Rules for Yourself

   No distractions while working on your assignments

   Put away your phone. Reward yourself for completed assignments. Once you have completed a set amount of schoolwork you can look at social media for 10 minutes. Set a timer to remind you to start working again.

   Focus on one assignment at a time, and only turn your attention to the next task when you've completed and submitted the first assignment.

3. Use Tools to stay Organized

   Canvas Calendar (Use Canvas button on Fremont Page - will pull up link below) https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-Calendar-as-a- student/ta-p/534

   Make sure that once you complete an assignment you submit it on Canvas.

   Planner: Write down schedule and assignments as you're given them.

   Folder: Keep all papers for a class in one central location. Use a different folder for each course to find items more easily.

4. Color-Code

   Color-coding your materials is a visual cue that allows you to easily see what belongs together. For example, buy a blue folder and notebook for math, a red folder and notebook for science and so on.

   Color coordinate your folders, planners, etc. with the your Canvas Course Cards
