Writing using Readily Available Materials


As college students, first-week motivation will definitely be lost somewhere in the semester. At this point, students will opt for a less time-consuming and more effective method of note-taking, this being annotating on readily available materials such as lecture slides or study manuals. This method only requires either a gadget such as an iPad, printed-out notes, or study manuals. It works particularly well when slides are handed out before the class to expand the ideas and concepts taught in class. Moreover, it reduces the risk of having or accidentally inputting faulty information as the main points are readied by the lecturers themselves.

Tips for Better Time Management

Besides that, tasks should be done according to priority instead of difficulty to ensure that there will not be a race against deadlines. Finally, make sure to be lenient with yourself. Allow yourself to indulge in sufficient breaks and the occasional treats for managing your time well. It is important to remember although good time management is vital for students, they are not robots either and should be able to deflect from their rigid routines. - Raveena Kaur Chouhan
