Take Control of Homework So It Doesn't Control You Part 1 http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/121.html Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you: • Reinforce what you've learned during the day. • Build study habits that are essential in college. • Prepare for your classes. • Get a sense of progress. Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively. Set the Mood Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library. Know Where to Begin Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end. Study at the Same Time Every Day Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
