How
to Improve Study Habits
Book 2 of 2: Tips to Starting College Series
By Christine Reidhead
For students 13 through college graduation, Christine Reidhead's guide to building study skills is an extremely important book for those who want to secure their future through good grades. Too many students' grades are falling, especially in a time when regular classrooms cannot fully open. Parents everywhere are at a loss regarding what to do with their responsibilities in the face of the increasing downturn in their children's grades. It seems as though, with the advent of social media, the attention of a lot of students has been shifted from their books to their smartphones or computers. Apart from social media, blame has also been put on a decline in the interest of students regarding education in general. Students, at the moment, do not have the motivation or zeal, as it seems, to even study.
Good study habits, or
skills, are solutions to the problems experienced by students. This has been
true for a long time, but the world is changing rapidly, which also means that
the tools employed during study have to be changed in order to keep up.
This is especially true as
a result of the covid-19 pandemic that has forced students to study and learn
from home rather than in the classroom. E-Learning, or online learning, can be
effective, but only if the student has the discipline and drive to succeed
using the tools and materials they are provided by teachers. Without strong
study skills the student will fall behind in the classroom. Online the failure
to develop good study skills can be devastating, leading to an inability to
achieve the success in life the student could otherwise achieve.
This excellent guide walks
students through skills and habits which a student, or a person, employs while
studying in order to make the most out of the experience. The kind of skills
employed by a person, whether good or bad, determines how successful they will
be in the process of learning, and Reidhead shows how to understand study
skills, discover what kind of learner you are, develop great study skills,
avoid bad study habits, identify the best places to study, and how to keep up
with Online Learning during the current ovid-19 pandemic. It also helps parents
and students to identify when certain students are studying excessively, harming
the effectiveness of their studying.
This is a must book for
students who want good grades. Both a guide and a self-help book, it can help
any student of any age, middle school through graduate school, succeed in their
classes whether they are held in a classroom or online.
