To help you plan and stay ahead this semester, check out these tips and resources from The Learning Center.

1. Creating a Routine: Find an organization system that works for you, figure out when and how you are most productive.
2. Making a Study Plan: Schedule one hour of studying for every hour of class per week- yes, you read that right! Include alternating subjects and breaks into your study plan and be specific about what you plan on studying.
3. Maintaining Motivation: Set rewards for daily goals, weekly goals, and end of the semester goals. Make sure your schedule is balanced with study, work, and self-care.
