1. Thrive rather than survive

   exotaobaby replied to sbaptiste1192's topic in General Students

   On the iPhone when I had one, I used studybuddy although I'm sure a lot new apps came out since it's been 2 years. Ever switching to Samsung, I like Time Tracker. I set up 2 categories during study sessions, one for studying and one for breaks, and t...

   Haha, no kidding it really keeps me going, especially on the days when i just feel like sitting around clicking through youtube! Are you competitive in nature? I'm a type A and I never like to lose, and seeing others working hard/succeeding/getting t...

   Definitely attend/pay attention in lecture! Teachers always give out the important (sometimes unimportant/off-topic) material, but at least you'll be able to better understand material and pinpoint the key parts you should be studying come exam time....

   exotaobaby replied to MrsSmith06's topic in General Students

   Congrats guys!!! I finished up my 1st year and I'm starting my 2nd. It was really brutal - I never expected college to be tough. Time management is KEY! Sacrifice your social life if you have to. But try to get enough sleep - don't fully rely on coff...

7. Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

   exotaobaby replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

   Record lectures, and write out key points in a notebook during the lecture After that I play back the lecture at home and type out real notes. Lecture just gives me a preview of the content (I'm mostly listening) so it's where the understanding of th...

8. iPad for Notes

   exotaobaby replied to FutureRNZehrb2727's topic in General Students

   I prefer typing it out. For things I have to write out/draw out, I'll do it on a separate piece of paper and then scan it in using this portable scanner (about the size of a big hole puncher) and add it to my notes :) Or if I'm too lazy I just take a...
