I was just wondering how do you study for your courses? and must you have around you while you study.I usually study before and after work. I have all my notes, pda (pp, recordings, etc) laptop w/cds, and of course my books!I usually water or juice and something sweet to keep up when I FEEL like I'm getting tired.I just cleaned out my entire room. I'm still working on jazzing it up so I can have a space that is organized and a good place to focus/study.:pumpiron:
madampomfrey 54 Posts Specializes in Pediatric CVICU. Jul 14, 2007 I usually study by making notecards (basically by copying my notes). I then pace around my room reading the cards aloud until I can recite them from memory. I also often study with a friend. We usually just sit and I read the notes aloud and we discuss them. This works for us because she learns best by hearing it and me by saying it. I also have to drink ice water. Why I don't know but if I drink anything else (even mountain dew or something with caffeine) I'll fall asleep. I also usually put a movie on, typically "While you were sleeping" or "When Harry met Sally", I can recite these from memory so I don't pay attention to them and other sounds (roomates) get drowned out. This is all kind of weird but it works for me and if its not broke why fix it?
jemommyRN 587 Posts Specializes in ICU. Jul 14, 2007 i have to have my notes, several highlighters, pens and my textbook spread out all over the table. I need everything open and I read my text and fill in my notes. I usually have something to snack on. If i have my notes and not the text, or vice versa, I feel like I am missing some information.
