Whether you’re a student just out of high school, or a mature student setting off on a new career, you have great learning potential. Here are some study tips for helping you achieve your academic goals this year.
  1. Ask Yourself: What Kind of Learner am I?
    Do you learn best by hearing? By seeing? Or maybe you learn best through “hands-on” experiences.   Drop by Tyndale’s Academic Support office to speak with Sharon about what kind of learner you are and how you can clearly define your academic goals.

  2. Set Realistic Expectations
    Although it’s ideal to get “A” grades, not everyone will surpass course expectations in this way. When you set realistic expectations for grades, this will allow you to study smarter, more enjoyably, and at the intensity you have the capacity for. Shoot high, but be realistic about your capacity to attain certain grades. If you need help with writing essays, make sure to drop by Tyndale’s Writing Centre and Lina will set you up with a Writing Tutor.

  3. Develop Structured Study Habits
    Once you’ve clearly defined your academic goals, make sure you establish a structured study schedule to help you meet these goals. Factor your learning style into your study times. In other words, engage the “senses” you are most comfortable with for grasping information. Set aside “study days” and make sure to take regular breaks to give your mind a rest. Avoid procrastination. Start your assignments early. Have a study schedule. This will all help.
Find your learning style, set realistic goals, and structure your time wisely. These are the keys to academic success!
