NOTE TAKING

Note Taking is an aspect of learning that cannot be overemphasized. The major reason for this is the fact that when you write any information down, it helps you to remember better. It also serves as a reference point any time you want to study a particular course. Note taking is important. Therefore, any time you attend a lecture, do not rely on the fact that you have a textbook or the module for the course. Try jotting things down in your own handwriting and adding explanations for yourself where necessary. You would see that it would help you to study and master the content of the course better.
Kindly read the following excerpt from California Polytechnic State University on different systems or methods for note taking. It will help you indeed.

WHAT TYPE OF A PERSON ARE YOU?

Do you want to discover an interesting thing about your person and how what you see yourself as can actually affect you? This post will be of immense help to you.

FACILITATOR CONSULTATION

Hello, I want to introduce you to another aspect of your study habit which can also help you to excel in your studies; consultation with your facilitators. This is very important aspect of your study habit. So many students do neglect this. And it is not good. You need to understand that you should  personally do a consultation with your facilitator to share with him or her the challenges you are encountering in your studies for them to assist you. It is your right to consult your facilitators. Make use of the opportunity to excel.

ACHIEVEMENT CLOCK

A stitch in time, they say, saves nine. In any activity one has set out to do, it is possible for one to monitor whether one is achieving or failing. Achievement is not a one time thing it comes through incremental effort and steady progression. As you have started this session, The counselling unit is encouraging you to set your achievement clock. That is, try on daily basis to check the activities you carried out that are closely connected to your academic pursuit. You need to time yourself everyday. Never you go to bed everyday without asking yourself what you have done towards achieving your academic goal. Set your achievement clock; promise yourself  that no day shall pass by without you accomplishing at least one assignment towards your success in your academics. The activities include:

• Checking the LMS to see if you have any assignment or task to be done
• Browsing the Net to get more materials on the courses you are offering
• Reading at least a study session from one of your courses
• Noting down gray areas in your modules which will form part of your discussions with your facilitators
• Doing your assignments to meet up submission deadlines.
• Practising with past questions on the courses you are offering for the session
• Joining a study group ( it is advisable not to be more than 5 members in a group)
• Having general positive attitude and disposition towards your academic pursuit.  

DO NOT WAIT TILL RESIDENTIAL, START NOW. IT PAYS TO BE PREPARED

HAD I KNOWN

This phrase usually trails any regret for not succeeding in any endavour that an individual has embarked on. For instance, educational pursuit. Let me start by seeking your views about the phrase. Do you think it can be avoided by an individual? Let me hear your views. As an individual, I feel that the phrase would only come to an individual who does not do what he is supposed to do at the right time he or she is supposed to do it. We have discussed a lot of things on this blog that would help you as a student to really face your studies squarely in other not to have any regrets at the end of your stay here in DLI. I know you would do so. Check out the last post on this blog and truly follow what is said there. I promise you your being in DLI will worth its while at the end of your studies here.
You can always rely on the counsellors to assist you with any challenge that may want to hinder you from succeeding. Take care.
