So here is my tips for those who are currently finding difficulties in studying:
1. First, find what type of learner are you. Finding out what kind of learner are you would make you more aware about your capacities to absorb ideas. I'm mixed of auditory and kinesthetic learner, i learned that i'm more sensitive in sounds (fine, not so sensitive) and learned to do it by how my professor did it. Because through doing it by my own, i found it easier to remember and to learn, but of course it depends upon the subject.
Scientists and psychologists have developed a number of different models to understand the different ways that people learn best. One popular theory, the VARK model, identifies four primary types of learners: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Each learning type responds best to a different method of teaching. Auditory learners will remember information best after reciting it back to the presenter, while kinesthetic learners will jump at the chance to participate in a hands-on activity.
2. Be proactive, instead of passive reactive person inside the classroom. I encountered classmates like this. They tend to react to much quietly because they can't understand the classes. Yeah reacting underneath the class, is ok - but always approach someone who can lead you in the right track. Learning how to be proactive opens a lot opportunity for you to grow like you are able to learn how to speak in front of the class and learn to unfold your potential how to mingle with other. Participate in the class discussion whenever possible. Ask open ended questions. Join the discussion. The point here is that if you are involved in the class discussions you will be paying attention to what the instructor and others are talking about.
3. Study with a group or partner, Study groups usually meet before big tests, but many PUP students have realized how helpful it is to help one another throughout the school year. You can exchange notes, quiz each other, and most importantly, hold each other responsible for showing up to each session. Yeah, my friend Andrea served as my motivator in all my school activities and endeavor when we got in our third year. She served as my partner in crime, doing recital, reminding about homework or doing assignments.
4. Exercise to release stress, Instead of succumbing to anxiety or pressure until studying seems impossible, find a productive outlet to express your frustration. Physical activity releases endorphins that reduce stress and depression, and it's completely free.
5. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, Sooner or later everyone runs into a course that they just struggle with. The material seems too far over their head, the math is too advanced, the instructor is too hard, whatever the reason; most people struggle with one or more classes sometime in their academic career. Don’t let the frustration, anger or fear of failure stop you from getting help. Seek out your instructor and ask for some one on one time. If they can’t or won’t give it to you, ask if there are any school sponsored tutor programs, organized study groups or other resources that might help. Chances are help is within reach if you simply ask for it!
Don't be afraid to reach out to tutors, professors, and classmates if you think you're falling behind. Whether you have trouble understanding a new concept or just need help managing your time, college is full of people who know exactly what you're going through. College is different from high school, you struggle because of the new environment and the possibility that you are not sure about your course. Be calm, because what you feel is actually natural - maybe everyone gone through that, asking about what their life would be in college or senior high school.
