Here are study suggestions in which I find helpful when I was going to school and I thought that they would be interesting and helpful for our friends who are currently going to school.
1. Read course objectives and understand what the intentions are for each course
2. Read only materials covered by the notes or course objectives
3. When reading, underline important facts and concepts--highlighter is preferred
4. Make flash cards
-Write a summary of key points of what you have read in your own words based on your understanding
-Draw pictures or diagrams to help you understand the concepts
-Produce concept maps (mind maps) to help you understand concepts or ideas
5. Minimize reading
6. Maximize doing
*Remember, learning is not about memorizing concepts or ideas BUT understanding the concepts and ideas so that you can use them at a later stage. Once you are able to comprehend and understand the concepts; your abilities to remember will greatly improved.
*For those of you who are English learners; make effort to build and increase your vocabualry base. You should make an attempt to learn 10 words per day. Write English on one side and Khmer interpretration on the opposite side. Make games out of the them with friends and family members when you have free time.
*Just imagine, 10 words per day x 365 days per year...how many words? The power of words and reading comprehension are important in understanding all other subject matters; hence, reading is key to your success.
Have fun studying...
