How are you studying?

[seretide]

Hey guys,

I'm in the science course with subjects chem, bio, and data analysis. Basically as the topic title says, how are you studying for subjects, not necessarily the same as mine. I'm finding it difficult to see what I should be doing - do I look at the lectures to date? Do I find questions in the textbook and attempt these? What do I do? I know that most of these things should all be done for each, but as well, how are you organizing it?

I don't seem to be able to set a schedule and end up either procrastinating or just saying, "I think that was enough for today"; even though nothing was done

Any advice is appreciated

I also do Science. In lectures, I mostly pay attention to what's going on trying to follow, maybe jotting down key-points.

Then at home (or in breaks when I'm not tired) I hand-write notes for all subjects, using lecture material, textbooks, other material. Handwriting notes is the best. Very time consuming, but I feel that writing stuff out really helps. Especially in your own words. Just storing them is a pain, I'm at 60+ pages for maths, keeping track of chapters, pages, etc is taxing

Then, if I have time, or have a test, etc, coming up, I'll do a few questions from the textbook and stuff

Just out of curiosity, how does accessing wireless internet on campus work?

You connect to it with your uni student account..?

e, oh right you're in year 12...every uni student gets an account and you use it for all uni services (wifi, email etc.)

Right. And I'm assuming that you get a certain amount of data to use for free per week or per month? Is it a fast connection?

From what I've heard (I don't possess any wifi devices) you can access Guest wireless at Monash. Not too sure.

Uni connections are all pretty speedy

Free for all to use. I had to get mine set up at the IT place though (bailleu library) but it's all good now.

It's fast enough.

1GB/week last time I checked. More than enough, even for those of us browsing the net etc. during down time/lectures. Plenty fast for downloading from the intranet, pretty good from the internet.
