Tricks and Tips for Students |

For Lectures
When you pick your seat in the lecture room, select your place carefully. Lecturers tend to look toward the middle, back part of the room.

"Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living."
John Dewey |
Making Time
Study your material and practice it when you are not in training. Sacrifice some of your free time, if you don’t have a computer at home or at work, ask someone if you can use it during the lunch break . It’s a short term sacrifice for a long term gain. |
Building Relationships
Make friends with your trainer / fellow students, that way you will get more out of the course and feel more comfortable in doing so.

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
Maya Angelou |
Create a simple "To Do" list
This simple program will help you identify a few items, the reason for doing them, a timeline for getting them done, and then printing this simple list and posting it for reminders.

Daily / weekly planner
Write down appointments, classes, and meetings on a chronological diary or chart.
If you are visual, sketch out your schedule. First thing in the morning, check what's ahead for the day and always go to sleep knowing you're prepared for tomorrow.

Long term planner
Use a monthly chart so that you can plan ahead. Long term planners will also serve as a reminder to constructively plan time for yourself |
