College Study Skills – 5 Strategies For Improvement
Effective college study skills are critical for college success. There is no one size fits all method of studying, but one thing that is likely true: the study habits you had in high school will probably be inadequate at the college level. Developing good study skills from the beginning will start you off on the path toward success in your college years.
Study the material before you go to class. This may not have been necessary in high school. But with the amount and depth of material covered in each class at the college level, you will be behind before class even starts if you do not take time to become acquainted with the material before you step into the classroom. You will be relieved, if not pleasantly surprised, at how much easier you will absorb the lecture in class when you have made the effort to familiarize yourself with the subject beforehand.
Study every day. Studies show that students who take time to study every day fare better than students with more sporadic study habits, and much better than those who cram. How much time should you study? A rule of thumb for effective college study skills is to devote three hours a week for homework and studying for each credit hour. If your biology class is three credit hours, then you should spend approximately 15 hours a week on homework and studying outside the classroom. If you are taking a total of 15 credit hours, then you should be spending upwards of 45 hours per week on homework and studying. When you think about it, committing to a daily study schedule is really the only option you have for getting in all the hours needed for studying and homework each week.

For much of the twentieth century, philosophy and science went their separate ways. In moral philosophy, fear of the so-called naturalistic fallacy kept moral philosophers from incorporating developments in biology and psychology. Since the 1990s, however, many philosophers have drawn on recent advances in cognitive psychology, brain science, and evolutionary psychology to inform their work. This collaborative trend is especially strong in moral philosophy, and these three volumes bring together some of the most innovative work by both philosophers and psychologists in this emerging interdisciplinary field.
