focus on the task at hand. If you find that you read through material
and suddenly discover that you have no idea about what you've just
read, or if you attend lectures and have difficulty paying attention to
what is being said, these tips may help:
>Stick to a routine, efficient study schedule
>Study in a quiet environment
For a study break, do something different from what you've been doing
(e.g., walk
around if you've been sitting), and in a different area
>Avoid daydreaming by asking yourself questions about the material as
you study it
>Before lectures, look over the notes of the previous lecture and read
the course
material pertaining to the lecture so that you can anticipate the main
ideas that the
instructor will cover
>Show outward interest during lectures (attentive expression and
posture) to self-
motivate internal interest
>Resist distractions by sitting in front of the room away from
disruptive classmates and
by focusing on the instructor through listening and note taking
