University Resources: Week Five Study Plan

How will I approach the content of Week Five? Before week five begins, I will look over the reading assignment, which is chapter 5, the strategies for combating test anxiety section of chapter 9, and appendices D and E.

Examples

• What will I do before the week begins? I will organize my week doing one or two steps of my homework each day. That way I will not have to cram all of the work into one or two days.

• How will I organize my week?

• How much time will I set aside for this week's content? For week five’s assignments I will set aside the same amount of time for studying as I do every week. I always try to set aside two hours per each hour spent in class.

How will I study the content of Week Five? I have a kinesthetic learning style, which means I use all senses necessary to learn to learn what I am studying. One thing that helps me study my reading assignments better is reading over everything, then taking important highlights in the reading, and writing them down in my own words.

Examples

• How does my learning style fit in here? I am usually able to concentrate in most settings. Most of the time it is hard for me to find a completely quiet, peaceful place to study since I do not have my own computer at this time. Once I get my own computer, I believe it will be easier for me to find a more private place to study, hence, I will be able to concentrate better.

• What will help me concentrate better?

• What will my study environment look like? Currently my study environment is at my mother’s house. Since I have a four month old son, she watches him while I study. There are occasional interruptions if he begins to cry or if my mother has something that she needs to get done. For the most part my study environment is good enough to get all of my work done on time.

How will I remember the content of Week Five?
