Study habits<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. How much time do you spend studying for each class every week?<\/strong>\u00a0 I spend about two to three hours for each class. Sometimes I spend a little bit more time; it just depends on what is due or what is coming up. For example, I spend about 3 hours studying chemistry, history, and sociology but it takes me about 2 hours to study English.
    1. Do you need to put more time into studying, and for which class or classes? <\/strong>\u00a0I feel like I should put more time into studying chemistry. It is harder to study for the class because it’s an asynchronous class and not a scheduled class. Due to it being asynchronous, I feel like I do not put as much focus and attention to chemistry.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
    2. Where do you study? <\/strong>\u00a0I used to study in the study rooms but since they are closed, I have been going to Webb to study. I found that I complete a lot more work in a different environment than in my room where I\u2019m comfortable. If I study in my room, truly little work will be accomplished.
      1. Do you often find yourself distracted while studying?\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, I do sometimes, I will let food and drinks distract me at times. Once I get thirsty and hungry and I feel that need, I love to focus on my work a little bit.<\/li><\/ol>
        1. What could you do to remove these distractions?<\/strong> I could eat before I study and make sure I am well hydrated to limit the distractions in my studies.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
        2. What time of day do you study?<\/strong> I study at nighttime. I always felt comfortable studying at night. I have the most energy at night, so I spend the most time doing my work. I will study in the morning if I need to focus on a topic a little more than others.<\/li>
        3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 i.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you feel focused and alert at this time?<\/strong> At night, I have a lot of energy and I tend to stay up late because of it. So at night I can focus more on my work versus the day time, I get very distracted by everything around me easily.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          1. Learning style
            1. What specific study techniques do you think work best for you?\u00a0 How do these vary from class to class? <\/strong>Doing a lot of practice quizzes helps me in all my classes. It helps me prepare for tests and quizzes and I remember how to answer a problem when I do this.<\/li>
            2. What new study techniques have you tried this semester based on what you have learned about learning styles?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><\/li>
            3. Transition to college
              1. Has college been what you expected?<\/strong> When I came to college, I was not, to be honest. I was expecting to have online classes, but I expected the workload to get harder and the classes to be challenging.
                1. In what way is your college experience different from what you expected?\u00a0 <\/strong>College is different from what I expected especially with COVID-19. COVID-19 has changed college a lot. I thought I would have in-person classes, but I only have one in-person class and the rest course online.<\/li><\/ol>
                  1. What has surprised you about your experiences so far this semester? <\/strong>The number of people that I made connections with surprised me. I was not expecting to meet a lot of people this year.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    1. If you live on campus:<\/em> What has been your toughest challenge with moving away to college? Easiest challenge to overcome?<\/strong> The toughest thing to overcome was being away from my family for such a long period of time. I am really close to them, so being away from them was hard to get used to.<\/li>
                    2. Connecting to campus
                      1. Name one problem or challenge you have encountered this semester, and which resource(s) at ODU you have\/can utilize to assist with this situation. <\/strong>I was having trouble trying to pay for tuition and financial aid for my account. I contacted a person who works in financial aid and she walked through the issues, the issue was resolved.<\/li>
                      2. Is there a friend, roommate, professor, advisor, or group in the ODU community <\/u>who has helped you so far this semester? If so, how did they help you?\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, I met with a success coach, she helped me understand any information regarding any hold I had on my account and other things that were available on campus. I met with some friends as well, we have the same classes, and it makes it easier to talk about topics that I may need help on.<\/li>
                      3. Have you attended an interest meeting for a club? Why did you decide to get involved or not get involved? <\/strong>No, I did not attend any clubs, I do not think joining a club is best for me now. I want to wait to join a club during my sophomore or junior year.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
