Study Tools and Strategies

Our learning specialists have developed helpful resources to support your learning. We’ve organized these tools and strategies based on their purpose so that you can select the resources that work for you.

Assess the Demands on Your Time

When you have a lot to do, it’s helpful to assess the demands on your time on various scales. Print and fill out our semester calendars and our monthly and weekly planning tools.

Manage Your Priorities

While calendars and scheduling tools are helpful, successfully managing your responsibilities requires setting goals and prioritizing tasks.

Clarify the Expectations and Align Your Study Strategies

Work to understand the expectations of each course, create a plan for each assignment and exam, and realign your strategies based on feedback.

Seek Support for More Effective Learning

We encourage students to utilize peer study groups, office hours with faculty and TAs, drop-in and weekly tutoring, and appointments at the Marks Family Center for Excellence in Writing. University Life has also identified essential Support Resources for all students and the Grad Center highlights specific Resources and Support for graduate and professional students. We would be happy to discuss these resources with you during a learning consultation.
