Six study habits to avoid and adopt

No matter what age or academic level, employing effective studying strategies can make all the difference between acing a class, barely passing, or worse, failing miserably. Unfortunately, many of today’s most common study methods can lead to utter disappointment despite best efforts and intentions. In fact, recent research out of the University of WisconsinMadison found many popular study habits are not beneficial at all, and in some cases, are actually detrimental. This year, ditch the surprisingly shoddy study habits and utilize proven effective and emerging technology-based strategies as building blocks to get ahead — in school, and ultimately, in life. With this in mind, EdTech authority and academic futurist Ashish Rangnekar, CEO of BenchPrep, offers this insight on six unexpectedly bad study habits to avoid and six good-sense study habits sure to keep students on track toward academic success.

Six study habits students should change • Studying at home: Studying at home might be convenient and easy, but there are way too many distractions lurking around the residence. Maybe it’s a talkative roommate, the TV, texts and the lure of Facebook, or the growing pile of clothes that are just begging to be washed. Any of these can break concentration and make studying less effective. Consider going to the library and finding a quiet room or desk away from all of these diversions. • Listening to music: The benefits of listening to music while studying have been argued time after time. Although classical music was once believe to increase spatial abilities and improve learning, subsequent research was not able to support this theory. In fact, recent studies show music may actually impair cognitive abilities and hinder memorization because of the changing words and notes in songs. Studying in silence or amid a little white noise will not distract from thinking and can help a student concentrate without the disruption of lyrics and changing tempos. • Procrastinating: Every student is guilty of procrastination at one time or another, but just because it’s common behavior doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. Procrastination can lead to doing things halfway and not retaining as much information as necessary to ace that exam. If a student is pulling frequent all-nighters or rushing in fire-drill mode to finish every essay or project, then it is time to work on time management skills and schedule earlier, and calmer, study sessions. • Not making an outline: If a student is not making outlines while studying or writing a paper, then the results most likely will not be the intended grade. There are many reasons to make an outline. It helps to keep track of large amounts of information, organize ideas and present the class material in a logical way. Instead of trying to reread a textbook or write an essay from scratch, make an outline to organize thoughts and study more effectively. • Highlighting the textbook: Some study advice books recommend reading a textbook and marking the pages with a neon highlighter as the best way to study for an upcoming exam, but in actuality, this is one of the least effective ways for students to remember content. Instead of coloring entire pages with highlighters and trying to reread the text, a student can quiz themselves on the material they just read. This will help to retain more information and score higher on exams. • Pulling all-nighters: Many at the high school and college level are particularly guilty of it, but staying up all night cramming for an exam has been shown to do very little good for test preparation or performance. Not only does sleep deprivation turn students into zombies, but it also takes a serious toll on happiness and overall well-being. The best way to avoid pulling all-nighters is to study ahead of time. It’s easier said than done, but the only way to avoid pulling an all-nighter besides not studying at all. Dedicate a few days a week (or more) to study and review the material to avoid trying to cram everything into that brain in one night.

Six good study habits for success

• Pay attention to study location: Find a quiet, uncluttered, distraction-free area away from the residence, and try a few locations until the ideal study place is discovered. Different spots may work for different subjects, too! Whatever the location, leverage powerful new mobile, interactive study solutions that allow high school and college students to better prepare for tests and course work through any portable device from anywhere, at any time. Such engagement helps students better prepare and minimizes stress, providing everything needed to study in one place, including hundreds of practice questions, detailed explanations, guided study plans, and high-quality reading content from the world’s most respected publishers. • Vary study topics: Psychologists say alternating study topics rather than cramming on a specific one in a single session leaves a deeper impression on the brain. So, don’t grind on the same subject all night. Change it up, take breaks and re-visit the material in intervals — even spacing over a period of days if possible, which has been proven to enhance retention even further. • Make information meaningful: Whether it’s creating rhymes or patterns, or even relating material to something else perhaps through word or scenario associations, such tactics can make information more meaningful and will enhance information recollection. The University of Maryland reports mnemonic devices, or memory tricks, are particularly useful for remembering factual information like names, dates, formulas, or other information that requires rote memorization. • Tap online resources: Don’t get stuck on a problem or resigned to an ill-fated grade in a difficult class as there are powerful resources at a student’s fingertips. For example, companies like Academic Earth offer a comprehensive online collection of free video tutorials for college courses — all accessible at no cost. Other companies like OpenStudy enable Internet users to readily connect and engage with other students who are learning the same subjects at the same time — regardless of school, expertise or location — facilitating online, on-demand peer-to-peer assistance, support and other helpful interactions. • Engage in social learning: Research has found that there is a benefit to studying with friends. In one recent study from the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego, it was revealed “the higher the volume of interaction, the more likely the students were willing to exchange information in more complex ways and with greater frequency, forming ‘information cascades,’ a mechanism that spreads information from a single source to one or multiple sources.” The data showed the higher the scores of the students, the higher the percentage of their interactions that were constant. • Have a great study attitude: Think positive and focus on skills. Rather than dreading the experience, thinking positive will make the time to study easier to approach and mindshare won’t be expended on feeling resentful. In fact, “study attitudes” was identified in research as one of four pillars that “play a critical and central role in determining students’ academic performance.” In short, study time is a friend. Regard it that way, and soon enough, any student can look forward to a productive, self-fulfilled academic experience. “Ultimately, students should identify their own study preferences—what works for them on a consistent basis — and act accordingly,” Rangnekar notes. “For example, some students study better in the morning or can better focus in smaller chunks of time rather than a marathon session. Knowing exactly what does and does not work on a personal level, even tracking study patterns and correlating it with related grades, and then proactively creating a study plan and schedule around the proven effective methods, is the most powerful study tool of all.”

Savory Tomato Cobbler 1 medium-size sweet onion, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large tomato, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 pounds assorted small tomatoes, divided 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 1/2 cups self-rising soft-wheat flour (like White Lily) 1/2 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 3/4 cup (6 ounces) freshly shredded Jarlsberg cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 1 1/4 cups buttermilk Preheat oven to 375°. Sauté onion in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Add chopped tomato, garlic and 1 1/2 cups small tomatoes, and sauté 10 minutes or until tomatoes are softened. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and next 4 ingredients. Place remaining small tomatoes in a 15-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon onion mixture over tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together flour and next 2 ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Cover and chill 10 minutes. Stir cheese and next 2 ingredients into cold flour mixture. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Dollop mixture over tomatoes and continue baking until biscuit mixture is done.

Carefully swirl the oil in the skillet to coat the sides and bottom of pan add batter. Bake at 450° for 12 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely. Place corn bread into a food processor, cover and process until coarse crumbs form; set aside. Cut a 1/4-inch slice off the top of each tomato. With a spoon or melon baler, hollow out each tomato, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Discard pulp. Sprinkle salt into each tomato place upside down on paper towel for 10 minutes to drain. Crumbles chorizo into a large skillet add onion and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until meat is fully cooked. Drain. Cool slightly. In a large bowl combine the corn bread crumbs, chorizo mixture, cilantro and cumin, stir in eggs. Place tomatoes in a greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon corn bread mixture into each tomato, mounding in the center.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 teaspoons baking powder Coarse salt 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese (2 1/4 ounces) plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling 1 1/2 cups heavy cream plus more for brushing To make the filling: Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool. Toss onion mixture, tomatoes, flour and red pepper flakes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Preheat oven to 375°. To make the biscuit topping: Whisk together flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until small clumps form. Stir in cheese, and then add cream, stirring with a fork to combine until dough forms. Dough will be slightly sticky.

4 medium tomatoes, halved Olive oil Salt and pepper Parmesan 4 slices bread 4 large eggs Heat broiler. Place the tomatoes, cutside up, on a broiler proof rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Broil until tender 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Meanwhile, brush 1 side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon oil. Using a round cookie cutter or drinking glass cut a 2 1/2- or 3-inch hole in the center of each slice, reserving the cutout pieces. Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place half the bread and cutouts, oiled side up, in the skillet and cook until the undersides are crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip. Crack 1 egg into each hole. Dividing evenly, season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook. Covered to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. Transfer to plates and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with 2 teaspoon oil and the remaining bread and eggs. Serve with the tomatoes and cutouts.
