Organization

One of the most important pillars to a successful transition to college is organization. This section offers some suggestions on how you can organize your class materials. 

Managing Your Time

Did you know? For every credit hour taken, 2 hours of study time is suggested. This means that for every Arrupe class that is 3 credit hours, you should spend 6 hours a week studying for that class. That seems like a lot, but can be manage with the right tools. This section offers suggestions to better understand your schedule, priorities, and how to use the 168 hours in a week to your advantage. 

Note-taking and Reading Tips

As college students, you have 12+ years of experience taking notes and reading. You have your own methods and have an understanding of what works best for you. This section offers tips to help you extract, retain, and apply information effectively. Use this tips in combination with what you have seen works for you. 

Study Tips and Resources

Studying will look different from class to class. What works in a communication class will not necessarily work in a theology class. The goal is to find the study techniques that work for your learning style and the class content. Aim to apply 2 or 3 of these tips in each of your classes.
