Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
If you take notes on loose-leaf sheets of paper, be sure to number each page at the top right. This way you can always keeep them in the right order. I dropped my notes once, so I learned the hard way to number the pages.

I always try to study regularly, i.e., I study when I schedule my study time. This helps me to make studying a habit. It really feels bad if I fail to accomplish something at the time I have scheduled to do it.

Having Materials Ready
Be proactive by placing all materials and supplies students need to do their work in bins that are easily accessible to them. Lessons can be disrupted if you have to continually stop to provide one or more students with the supplies and materials they need for the lesson or assignment.
Seat Students at Tables
I seat my students in groups of four or five at tables. This allows students to face each other and interact in positive ways. Students can work together in a cooperative manner. Also, it is easier for me to manage their behavior since I have to monitor several groups rather than twenty-five to thirty students.
