Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I get bored if I study in the same place every time. I have a few places to study where I feel comfortable so I can change to whatever place fits my mood best. But - I always have what I need in my bookbag, including my laptop.

Always try to read in a comfortable place. If you read in a uncomfortable place you'll lose attention and that won't help you study. While taking notes choose a big table. I myself use a computer table with big space and shelves. Play music if it helps you to concentrate but not on high volume.

Opposite Behavior
A simple way to deal with an undesirable behavior is to request a behavior that is incompatible with the undesirable behavior. For example, if a student ignores a particular student in the class, request that he or she work with that student on a specific task that can earn each of them points toward a higher grade.
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.
