This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UW Stout chapter.
Here are some tips for taking notes and studying for finals from an art student! (So take my tips with a grain of salt.)
- Write Your Notes On Paper
-
I find that I remember my notes better when I write them down rather than on the computer.
- Highlight Key Terms and Important Information
-
Without the highlighter, you have no way of knowing what is what.
- Eat Something!
-
Snacks are a great way to take a short break from studying, and you will be able to focus better with a full stomach.
- Sleep
-
With a good amount of sleep, your brain is prepared to study for hours! A well rested brain is a productive brain!
- Make Flashcards
-
If you have time, make flashcards of diagrams you need to remember, or definitions of key terms.
- Watch Youtube Videos
-
If you are confused about anything, there are a lot of videos on Youtube!
Good luck on finals! You’ve got this!
