Learning & Studying: Choose a method that works for you

Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method designed to improve focus and productivity by working in short, structured intervals with regular breaks. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer (“pomodoro” means tomato in Italian) that he used.

How it works:

Step	Description
Pick a Task	Choose one task to focus on — big or small — and commit your full attention.
Set a 25-Minute Timer	Promise yourself you’ll work for 25 minutes straight with no distractions.
Work Until the Timer Rings	Stay focused! If something else comes to mind, jot it down and refocus.
Mark Your Progress	When the timer rings, celebrate your focus — that’s one Pomodoro completed!
Take a Short Break (5 Minutes)	Stretch, grab a snack, or step away from your desk to recharge.
After 4 Pomodoros, Take a Longer Break (20–30 Minutes)	Give your brain time to rest before you dive back in.

Bear Tip: Small bursts of focus create big results — one Pomodoro at a time!

Distributive Learning Technique

Study smarter — not harder!

Distributed learning (also called spaced learning or spaced practice) means spreading your study sessions out over time instead of cramming everything in at once.

By reviewing material multiple times with breaks in between, your brain has time to process and store information more effectively.

Strengthens long-term memory
Prevents mental overload and fatigue
Improves focus and recall
Encourages deeper understanding
Helps you retain information for exams and real-world use

How it works:

Step	Description
Plan Ahead	Break your study material into smaller chunks.
Study in Short Sessions	20–30 minutes per topic is plenty!
Review Regularly	Revisit what you’ve learned over several days or weeks.
Mix It Up	Use flashcards, quizzes, summaries, or teach others.
Track Your Progress	Note which topics need more review and improvement.

Bear Tip: Spacing your study sessions helps your brain learn smarter, not harder!

Example:

Let’s say you are in Biology. You crammed for your first two tests, and earned a B and a C on them. Now it is time for the mid-term exam, and when you go back and look at those first two tests, there are a lot of terms that you don’t remember at all. You realize that you won’t be able to cram for the mid-term.

So what could you do to prepare?

The 2:1 Study Method

Have you ever wondered how much time you should spend studying for the week?

The 2:1 Study Method is one way to help you figure out your study time.

Look at the total number of credit hours you are taking for the semester. Multiply the total number of credit hours by 2. That is the amount of hours you should spend studying for the week.

Example:

John is taking the following:

BIOL101 INTRO BIOLOGY I- 4 credits
COMM203 MEDIA LTRCY IN A DIV WRLD- 3 credits
ECON211 PRIN OF ECONOMICS I- 3 credits
ENGL102 COMPOSITION II- 3 credits
HLTH200 DISCOVERING PUBLIC HEALTH- 3 credits

John is taking a total of 16 credits for the semester.

Multiply 16 credits by 2 to get 36. This means John should spend 36 hours a week studying.

Did you wait a week before the exam to start studying? If so, take a look at this video for tips on how to gain the most out of studying within a 5 day period.

What Are Learning Styles?

Learning styles describe how you best take in, process, and remember information.
Knowing your learning style helps you study smarter, improve focus, and retain information more effectively.
Most people are a mix of all three styles but tend to have one that’s strongest.

College Student Learning Styles: Study Tips for Success

Learning Style	Description	Study Tips & Strategies
Auditory Learners	Learn best by hearing information, discussions, and verbal explanations.	• Read notes out loud. • Join or record study groups. • Use rhymes or songs to memorize facts. • Explain concepts to someone else. • Attend lectures and participate actively.
Visual Learners	Learn best by seeing and visualizing information.	• Use diagrams, charts, and color-coded notes. • Highlight key points in different colors. • Watch videos or draw mind maps. • Sit near the front in class. • Organize notes with headings and visuals.
Kinesthetic Learners	Learn best through hands-on experiences and movement.	• Take short study breaks to move around. • Use flashcards or physical models. • Write and rewrite key information. • Study while walking or pacing. • Participate in labs or practical activities.

Note-Taking Strategies

Knowing how to concentrate is more important than you may think:

Taking notes keeps your mind active and engaged during class. Instead of passively listening, you’re processing, organizing, and summarizing what’s being said — which helps you stay alert, memorize, understand material more deeply. Writing things down helps you listen with purpose.

Tip 1: Take more notes than you think you need! Take notes on the following

Tip 2: Use the SOARS process when determining what information is important to write down:

Tip 3: Use abbreviations and symbols that you will recognize and remember

Abbreviations are a great way to take notes faster. Many of us do this when we send text messages. We use the letter R instead of typing our A-R-E. Or we don’t type the vowels in a word. You can use these same abbreviations when you take notes. Just be sure to write in your notes somewhere what your abbreviations stand for. This is especially important when you make up abbreviations during class.

Look at these notes. What are the abbreviations you see? What do they mean? Let’s start at the top of the page.

Aka means also known as and indicates a name change. So these notes mean the countries that we call Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey are what used to be called Mesopotamia. And that Mesopotamia used to be known as Babylonia, Sumer, and Akkadia
You see the two times in these notes. The triangle means change or transform.
b/c means because
rvrs means rivers
imp means important
rlgn means religion
the + sign means and or plus.

Tip 4: Do something with your notes

Tip 5: Find which note-taking method is right for you

Cornell Method

Outline Method

Mapping Method

Charting Method

Sentence Method

Reading Strategies

Why reading in college is different?

College reading requires more critical thinking, focus, and analysis than high school reading. You’re

expected to understand the author’s ideas, evaluate arguments, and connect readings to course

discussions or assignments.

- You’re not just reading for information — you’re reading for understanding and insight.

Reading in College

Topic	Key Points
Active Reading Strategies	• Preview material before reading (headings, summaries, bold terms). • Annotate and highlight main ideas. • Ask questions as you read. • Summarize key points after each section. • Take short breaks to maintain focus.
Manage Your Reading Load	• Prioritize readings based on deadlines and importance. • Schedule consistent reading time each day. • Use a study method (Pomodoro, Distributed Practice, or 2:1 Method) and remember to take breaks • Join a study group to discuss key ideas.
Read for Deeper Understanding	• Connect readings to lectures and assignments. • Look up unfamiliar terms. • Compare different sources and perspectives.
Campus Resources for Help	• Tutoring Centers – help with comprehension and study skills. • Success Coaches – support for reading strategies and study habits. • Library Services – access to research tools and quiet study areas.

Bear Tip: Read actively, take notes, and connect ideas — that’s how college reading turns into learning!

Tip 1: Prepare yourself and your space when reading:

Different types of textbook and reading assignments require different environments. You wouldn’t read a textbook the same way you would read a novel or a cookbook.

How should you prepare yourself to read a textbook?

Plan to read short sections rather than multiple chapters.
Read at a time of day when you aren’t tired.
Set an intention like reading for 30 minutes straight or reading 15 pages.
Eat a healthy snack and avoid sugary, caffeinated drinks.
Be comfortable but not too comfortable that you fall asleep.

Tip 2: Survey the chapters and make notes:

When you first open your textbook to read an assigned chapter, you should first SURVEY the chapter. This means flip through the pages and make some initial mental notes, such as how long the chapter is, and if there are review questions or a summary at the end of the chapter. Then follow these steps to begin to think critically about what’s in the chapter:

Tip 3: Annotate as you read:

After you prepare to read and then survey your assigned reading, you finally get to read the text. As you read, you should annotate or take notes while you read. It is best to annotate in your text, but you can also annotate in your notebook.

Annotations that use pictures and some words:

Annotations that use words

Tip 4: Review what was read:

After you finish reading an assigned chapter or article, you aren’t finished with it. You should regularly review what you’ve read to keep the ideas fresh in your mind. What can you do to review a chapter?

Here are some review activities you can try:

Tip 5: Be careful of highlighting and underlining:

Highlighting and underlining are passive reading techniques. To read actively, you need to interact with the text.

If you want to highlight and underline, then you should annotate in your textbook or write notes on what you highlighted and underlined.

Testing-Taking Strategies

General test/exam-taking tips:

Create study tools and recite/ recreate them from memory. Try creating a study guide, flashcards, chart, table, or outline.
Create self-tests and take them. Predict test questions or essay questions to create your own self-test. You can also answer sample questions from your textbook.
Teach someone else. Review material with a partner or study group. Be sure to explain/ teach material out loud to group members.

College Test & Exam Tips

Category	Key Strategies
Before the Test/Exam	• Study 45–60 minutes daily (with breaks) at least a week before. • Ask what the test covers and how it’s organized. • Use notes and textbooks to make a study guide. • Write sample essay questions to review. • Visualize success.
During the Test/Exam	• Write down what you know before starting. • Scan the test and plan your time. • Read directions carefully. • Answer easy questions first; guess if unsure. • Underline key terms. • Don’t rush—use all your time. • Check answers before submitting.
After the Test/Exam	• Ask for feedback on unclear questions. • Review and correct mistakes. • Reflect on what worked and what didn’t. • Compare your answers with your study materials. • Reward yourself for effort!

Bear Tip: Prepare early, stay calm, and learn from every test — success builds one exam at a time!

Concentration is Key

Knowing how to concentrate is more important than you may think:

When students concentrate deeply, they process information more effectively. Focus allows the brain to store and recall material during exams, discussions, and assignments.

College Student Tips for Concentration

Time Management In College

Managing your time wisely:

Creating a clear plan and beginning your preparation early can make mid-terms and final exams much less overwhelming. Consider forming study groups and choosing a quiet, productive workspace to boost your efficiency. Along the way, use study tools like guides, flashcards.

Time Management & Studying

College brings freedom — but also responsibility. Managing your time well helps you balance classes, studying, work, and personal life. Good time management reduces stress, prevents last-minute cramming, and improves grades and overall well-being.

Don’t overload your memory

Instead of trying to remember everything at once, make a to-do list and highlight the most important tasks first. Prioritizing helps you stay focused on what truly matters.

Get organized and plan ahead

Use a planner or digital calendar to keep track of deadlines and study sessions. Tools like a 'quarter-at-a-glance' or 'time finder' can help you visualize your schedule and manage your time better.

Cut out distractions

Limit anything that pulls your attention away from studying — like your phone, TV, or streaming apps. The fewer distractions, the easier it is to stay productive.

Don’t cram — plan

Avoid last-minute studying by creating a structured study schedule. Include details like when, where, and what you’ll study each day, plus the methods you’ll use. Sticking to your plan keeps you on track and reduces stress.

Learn to say “no”

When exams are coming up, it’s okay to turn down extra commitments. Protect your time and energy so you can focus on preparing effectively.

Bear in mind: Good organization and time management are the keys to success!
