Study Skills Inventory with written reaction/plan

     I took a study inventory this week , and the inventory shows that I am lack of studying skills. I think the reason is resulted from my reluctance to study.  I can’t be focus enough on things I should do. Instead, I looked up my textbook, sitting in front of my desk; always think of something else other than studying. My studying skill is inefficient and deficient.

     The inventory result tells me that I should look upon the seriousness of studying inefficiently. Because of the inefficiency, I always stay up late or turn in homework late. It’s not only hurt my grades but also my health. I wrote plans done but found it unhelpful. I couldn’t even follow what I wrote down, always living behind plans. I really want to improve my reading skill and focus level, so that I can spend less time but do more things. First, I wrote down a motto in front of my desk so that I can constantly remind myself to be ambitious. Second, know the rule and find a way. I read syllabus again and tried to figure out what kind of teaching style my professor use.   Also, I learned how to take notes. I will keep taking notes because I believe that it enhance our familiarity with materials which we were learning for. Last but not least, I will learn the skill of highlighting, which will save time for me next time when I read the textbook.
