Univeristy helpful tips
10:49I have been a university student now since February 2013, when I took my first module AA100 (The Arts Past and Present). My actual degree that I am undertaking is a BA (hons) Degree in Language Studies - French and English with the Open University. I am now onto my second module, L192 (Beginners French).
In the short space of time that I have been a university student I've come across some great things that help along the way such as:
A Study Guide
This amazing book by Palgrave! My last tutor suggested it to me, after I had written my reflective/self critical essay, in which I wrote about how I wanted/needed to improve my writing skills.
The book pretty much covers everything you'll need to know about university life from preparing for university to essay writting and even some maths is in there! It is an amazing book, one that I truly reconmend!
A to-do list / Diary
I used to use my phone calendar to write in important dates but now I tend not to, since I updated it to IOS7 and the calendar is totally different :/
Stickers
I love these stickers from Wilkinsons, they're great for university text books - or even your own notes when you don't want to forget something or want to remember where something is! I used them A LOT with my last module as the text books were solid text, so it helped me to find a page when trying to find quotes to back up my arguements with during assignments.
Bookmarks
I got these a while back from Waterstones as they seemed like a great idea and they really are especially for if you're reading and want to know the exact line/sentence/paragraph you finished on, just position it so that the arrow is pointing there, again it also helps to pinpoint good quotes/pages.
Sticky Notes
They can also double up as bookmarks if you fold them around the page, like I've done on my study guide (see the photo above).
