How To Make The Most Of Your Night Class by lomaxx: 8:56pm On Aug 19, 2014 |
University Students survive with evening and night class. On the grand scale of unending lecture hours, a busy social life and extra-curricular commitments, one can always fall back on this time-proven strategy to buck his/her CGPA up to maximum reality. To ensure that you don't attend evening/night classes in vain, be careful to apply the following: 1) ARRIVE ON TIME Arriving for a night class by 11pm or for an evening class by 9pm (to retire to your hostel by 10pm) isnt a smart way to study in those circumstances. By the time you must have spent 20 minutes settling in, choosing a good spot and aligning your mind to the task ahead, you must have used a good chunk of time for preliminaries. Arrive at a very good time - the earliest time possible. You will achieve much and still have sufficient time for good rest. 2) CHOOSE A WELL-LIGHTED AREA The amount of light in a study area (especially at evenings and nights) is directly proportional to ease of study, interest in the study material, and overall concentration for the time invested in study. Studying in a well-lit area keeps your mind alert and increases your brain absorptive capacity per time. 3) HAVE A SHORT-TERM GOAL If you must sacrifice useful sleep time to make up for unattended academic work, you need a goal for that period of time. Short-term goals keeps you focused on the target, aligns your priority for that brief moment on the subject matter and comprehensively affords you the luxury of celebrating achievement for that brief moment. A popular maxim goes, "he who fails to plan, plans to fail" 4) DELETE DISTRACTIONS Between study time, social networks, meaningless chats from passersby, unending phone calls and staring at pretty girls in class, time isn't a luxury you afford right now. The main reason you embarked on a night class is because you were short-changed on time. Wisdom demands that you use that time wisely to accomplish the goals you set out for. So unless you have an emergency to attend to soon, switch off your phones, stay off social media, keep greetings short and make ample use of short time. 5) STUDY SMART Adapt study techniques that are beneficial to the time involved and study goals to be achieved. This is not time to impress yourself with pages of heavy study material. Your study target should be to amass points and knowledge of what you need to know- a course outline highlighting what you need to know at the end of a subject should come in handy here. Also, attending classes unfailingly enables you to study smart. Unlike those who didn't, you don't need to go over the whole material. You focus on what the lecturer taught in class. Remember- studying smart is key. 6) REVERSE YOUR ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULE Doing assignments during a study time in night class isn't the best ways to invest your time. Try to invest available time during the day to do your assignments, term papers and seminars. Co-habitating study and assignments within microscopic time in on the all-time overbearing for efficiency and productivity. 7) EAT A LIGHT DINNER Loading yourself with Fufu and Afang just before you go for your night class would not make your study more efficient. It is counter-productive by all standards. It will make you dull, heavy and resistant to mental flexibility. 8.) BRING SNACKS You need to be high in energy to pull a night class successfully. Your brain consumes the most energy in your body and you shouldn't be surprised if you begin to get hungry soon. Snacks come in handy to build up your energy to optimum levels ensuring it lasts you the entire study period. 9) DON'T ENGAGE IN HEAVY EXERCISE JUST BEFORE THEN If you must burn some fat, or add some muscle or keep fit with exercise, few hours to your night class is not the best time to pull this through. Engaging in heavy exercise just before night class will build up lactic acid in your circulation and cause muscle fatigue. 10) ENSURE YOU ARE WELL COVERED Cold, and mosquitoes are sufficient indications for proper self covering during a night class. You don't want to be distracted by mosquitoes bites at random body parts or the cold trying to permeate your skin. This serves the purpose of keeping your focus on the study material and enabling you to achieve the goal you initially set out for. I wish you good success in all your endeavours.

You forgot to include a basic and important point. SLEEP!! A 30mins to 1hr sleep would do you no harm but benefits! After a stressful day you just can't head out to night class, you'd be useless! For me, as long as I haven't hit the 8:30p.m deadline, I make sure I sleep to my content, mostly a 30mins nap and then watch me go till 12-1a.m. The Brain needs rest! Reading is all about your Brain... and maybe your stomach (I most times run out on snacks, painful). Thanks 2 Likes |

Well, its always sweeter when exam is fast approaching because many unserious students would have been serious by then. But if you say you are going for night class at the early days of the semester, you'll deceive yourself big time which will just leave you with no choice but to read at home. |
