    “Study Skills”

    1. Why do you have to acquire these supporting methods or study skills?

    Study is defined as the “devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an


    academic subject, especially by means of books (Oxford Dictionaries). My personal definition of
    study is a combination of application and learning. To study is to devote time and energy or
    attention to gain an understanding and knowledge of a subject. Therefore, study skills are set of
    strategies used to acquire and gain knowledge about a certain topic. When we possess these
    skills or strategies, we are able to increase our efficiency in learning. We are also able to
    increase our long term memory for future use. Learning is a constant process and a lifelong skill
    that one need to master in order to have a positive impact in our lives and to be successful.
    When we know what motivates us to learn, how we learn a certain thing, the strategies we use
    and have a better sense of ourselves then we will become more successful.

    2. What is your personal mnemonic method used when studying?

    Mnemonic devices are strategies or techniques a person use to be able to improve his
    ability and memory to remember something. In short, it is a memory technique to help the brain
    better encode and recall information. Generally, words are used with this technique such as
    poems, rhymes, acronyms and other forms of literary that suits a person. Personally, I find
    mnemonics helpful and essential whenever I study because it is not new to me. I have been
    using this strategy even before especially back in my elementary days. What I always do first is
    to take the first letter of the word or phrase and then write it down. Next is, I repeat the letters all
    over again and make either a funny sound of it altogether or make a song out of the letters so
    that I can remember all the things I wrote down. Lastly is, I practice reciting my “masterpiece”
    until I was able to memorize all of it. However, I don’t find it necessary anymore since I
    discovered that mnemonics are just temporary way of memorizing what I have read. Now that I
    am a college student, I now know that the most effective way of studying concepts and lessons
    is to understand the teachings fully. By doing this, wherever I go, I can be able to elaborate and
    explain my thoughts without even memorizing each words and phrases.
    3. How do you organize your online handouts and when do you use it?

    My mom taught me to be organized when I was young so that I will always be guided not
    only in academics but in all aspects of life. Since I was used to multitask and have a hectic
    schedule due to my extra-curricular, organizing my stuff helps me be guided with the things that
    I need to do and helps me finish all tasks easily. The first thing that I do whenever I organize my
    handouts may it be online or paper files is, I usually sort it by subject or category so that my files
    won’t be messy. I often label my folders depending on the different subjects or categories I
    have. Next is, I always plan ahead depending on the most urgent things to do based on my
    schedule. Next is, I divide my tasks a day so that each day, I will be able to accomplish my
    tasks on my schedule. Lastly, I end my day with a positive vibe and note so that I will be
    motivated the next academic day.
