Catch What College Throws At You

Posted on Wednesday, March 4th, 2020

Managing everything that college throws at you can be tough. Here are some surefire ways to get organized, on track, and stay on top of it all.

Find your study spot

Find the spaces and places where you are most productive. Studying in front of Netflix may seem like a nice idea, but how much work are you actually going to get done? Find a spot where you will produce your best work, the most efficiently.

 

Check Brightspace often

Ensure you’re not forgetting anything by checking Brightspace often! Keeping track of multiple deadlines can be tough, so make sure you have the most up to date information on all your classes. Download the Brightspace App to make this a breeze!

Get the quick and easy out of the way

You may be inclined to leave easier or smaller tasks to the bottom of your to-do list, but finishing these first will leave you more time and focus for bigger projects. Additionally, the feeling of crossing things off you to-do list will keep you motivated.

DARE to use the library

The Algonquin College Library on the 3rd floor of the DARE District has both quiet and collaborative learning spaces, laptop loans, printing, study skills workshops, and so much more. Who knows, it may be your new favourite study space!
