COLUMNS: Study Tips!

By Samiksha Mehta – Entertainment Editor

In this monthly column, members of The Advocate staff will ask Law students how they prefer to study.

Emily Genova – Junior

“It really depends on what kind of thing I’m studying for. Like, if it’s a quiz or a chapter test, I’ll study on my own; I’ll review my notes or I’ll ask my brother if he could help. But if it’s for like unit tests or any big exam, I usually like to study with friends so they can help me understand anything I don’t get.”

Lexia Burton – Junior

“I usually study last minute and look at the concept over and over until I can answer that part in seconds.”

Katherine Ayala – Junior

“I don’t think it’s rocket science. You just study once a day every day and just make sure you do all your work and practice. It seems like a lot but if you do a little bit every day it’s not that bad.”

Vaughn Weston – Junior

“I like to listen to music while skimming through the things I need to know. My biggest piece of advice is to pay the most attention during class.”

Alexis Rios – Junior

“I like to do my work pretty much right after school. If I get work that day, I like to get it done that day. I write all of my homework down so I won’t forget about it. And for studying, I like to use flashcards and study with friends. Also, I try not to procrastinate but sometimes I still do.”

Katherine Allen – Junior

“I usually prefer to study at home because sometimes it gets too loud during study periods. I just go over the content as much as I can until the quiz or whatever it is I’m studying for comes up. It’s the method that helps me remember by repeating it even though it’s simple.”
