Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I have tried for years to get every single thing down on paper...DONT DO THAT!! If your notes are from a reading of some sort, read it beforehand for the major points. Use abbreviations that you will understand. Then after class, rewrite them so you know what the abbreviations stand for.

If you are studying late, I would either go to bed so you dont forget anything, or drink something to stay awake. Also, keep active if you are getting tired. Make sure you know your studying material forwards and backwards.

Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
Watch for Boredom
Be alert for signs that your students are become bored. Examples of boredom are fidgeting, looking around the room, slumping in the seat, closing the book, and similar behaviors. Break into boredom by asking a question or making a surprise announcement.
