Hello!  I'm guessing that since you're here, you're hoping to learn some study tips so I won't disappoint you!  Kero just informed that he wanted to learn a couple of tips as well so, if you don't mind, he's going to sit in with us.  Are you ready Kero? 

  Ready!

Okay good!  But before we get started, let me begin by saying that these are study tips which, like advice, you should only use the ones that help you and throw the rest the wind.  So, if you read these study tips and find a couple that works for you, great!  If you don't, that's fine too!  It won't hurt my feelings.  Just close this browser and spend the rest of your time looking up stuff that interests you such as dancing cows.   What would make me upset, however, if is someone said that these tips don't work, period, because while they might not work for you, they might work for someone else.  They worked for me.  Methods for studying are as unique for every person since we all learn differently.  Therefore, my goal is to hopefully add another ingredient to your recipe for academic success.

I'm sure you are very tired of seeing the old Section 1.1 and so on that textbooks are fond of using so it is with great regret that I say that I've decided to split this page those same dreaded sections.  I deeply apologize, but I think it will make this page easier to navigate around.  The sections will divided as such (to go through all the links in successive order, click on Kero at the bottom of this page):

Section 1: Study Tips introduction

• Section 1.1: University Study Tips Myths Vs. Reality

• Section 1.2: Before class even begins: organizing

• Section 1.3: Thoughts on time management and classes

• Section 1.4: Taking notes

• Section 1.5: Reading the textbook...well, sort of...

• Section 1.6: Understanding your professor

• Section 1.7: Preparing for those dreaded exams

Section 2: Tips toward success in a few classes

• Section 2.1: English essays and your professor

• Section 2.2: Philosophy

• Section 2.3: Calculus

• Section 2.4: Physics

So, now that you have your topics, are you ready to begin?  Again, like the poetry and fiction page, at the end of each section, Kero will reappear to ask you where you would like to go next section, back to the previous section, or back here.  Won't you Kero?

  I'm awake, I promise!!

Oh, Keeeero....Well, if he falls asleep again *throwing nasty look in Kero's direction*, remember that you always have the menu option at the top of each page.  Just click on the icon to access the menu.  If you can't remember how to work the menu, click the Utena button at the bottom of the page to restart the Kero tour.  Or, if you've had enough of school and studying and want to run away screaming for help, click on the Utena button at the bottom of each page.  Well, enough of my rambling, let's begin!  Click on Kero to start! 

*sigh*  Well, click on him anyway.  That should wake him up, and he'll take you to the intro.

Why in the world am I here?
