Cramming no help on finals
Not only Christmas bells are ringing in the ears of KU students as the holidays approach. Many student dreams are laced with the words of English poet John Gay: "Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil o'er books consumed the midnight oil?"
For a prelude to vacation fun is testing time—and, within two weeks after the Christmas break, final examinations are due.
Those students who have whiled away the autumn hours will have their academic problems, according to a KU psychologist and the head of a study skills laboratory. They say that "cramming" doesn't help.
Cramming confuses
"A mass of facts obtained in a short period of time causes retroactive inhibition," said Charles Neuringer, associate professor of psychology. "And this only confuses the student."
"The problem is motivation," he explained. Studying is not pleasurable; it causes pain and sacrifice. A student must train himself to motivation."
Although study habits vary for each student, psychologists have found that the reward system is most profitable. For example, after every hour of concentration the student can reward himself with a cigarette or some food. This system gives motivation and also allows spaced study breaks.
But a student's study habits cannot always be improved by supplying motivation.
"Factors" interfere
"Vietnam, sex, money and family can interfere with a student's ability to put two and two together." Neuringer said.
Ted R. Garten, head of the reading and study skills laboratory at KU, offers some tips for repentant scholars. Most students with study problems "haven't accepted school as a responsibility," he says, and they fail to make the best use of time.
Two hours per hour
So, rule number one is to try to allow two hours of study for every hour of class. For the average student, this still would leave most evenings and weekends free.
Secondly, Garten suggests mentally outlining an instructor's lecture. In this way, the student can learn to recognize the key points and assemble an outline for his notes. The first and last parts of a lecture are often the most important, Garten said, because the instructor introduces and concludes his material in those portions.
Other suggestions -gather up the courage to talk about problems with instructors and begin to prepare for exams early by surveying, reading and reviewing the material.
