QM Elevate: tips for building good habits
Tip 1: Build a regular study routine
Attend your classes, check QMplus regularly and keep up with weekly tasks. A good routine can make your workload more manageable, help you stay on track and boost your confidence throughout the semester.
Tip 2: Read beyond the lecture slides
Keep up with your module reading and explore recommended resources. Reading regularly will deepen your subject knowledge, help you make connections between different ideas and develop your critical thinking.
Tip 3: Develop your academic voice
University is not just about learning new ideas, but also about developing and communicating your own. Take part in discussions, ask questions and practise expressing your ideas and arguments clearly and confidently.
