Study Strategies
Most people study inefficiently. This is mainly because they never really learned how to study the right way, even after years of university in some cases! In this chapter, we will show you some of the most important strategies for learning in a much more time-efficient way.
📅 Planning
The first part of studying should be to make a study plan. Your homework will consist of various components:
Live interaction in the classes with your teachers
Homework & Projects - where you apply what you learned
Homework & Projects: Homework & projects take most of your time each week. Depending on your course, it can be between 10 - 15 hours! Break down your homework & project milestones into smaller, manageable tasks and allocate time for each. Start working on assignments early rather than waiting until the deadline approaches.
read/watch a certain amount of information (watch class recordings, read further articles)
apply this knowledge in the homework exercises
prepare questions for the next session
Planning helps to allocate time to coding. Remember, you are in charge of your learning journey!
❔Ask Questions!
Many students find it hard to ask questions during the classes and online (through Slack or otherwise). However, becoming a good programmer means you dare to ask many questions. Some companies even have a rule: If you are stuck, you have one hour to solve the problem. If you cannot, you have to ask for help. At ReDI School, there are several ways to ask for help:
Ask your classmate or a student from your course
Ask in Slack (preferably in your classroom channel)
Approach a teacher during breaks or through Slack in a group
Ask ReDI staff to connect you to a graduate or teacher
