Why Students Need Homework Help Early in the School Year

This school year is off to a roaring start and you may have already discovered you are in need of homework help. The amount of help necessary likely depends on your class load, coursework, and learning in previous courses. Do your upcoming projects and exams seem overwhelming? Are you unsure about the best ways to study for this year's courses? Don't let these valuable early days of the school year slip by without asking for the support you need now.

Seeking out necessary homework help early in the school year will:

  • Boost your confidence in your academic ability and help you tackle challenging coursework.
  • Help you master the fundamentals of this year's coursework.
  • Keep you from slipping behind as the term progresses.
  • Reinforce important study habits that help you succeed in school.

Developing strong study habits is important to completing homework and maximizing your learning. If your study habits are in need of refinement consider these effective tips for completing homework and boosting study skills.

  • Don't be surprisedTake the time early in the school year to make a master list of all course requirements. Seeing all of these requirements together in one place allows you the time to plan ahead. You may have a very slow week with very few assignments, projects, or exams but the next week may be packed. Writing out a master list or devising a master calendar will prevent     homework and course requirements from sneaking up on you.
  • Stick to a scheduleA study schedule is an excellent tool to keep you on track and ensure you have plenty of time to complete your homework and course requirements. Evaluate your home, school, and extra-curricular commitments and find time to devote to studying. Reserve these times in your weekly schedule and if an unforeseen conflict pops up reschedule the study session.
  • Make a weekly to-do listBefore each week begins make a list of the week's work. Plan out when you are going to study, complete projects, and finish homework. Keep the to-do list handy so you can check things off as they are completed. Sticking to this weekly to-do list keeps you on track and helps ensure all of your work is completed on time.
  • Put your skills to workThink about everything you've already learned in previous courses. You've likely mastered important skills and knowledge that are essential to this year's learning. When you are facing the challenge of new courses it is essential to put your previously mastered skills to good use. Note-taking, outlining, and reference skills are just a few of the important study skills that are effective across a variety of subject areas. If you find you need help with your study skills the staff at Huntington Learning Centers can help. We've devised a study skills tutoring curriculum that reinforces these essential study habits while meeting students' individual needs.
  • Prepare a spaceWhere do you study best? At the kitchen table? In your room? At the library? Regardless of where you choose to study the space should be prepared to meet your homework needs. Is the lighting adequate? Do you have access to important materials? Are you able to focus without distraction? Take inventory of the space you are studying in and make the changes necessary to help you focus and complete your best work.
