十條建議讓你的大學(xué)生活不后悔(2)

　　5. Triage ruthlessly。

　　有所取舍

　　You don't need to put an equal amount of effort into every class.  Inject extra effort when it's important to you, but feel free to back off a little from classes that are a low priority based on your specific goals。

　　你無須對每一個課程都付出同樣的努力。重要的課程可以多加把勁，但對于那些對你的目標(biāo)無足輕重的課程可以松懈一點。

　　6. Get an early start to each day。

　　一天之計在于晨

　　Getting an early start each day helped you get a lot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day。

　　每天早起對你益處很多，不僅僅是早晨而是一整天。

　　7. Reclaim wasted time during your classes。

　　充分利用課堂時間

　　Not every class is going to require your utmost concentration. Sometimes teachers babble.  Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. If a class is really challenging, sit in the front and soak up every word.  But if a class isn't challenging you, then sit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there's anything worth jotting down。

　　不是每一節(jié)課都需要你全神貫注。有時老師只是在東扯西拉，有時只是在重復(fù)你已經(jīng)知道的東西。如果這節(jié)課很有意思，那么坐在前面，仔細(xì)聽每一個字。如果很無聊，那么坐在后面完成其它學(xué)科的家庭作業(yè)吧。當(dāng)然，每隔一會要抬頭聽聽是不是有什么值得記下來。

　　8. Learn material the very first time it's presented。

　　拒絕重復(fù)學(xué)習(xí)

　　One of the biggest time wasters in school is having to relearn something you didn't learn properly the first time.  When students say they're studying, most of the time they're making up for a previous failure to learn the material。

　　學(xué)校里最大的一個時間浪費就是不斷重新學(xué)習(xí)你在第一次沒有完全掌握的東西。學(xué)生們說他們在學(xué)習(xí)時大部分的時間都是在重復(fù)以前的錯誤。

　　9. Master advanced memory techniques。

　　科學(xué)記憶

　　One of the keys to learning material the first time is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. I don't recommend memorizing by repetition because it's way too slow。

　　學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵之一就是掌握科學(xué)的記憶方法。不推薦重復(fù)記憶，因為太沒有效率了。

　　10. Have some serious fun!

　　享受生活 

　　Challenge yourself academically, but give yourself plenty of time for fun as well.  Don't squander your leisure time hanging around doing nothing。

　　學(xué)業(yè)上要努力，但也要給自己充足的娛樂時間。別在業(yè)余時間無所事事。
