studying environment and problem solving



Studying environment is this week studying topic that professor talked about.  Many classmates stated their own opinions and thoughts. I have been here Syracuse University for a while.  I am going to introduce couples of place where I studied.
First of all, library is always my first choice.  It is perfect place for me to study. However, I never study on first floor, which is extremely noisy.  I only studied on first floor in summer because there was nobody on campus.  Usually, I settle myself on 4th floor.  If I need to use computer, I will go to second floor. There are computer cluster over there. I can use computer or print out documentaries. At same time, it is very quite, more quite than the first floor.  About library, if I study over midnight, 4th floor will be closed.  After that, I will move to basement. There is a separate large room, which provides bunches of cubic desks.  It is marked quite area. Nobody talks inside.
There is another place where I study a lot. This place is in shine student center.  Shine is a very noisy place as well. However, it is only very busy at first and second floor.  Almost nobody realizes that there is a basement over there, which is super quite.  There are sofas, computers, and a printer. At same time, vending machine, studying desks and chairs are provided.  This basement is fantastic.  There is no more places better than this basement.  However, there is only one problem. This building is closed at midnight, which is annoying.
This week I was really busy.  I had two exams, and two papers were due this week.  First of all, I just narrowed my problems, which were two exams and two projects.  From my syllabus, I figured out that two exams count more percentages than my two papers.  Apparently, I paid more attention on my exam preparation than two papers.  I have to mention that those two papers were assigned from the beginning of this semester. I have already finished 90 percent part of my two papers, and I only need to make two conclusions.   After I narrowed my problems, I started to make steps prepare my exams.  I spent five nights at library this week, which started last Sunday night.  Actually I did not even the time for my each test because one of my courses is statistic, which is pretty easy for me.  I only spent less than 1 hour to prepare my statistic exam totally.  I spent most of time on my linguistic exam because I have many pages of reading to do.  During one night, I spent my time for two papers, which had 10 percent to finish.  That was what I did this week for my studying.

  1. Sounds like a great way to get your work done. I have to admit, I didn't even know about the basement in the Schine Student Center and this is my second year here. Solid work on the papers too.
