Being well organised and developing time management skills is an important aspect of university study.
Studying at university often involves less direct supervision and monitoring of individual students. You will responsible for your own progress, which will require you to develop good time management skills and become an independent learner.
Learning in a degree level environment involves attending lectures, tutorials and seminars. There may also be lab and practical work or compulsory practice placements as a requirement of certain courses. Class sizes are often bigger so students receive less individual attention than at school or college.
Degree courses are structured in a way that often means that students may face periods of heavy workload for assessments. This is often due to several coursework deadlines in the same month or in a two week period, usually at the end of term. Exams are timetabled at the end of term resulting in more work at this time of the year whilst studying for exams and finishing final courseworks.
Given the way workload is scheduled at degree level and the fact that learners are responsible for their own studies, the challenge for students is organising their time effectively to deliver assessments that will help achieve good grades.
