When COVID-19 pandemic is rampant all over the world, to ensure the safety of students and staff, colleges and universities have adopted the teaching methods of online teaching and online examination. For students who have not been studying abroad for a long time, they just adapted to the rhythm of their study abroad life and were disrupted by this sudden disaster. During the long period of class suspension, students all over the world must study at home. Different schools have different requirements. Some only need to complete online exercises of various subjects every day, some need to follow the progress of learning, watch the teacher's online explanation clips, and then complete the relevant homework. We can find that most students have never studied at home, so many students will not adapt to this learning method. Currently, it is very important to study at home efficiently. If the learning efficiency at home is very poor, it is very likely to lead to the decline of students' performance.
Because of the appear epidemic of COVID-19, many things have changed, and also the amount of homework will increase when we study at home. In the face of many jobs stacking, the best way is to list the tasks that need to be done in each course by using mind map, then select the coincidence parts according to the results of the drawing and assign priorities to determine the order of completion. Mind map is a very effective learning method that can quickly sort out the messy items in an organized way. In the face of a large number of course assignments and papers, we should avoid that some of the review contents coincide with the assigned reading documents. At this time, we can get twice the result with half the effort by using mind map to clarify the homework requirements of each course, and then reasonably allocate the time required for each part.
There are many advantages of studying at home, such as saving commuting time and getting an extra hour or two of sleep every morning. Learning at home can also be free to arrange learning time and learning methods. If we want to listen to music, we can play it out. If we want to discuss, we can make voice calls with our classmates at any time. We do not need to worry about disturbing others. But the randomness of studying at home is also its biggest disadvantage. Lack of school learning atmosphere and fixed class time, many people will suddenly become a lot of lazy, unable to be strict with themselves. At this time, a study group that can play an important supervisory role for each other . According to our own situation, students can find suitable friends or classmates to form a group to supervise each other. The number of people in the group should not be too large, generally about five. Each team member needs to report our daily learning plan in the group and explain today's learning progress in the evening. If the learning task is not completed on time, the team needs to develop appropriate disciplinary measures. A person's self-control is limited, but under the supervision of friends and the atmosphere of joint efforts, the efficiency of completing tasks will be greatly improved.
One of the secrets of efficient learning is to be relaxed. After learning for a period, we need to relax our body and mind, to ensure the next learning efficiency. However, due to the lack of fixed curriculum constraints in self-learning, it is easy to be lazy. During the break time, students may go to the cinema to watch a movie for two hours and take a nap for two hours. If the brain adapts to this kind of work mode with too much entertainment time, it will be difficult for us to concentrate on other tasks after the rest. A good suggestion is to take 5-10 minutes off after working for 45 minutes. We can walk around the room, stretch, and take a walk in the yard to relax our body and mind. But for the students who need to write papers, the 45-minute study time is obviously not enough. Students can make plans according to their own situation.
