Study Tips on How to Study for Computer Information Technology

Don't procrastinate
Don't procrastinate studying, don't procrastinate completing projects, and don't procrastinate
studying for exams. If you have any inclination to procrastinate, you may want to consider a different
field of study. Procrastinating is the worst possible thing you can do in a ICT or programming class.
When you receive an assignment or project, get started on it right away. That way, if you don't
understand the logic or can't figure out an error, you'll have time to get help from your instructor or
someone else.

Study on time
As we already pointed out, procrastination doesn't work when it comes to studying ICT. The same
holds true for cramming. All-nighters the day before a deadline, whether it be for a project or exam,
will not work. Much of the work you'll complete as a ICT student will be practical in nature. It will
require thought, energy, problem solving and time. If you attempt to stay up all night the day before
a deadline, you'll get tired, your code won't work, or you'll end up failing your exam the next day. ICT
is a field of study where it's imperative that you stay on top of things and keep working throughout
the entire semester. It's not to say you need to spend every waking moment studying ICT. It is to say
that you need to study consistently throughout the year.

Work in Group
It's important to be self motivated and have the ability to work independently, but it's just as
important to be able to work as part of a team. Learning to study in a group and work with a team is
essential. Studying with a group as you pursue an education in ICT offers a lot of benefits. One of the
biggest benefits is that it will teach you how to work as part of a team and to be a team player. Once
you graduate and enter the workplace, it's more than likely you'll work as a member of a team.
Working with a team takes skills and it will require you to share the "awesome" ideas and the code
you've written with others, but it's necessary. Your code and ideas are not always going to be right
and working in a team can help you improve.

Other benefits of forming a study group and working with a team while studying ICT include:

 ability to cover more material

 share knowledge and talents with one another
 improve notes
 more effectively study for exams
 get help with difficult concepts
 review each other's code for errors
 make learning fun

Use Sources
Don't throw in the towel the first time you get stumped or hit a road block. There is a plethora of
resources for help learning ICT. In this day and age of the world wide web, the Internet provides
thousands of online resources from forums to tutorials to virtual tutors that can help you work
through even the most challenging ICT problems. So, don't despair. The next time you have a ICT
problem that is giving your trouble, just "Google" it. Google is your friend and is a great resource for
finding information and resources that can help you work through ICT problems.
