Study Location Worksheet: Distraction Analysis
The place where you study will affect how much you learn, how easily you learn, and how pleasant the experience turns out to be.
Your study locations can be rated according to several important criteria. When you schedule study time, schedule your best place to study at that time too.
Having appropriate study locations picked out, either on campus or at home, will help you make the most of your time.
