my plans to avoid burning the midnight oils????.........
well......my previous teacher used to advise me to make a piece of notes that contains of important points of subject only. it is important for us to remember what we have study as we keep looking at it always.
secondly, by waking up early in the morning as our brains are fully fresh and available to memorise points.moreover, early in the morning, it is most calmly than other times.we could hardly memorise points at the afternoon because it is too hot and it distracts our concentration.
last but not list, to avoid myself from burning the midnight oils, i must start from the beginning. do not delay what you can do today to tomorrow. because we do not know what could be happen tomorrow.yesterday was history, today is a gift, tomorrow is surprise..........:)

burn the midnight oil???
emmm,,yeah i'm sure every student may have this situation..also me...but not to practise for this kind of attitude,,hehehe...
for me,plan to avoid from burning the midnight oil firstly,i'm agree with the task that i have read states that student should have time management.It's the key to be success..Therefore,we also must have 'cute' notes(i mean short notes)that we can carry and read it everywhere..Besides, we also must have group discussion to get more understanding and solves for confusing...So, we doesn't burning the midnight oil anymore...study smart,do not study hard...best of luck to all of u for coming final exam...

After I read the article 'why burn the midnight oil?’, I realize that sometimes I'm one of the student that doing last minute studying or completing task. I know that many students also doing that too. I don't think that last minute studying is suitable for all students because some student couldn't catch up the study while them studying in hurry. Besides, it will causing students experience blackout during exam due to lack of sleep.
I think that for smart student, we need having plan to study, this helps us to divide our time to study besides other activity such as exercise and rest. For human, concentrate on something can't more than 45 minutes at a stretch, time management help us to avoid this situation and bring us continuous our study in a fresh condition. Besides, if you just plan but no take it in action also useless. We must set deadlines for the plan to force us to follow it, this helps to make the plan keep going with time.

why burn the midnight oil? well as a student, it;s a common thing happens among us. why would I say so because as a university student, we have a lot of task to be completed and sometimes we don't have time to do revision. but it's not an excuse for studying or do revision last minutes. it's all up to us. our aimed is to pass the exam with flying colors. so, plans for not burning the midnight oil is to focused more in the class. yes we don't have enough time to study back in our room so for me, paying attention in lecture would be very helpful. instead of that just like in the reading entry, make ourselves a study timetable and organize our work. but it is important to strictly fllow the timetable. so we don't have to burn the midnight oil. well there's a phrases said that 'where there's a will,there's a way'

According to Janice M. Fernendes, to avoid from burning the midnight oil, we must have daily planner and set deadlines. But, my personal views on my plans to avoid myself from burning the midnight oil is to make sure myself prepare to have less sleep everyday to make myself feel common to have less sleep time, be a diligent person, and vigorous in every action I take. Besides that, I must have ability to decide which one has more priority to do. Well plan time management must come with proactive ability for me to make decision and action. Anyway, remember that”Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance”
Sorry to disappoint you but, I am one of them that burn the midnight oil..huhu..
Sometimes, we already make our own plan but there are many new things coming that need us to spend more time for a day and sometimes, there are coming new activities that clash with activities that already scheduled..Insufficient time is what UMP FKKSA K23 student facing now especially when the final examination is just the corner because there are many topics that not finish cover yet by lecture, there are so many presentation and project to finish off and there are so many report projects to send… We also need time for our own use such as eat and rest and get in organization as our soft skill…In addition, we do not know and understand anything until at last fingertips, make we take time in our task. We have tried our best to manage our time, but we still have problem to get rid with all this and the time that we plan for some activities is not enough and we need to drag out to other time..Hope in future, we can overcome all this problem and we will become a quality person that expert in managing our time well… @_@..Aed_alan..

Last-minute studying or completing tasks is what I away do. I think that is the bad way do the work. cause when we do it at that time, we do not have enough time and will stress. But if we do not have any idea at that time all bad and good idea will come in our brain, i think that is fun work. In my personal views on my plans to avoid myself from burning the midnight oil. First, make sure we have time table. So, we will know what need to every day.
Second make sure do the import work in early time.
But, I think if we time table and know what we need to do every day is like in self prison. I like more to be like bird can fly any where.

In my opinion,study last minute is not so good.student like me should practise an early revision.but in doing that,its need a lot of energy,a good time management,have mood to study and a lot more to considered.many assignment and quiz makes me feel laziest to study constantly.But with assignment and quiz,i can more understand about what i have been learn..so,for me study earlier is maybe good for getting a better result.instead,study last minute which now i'm practised is not so good..because my result is not so bad and not so good..so,my target in next semester is practised an early revision..i hope i can doing that.

Burn the midnight oil means study until very late at night right? For me, this is common things during examinations week. Now, it’s become one of bad habits among student. I realize that it’s also my habits and I will try to avoid it. First, I must have semester-long study plan. Pick up a calendar or a planner and mark down every major event - due dates, exam dates, vacation days, and any other important date we will need to be prepared for. I also can avoid this syndrome by love my syllabus. Periodical viewing of the syllabus will help me focus on important themes. As student, I have our own responsibility as go to all of classes and prepare before go to the class. The important things what I have to do is take concise notes in lectures and also while studying. Lastly, make sure that I don’t start studying the day before an exam. Good luck and do the best among the best to all of my friends……..

last-minute studying is one of the habit that practice among students.i am also one of the students who like to practice the last-minutes studying.actually, this bad habit can be avoided. based on the article which is given to me, last-minutes studying can be avoided by making the day planner and set the deadlines for every activities. but, i can't follow that steps. it is because i hate to follow the rules. it's like to make me to be a robot. i want freedom. so, i make my own way to avoid me to be stress. i like to make a foot note. so that, i will read it everyday. besides, i like to study when my roomates have sleeping such as at midnight. it is because, at that time i can study properly without talking with them.but, sometimes, i will ask my roomates to help me to solve the question that i can't answer.thanks a lot. to all my classmates, good luck in your final examination.

this is not a good thing for students..but, i'm of them..huhu..actually, students nowadays are always busy with their comitment..not only for study, but they also have another responsibilities to carry on..such as, a comitment with thier socities or organization..but as a student, there is no doubt that they must put their academic as their 1st priority..that's is why sometimes, students do not have enough time to study for their exams..for me, study last minute is exactly not good, but it depends to the condition or the subject..because sometimes, i can easily catch up when study last minute..if i study earlier, i might be forget of what i've study..but, to be an excellent student, we must take an initiative to avoid from burning the midnight oil..so, how?..one of the good way is, we must have a day planner..by doing this, we can know what we will be doing in that particular day..in addition, our work will done systematically..another way is, set deadlines..we must set deadlines for every activity..so that we will have a target to complete and finish our work

In my opinion, burning the midnight oil is not good for students..It is a bad habit to follow.. You must avoid from study last minutes..
As we all know,every student have their different ways to study.. I also have my own study skills.To success in examination is not easy.It must start from early.
Here, i want to share to you all about some tips to be an excellent student..
Like all exceptionally great students, you must pay attention! When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes and if you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask. The more questions you ask, the smarter you'll get,believe it or not. By passing notes and talking to friends, you won't learn anything, so pay close attention!Review your notes when you have free time.
You must do your homework.Teachers give you homework for a reason. It is to review what you have learned that day. Take advantage of your free time. If you really want to be a successful student, you should know right from the beginning when you want to be great at anything, you have to put up with things that just don't seem fair. Doing your homework is not a big deal. Remember, homework can also help you develop good habits and attitudes.
It would be a good idea to start studying a few days before a test. Make a study schedule. If an extracurricular activity gets in the way of your studying, tell the person in charge of that certain event, that you will not be able to attend that event, or you will have to leave early. However, there will be certain situations where you will have to attend whatever it is. In this kind of situation, you will just have to study another day. This is where your study schedule comes in. Write out a schedule of the week of your test and find your free time. Always remember, use your time wisely.
Finally,I hope the tips that i give to you all, can help in the future... :-)

my plans to avoid burning the midnight oils....
Honestly i just like this, i always study last minute but now try to change my self to make sure that it never happen anymore. My plan is i will study early everything that i thing i need long time to understand and leave the rest to study week. I will put all the information at one paper only. So i can read back when near the exam. I also try to make myself understand at the class when i learn that thing but it so hard to do but i never give up.

how to avoid burning the midnight oil???
Sorry to say actually I am one of the student that always study until the last minutes.
In order to avoid studying at very last minutes I think I should manage my time properly. Maybe we can start do study plan and make sure we follow it. Besides that, we should do some revision everyday after class. It is an effective way to study if we always do some short notes and involve in group discussion regularly. During the discussion, make sure we understand every subtopic and discuss what we don't understand with our friends. So that, we already understand everything that we learn before the examination. In conclusion, by practicing these method of study we don't have to study at the last minutes because we are well prepared.

Burning the midninght oil....
From, the article I had read I understood that burning the midninght oil is not a very wise thing to do. From,my point view I think that when we burn the midnight oil we will suffer. This because when we do it we would not have time to finish all our study and for sure we have a lot of difficulties in answering the examination question.
So, my plan in avoiding it, firstly is by planning strategy or a study time table. This means that we can plan our study time and play time. Planning time table will make us to be more effecient in managing our daily time.
Secondly, my plan in avoiding burning the midnight oil is by doing all the given homework at the given time and not procrastinate.By finishing the job in the given time we would have enough time to do our study.
Finally, I plan that to avoid burn the midnight oil is by ensuring that when I study I would make simples note. Because, from an articel in the Reader's Digest book say's that repitition is the best way in memorizing anything. So, when I make simple note while I study it could be utilize to repeat and revise at anytime and anywhere. When this is done I would be more prepared in facing the examination. I hope all this plan would not be only as a plan but can happen in my true life.....hehehe :)

Why burn the midnight oil? It's because the oil can't be burn on daylight...hua hua hua~(just kidding)
Seriously, last minute study can be practise among students if the person can handle the effect when they stay up whole of the night. But, this way is not practical and can cause many problem on you.So here, I try to notes out the ways to avoid last minute study. Firstly I think is you have to study constantly. In other word, even tomorrow doesn't have test or exam, you've to make revision to ensure that you fully understand on that subject. Secondly, time table is quite important. Don't study based on your mood. Try to be strict with yourself to follow the schedule that you had made. Then, do the exercises or tutorial to increase your capability on answering question. Even everyday you do only one question on a subject, it is quite enough rather than you do nothing. For me, if you follow above instruction, there is no doubt you can score on your examination and get excellent pointer but you'll kill you teenagers period. Your life has no enjoyment, fully stress and others will call you a zombie with books because you has no the time to hang out with them. You just study, study and study to avoid burn the midnight oil. Is we have to do that exactly?? So, just do whatever you want to do. Don't make study as burden to you. Cheerful your study life~~~~

This habit is always practices among students included me and now I‘m burning the midnight oil again. For me, I thinks study last minutes is more effective for me but I thinks it will take a lot of risk and I think I need to change my habit of study.
There are several ways to avoid last minutes study. Firstly we need to manage the time nicely. In order to avoid last minute study time management is very important and we need to use the time wisely. Secondly, try to have a discussion group regularly and discuss the topic that we had learnt on that day among our discussion’s member. By doing this, I think it will make we remember what we had learnt that day. Lastly, do the exercises of the topic that we had learnt on the day after finished the class.
Hope I will change my habits of study and not burning the midnight oil …. (“.)

Last minutes study itself has it own advantages and disadvantages and everyone should realize it. But the problems are the disadvantages are more than the advantages. Example, time is not enough for study, someone will easily stress etc. So way to avoid this problem is to start study at beginning and it will become easier and more planning. Firstly, I will give full attention while in lecture. If someone give fully attention that means he can save more time because he don’t need to relearn it again. So I can be preparing earlier than anyone expect. Then, I will make short notes. Short notes can help me a lot. This because I don’t need to use the big and heavy reference book which contains many sentences. I will not lose our mood to study if I use the short notes. Next is doing the discussion among my friends. This way I ask my friend what I don’t understand meanwhile my friend will understand better. If I do all these things earlier, I will not study last minutes, so the important is be in the circle of trust.

Burn the midnight oil.many student get use to this kind of studies.Sometimes I also practice it due to many assignment that I must give more commitment.But is have many bad effect.On my opinion,many way that we can avoid this thing.First the important things to do is to focus while lecturer give a lecture.And you must make sure that you understand the topic before leave the class.So that you don't have to take time to understand it again.Secondly manage our time earlier to do our revision.Make a time table and follow it.Divided subject and give extra time to study topic that you doesn't understand.Remember,someone who never plan,are planning to fail.
And then you can make small and compact note.This note you can review if you have an extra times.i hope all this can give a better way to avoid burn the midnight oil...Good luck and study hard and smart.

Why most of the students like studying last minute? I am one of the person that including burns the midnight oil. Although I know the impact for those whose like studying close to the examination I am always doing that. But for those that like using this method in their studies they must make sure that the must pay full attention in the class or in the lecture hall. After they all have understand what they have learnt in that day they may not take so much time in study. At a free time, they just can revise a little bit and do some exercises. For the disadvantages for those who are not understood at all what they have learnt they cannot study in the last time closest to the examination. Why? Because they cannot remember all they have learnt. For those who are not studying at all, avoid to study and to remember the notes 24 hour before the examination start. It is because percentage for remember the input that we get is very small. For the conclusion, burn the midnight oil is not good at all.

'last minute',,,,
is the common practise among students. to avoid from burning the midnight oil,manage the time effectively.in order to make it reality, try to make a timetable for the whole day and plan whatever we have to do.
stdy for the whole day without have a skill to stdy smart,it's just wasting the time.so,,,,stdy smart,,,=)...
but, with the good time management and skill to stdy,it's just nonsense if we put it at the back by being a lazy person.so,moral of the story is just being the hardworking person,,,hehehe

Why burn the midnight oil?
In my opinion, there are several ways to avoid from study last minute. first, we need to prepare earlier for our exam. we can start at the very beginning of the semester. secondly, we need to make a group discusson when the new semester start. it will make we ready earlier for our exam. so,it's all up to you to choose you stuyd style... we need to choose a suit study style with us.
why burn the midnight oil?
as we are students, we should not have such a habit.This habit will affect badly in students academic and curriculum activities.Beside waking up at night and studying last minute for exam, students can start to revise one or two weeks ahead before exam.this is much more convenient and easy way to study.so, i can conclude here that burning midnight oil should be like a forbidden issue in students life!!!
