That means research, taking notes\u00a0and\u00a0understanding your\u00a0weaknesses so you know where you need to improve.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Remember, as a\u00a0university student\u00a0you may have one lecture per week, per module with up to a few hundred other students\u00a0at a time.\u00a0Your lecturer can sow the seeds of your education and spark an interest, but they may not have\u00a0the\u00a0time to\u00a0delve into\u00a0topics\u00a0and\u00a0explore them fully, which gives you the perfect opportunity to do it yourself!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Essay and exam time is always busy, but there is always time\u00a0outside of lectures to conduct some self-directed study\u00a0with tangible benefits, including:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Helping\u00a0you\u00a0prepare\u00a0better\u00a0for seminars<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You\u2019re often asked to read a chapter ahead of a seminar, but what if you read beyond that? What if you went as far as to back up what you had read with a case study or\u00a0could reference\u00a0a theory found in another text?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This will provide you with\u00a0both the knowledge and notes to prove an excellent point in an essay or assessment that will form part of your marks for the module.\u00a0Your lecturer would also be really impressed!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Building a good rapport with your lecturer is not something that is spoken about enough, but it is something you should do. You have a lot to learn from your lecturers and\u00a0if you have a good\u00a0relationship\u00a0they\u2019re often more responsive and likely to keep in touch after university, meaning you can\u00a0show them how far you\u2019ve gone!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Improved problem-solving skills<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You may not find the answer you\u2019re looking for on your first attempt, so you\u00a0can\u00a0try again, altering your search term\u00a0or\u00a0try\u00a0searching in different places until you find exactly what it is that you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Self-directed study\u00a0forces you to do some of the thinking yourself to find the answers and this\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0well sought-after skill\u00a0in the modern workplace, which will make you a stand-out candidate if you can prove your ability to solve a problem.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Broader knowledge<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By conducting self-directed study, you\u2019re exposing yourself to a wealth of knowledge that could potentially help\u00a0you\u00a0become an expert in your field.

Create a little study group and have everyone research the same topic for different reasons and share notes on this.

If you\u2019re new to self-guided study, it\u2019s not recommended you sit for 10 hours in one seated\u00a0position\u00a0for studying.\u00a0Start off with structured, manageable\u00a0study blocks and work your way up, ticking off more topics as you go.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Rewards. We all need a bit of motivation every now and then. To keep yourself on track, set yourself a goal and make sure there\u2019s a nice reward at the end of it \u2013 whether it\u2019s going to the pub, a tasty snack or\u00a0just an hour of downtime.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">With many courses offering a hybrid model of learning, the ability to conduct self-directed study is more important than ever.
