Much of the instruction we present through out the school day requires students to be actively involved in group discussion and /or activities.  Then assignments are given to students to complete. Homework is never intended to be busy work. Its intent is to support what we are doing in the classroom.

How to Make the Most of It

Time is precious when you're juggling multiple responsibilities. Make the most of what you've got by using your time effectively, developing your concentration skills and dealing with distractions.

Use Your Time Effectively

When are you at your brightest? Are you a morning person or a night-hawk? Are you sleepy and distracted after lunch?

Try to schedule study time during your peaks. Don't waste time when you're less mentally alert - use it to accomplish simple, routine tasks like housework or grocery shopping.

Develop Your Concentration

How long is your concentration span? Find out by recording your start time when you read from a textbook or other course readings. As soon as your mind begins to drift, record the time again. Try this several times until you can gauge your average concentration span.
