Class schedule
Step number 1:
Study carefully the schedule of your classes, it is important to organize all subjects. Create a list and order the subjects by difficulty and time that you must dedicate to each of them, give them the following classification: high, medium or low. Try to create a fair list and do not fall into the mistake of including most of the subjects in the medium difficulty category.
Step number 2:
Now you have to think how many hours of additional study to the classes, you are going to dedicate the day to each subject, and do not forget to count on your leisure time, it is important to make getaways from Barcelona, or sport. With a good organization there will be time for everything, you can even decide that one day a week you are not going to study in addition to the classes and you are going to dedicate it to your personal leisure or to spend time with the companions of your student residence in Barcelona.
Step number 3:
From the study hours you have designated, you must now allocate a time for each subject per day. Some studies say that the ideal would be to dedicate during 4 days a week between about 15-30 minutes to the subjects of low difficulty, about 30-45 minutes for the subjects of average difficulty and about 45-60 minutes for the subjects of high difficulty , we do not believe that it is an exact science and the time that you have assigned can vary as the weeks pass and you have more and more agenda. The important thing and that you should not forget here is to change it in the calendar that you are making right now.
Step number 4:
Dedicate one day a month, to do a general review of the state of each subject, it will help you in a snap to know how you are taking the course and if there is something to modify in your calendar, probably some subjects are easier than that you had planned and vice versa. On the day you assign to the review you can choose to approach one of the libraries in Barcelona.
