- 40. Schema A schema in general is a specific, well-documented, and consistent plan. The related word, scheme means a loosely described plan. A schema (pl. schemata ), in psychology and cognitive science , is a mental structure (prior knowledge) that represents some aspect of the world. People use schemata to organize current knowledge and provide a framework for future understanding.
- 41. Schema as a Net Think of SCHEMA as a fishing net. The first time you put the net in the water, you gather a lot of big fish. Over time, however, as the net’s holes shrink from use, the smaller holes allow for smaller fish to be captured. In essence, you get more fish each time your dip your net into the water. So, the more you activate your schema before you try to study, the more details you will pick up as you read, complete an assignment, or simply get to understand what your course is all about and try to manage your school workload.
- 42. Time Management
- 44. Reality Check Approximately 10-16 hours per week is the optimum time for successful completion of a 4-credit study. In addition, it is important for you to have as regular a schedule as you can manage to meet the deadlines for assignments.
