Do you want to make homework simpler? Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead said, “ Homework might be an unavoidable(不可避免的) part in school, but it doesn’t have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.

Use your notebooks

The brain is able to finish great works, but it is not perfect. Students should never rely on (依赖) it to remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. According to Whitehead, to make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the night’s list.

Remove distractions(使注意力分散的事物)

Computers on, music on, text messages receiving….

Whitehead says that if students aren’t doing research, they should turn off all the above electronics and focus on the task at hand for a set period of time. They’ll find that it is easier to concentrate(全神贯注) and that homework takes less time.

Think actively

Getting homework done is the name of the game, but what happens if students are struggling with a questions or can’t work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again.

Get organized

Homework is often the most disorganized part. Whitehead recommends, “ Students should keep all the homework-related things in a bin so they don’t waste time searching for pens or rulers. ” He also recommends picking the same place to do homework every night, and (when possible) completing homework at the same time each day.
