As the new norm in many countries, including Sri Lanka is the online education I think it is important to talk about this topic. Even though it is a bit too late to write this I thought of publishing this anyway. So let me get things straight. You sit behind your computer and in your very cozy room and teacher cannot see you. There are many things that can go wrong in a situation like this. You can watch tv, you can eat, you can even be sleeping and the teacher will not notice. As students we need to optimise the time we have and use it to the max. So now I will point out shortly what we can do to concentrate on the lecture/class.
01. Have your meals and trips to the toilet before the lecture.
This is important because one trip to the kitchen may take hours!
02. Make sure you have everything you need on the table including a bottle of water and even a flask of coffee.
Again saving trips to the kitchen!
03. If possible, get the lecture notes before the lecture and try to study it beforehand.
Most of the time if we know the subject beforehand, it is less likely to zone out. I myself find it easy to concentrate if the professor is speaking something I already know.
04. Have enough sleep.
Having not enough sleep also makes you drowsy all the time. A good nights sleep is never a waste. It actually helps you to absorb the things you studied more. (If you still haven't seen the article I wrote about why sleep is important, click HERE to read it.)
