Time Management

Time management is important for success and involves goal setting, organizing, planning, conserving time and resources, and maintaining peak efficiency. 

  • Have a planner/calendar
  • Break up the material into chunks
  • Prioritize and use peak periods of concentration
  • Study and review material each day - do not wait to cram material before an exam

You may need to cut back on the number of hours you are working or how much time you are dedicating to student organizations and other extracurricular activities. Don't skip class!

Learning Styles and Memory Techniques

Identify your learning style to succeed academically. Studying might be best accomplished by doing so in different ways, including in groups and by putting material into a form they can best absorb. It may be useful for students to take a learning style assessment to determine how they might alter study material to study more effectively. 

You should study over sustained periods of time, rather than in short cramming sessions. Review material regularly.

Academic Plan

Make sure you stay on track and successfully complete all requirements. You may also benefit from additional programs, such as dual/collaborative degrees or micro-credential programs. Talk with your advisor about your options.

Libraries and Books

There are several libraries on campus to study in. As a PharmD student, you'll have access to some free books for required courses.

English Communication Concerns

If you are experiencing communication trouble, we have resources available to you including special faculty advisement, peer mentor support and an elective course. Contact pharm-advise@buffalo.edu.
