Educational Technology (EDTK3004) 3RD YEAR student
Everybody’s prime study environment is different. Some thrive in quiet libraries without an interesting sound, smell or sight around to distract from the task at hand. Others love being among the buzz of a busy cafe so they can really get in the zone.
The soundtrack of your study session is an important decision. For many, music can calm the nerves, help focus and increase motivation by improving their mood. It can affect your ability to memorize, problem solve and predict trends.
Scientists advise that music listened to while studying should have no lyrics and be played at moderate volume.
So, what is the best genre for you?
Listening to music while studying is a lot like self-administering a chill pill; you have to know what type of music you need to work best in your current state of mind. Because emotions are varied, you may (like me) have many studying playlists. Over the past eight years, I have built six playlists for different scenarios, from “you got this bro” to “I would murder the physical manifestation of this subject” (actual title of playlist invented especially for organic chemistry, which is quite ironic if you think about it) and everything in between.
