Different study techniques present among students Unique study techniques were present among Northwest students. Unique because study was not just confined to home or to the community library. Students utilized the facilities available at Northwest such as the commons, school library and of course classrooms. When using the school's facilities, students were also interested in saving time. By completing homework at school, students had time to hold down part-time jobs and work on other projects outside of school. Instead of leaving the building during the lunch hour, many students us- ed this time to study for tests or do extra homework. Also, during lunch a large number of students used the typewriters in the school library to type essays, reports and research papers. Using the time allow- ed at lunch was just one of the study .techniques utilized by Northwest students. A favorite technique used by students was to study with friends. A group of four or five students studying together was not an uncommon sight. But usually students studied with only one or two friends. The topics studied were as varied as the students who studied them. National Honor Society members studied for up- coming competitive bowls. juniors studied for the PSAT while seniors studied for the ACT and the SAT. Even though studying seemed to be a hard task to perform, many students found it easier if they could study with a friend. Unique study. techniques aided Nor- thwest in stepping out of the crowd in academic achievements. if 4 0 Opening me al TOP: Using class time proves to be the best way for Senior Eric Christensen to work on his homework assignments.
