childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for health
services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have been guided

BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE STUDENT
Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline. There are six areas
which are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you will become an effective student.
Targets
Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to read one chapter of a
book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend. This kind of detailed,
planned target is more effective than a vague commitment. It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about
your plan. This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail!
Rewards
Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to a
favorite piece of music after one hour's study, Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make
you feel good about yourself.
Timing
Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e. when it is quiet and when you are most'alert. Try to
make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day. If you plan to start work at a certain time, say 7 pm, do
not find reasons to put off getting started. You can watch a DVD later, and your emails are not urgent!
Quantity
A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so daunting, in fact, that it can
be difficult to sit down and make a start. Break the larger task down into several smaller ones. For example,
make a list of questions that you will have to deal with in your essay, and then approach each question
separately. This makes the work more manageable.
Notes and Learning styles
The books you are studying won't always present information in a way that suits your learning style. It is,
therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and organizing them in a way that suits you best. It is
also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat and well-organized. This will make it much easier to retrieve
information later.
Revision
Don't leave revision until the last moment. When you set your study targets, allow regular revision time.
This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam.
