As adult students in Shanghai TV University， self-study becomes very important. According to me， there are several pieces of tips of self-study.
First， I always make a study plan in the beginning of a new semester. Second， preview every unit before the lesson. Third， try to finish the homework after class. Fourth， go over what I have learnt in class regularly at home. Without review， you will absolutely forget what you’ve learnt as quickly as possible. So reviewing is helpful in understanding and memorizing what you‘ve learnt.
