Smart note-making
Don't just copy textbooks. Create concise notes in your own words. Use headings, bullet points, and diagrams. Connect theory to fieldwork examples. Keep separate notebooks for each subject and review them weekly.
Time management
MSW demands balancing classroom learning, fieldwork, assignments, and report writing. Create a weekly schedule. Dedicate specific hours for reading, field visits, and report writing. Don't procrastinate on fieldwork reports — write them on the same day.
Exam preparation
Start revision at least 2 weeks before exams. Focus on definitions, theories, and their applications. Practice answer writing with headings and subheadings. Include case examples from your fieldwork to make answers stand out.
