Procrastination: The act of delaying or postponing tasks or studying until later despite knowing it may have negative consequences. Procrastination can lead to inadequate study time and negatively impact academic performance.
Memory Consolidation: The process by which newly learned information is transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory storage. Properly allocating enough time for studying helps facilitate memory consolidation.
Active Learning: An approach where students engage actively with their learning material through techniques such as discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on activities rather than passively listening or reading. Spending more time actively studying can enhance understanding and retention of knowledge.
