1. Establish learning objectives

College students' learning is more complicated, advanced, conscious and independent than that of middle school students. Therefore, the strength of learning motivation has a great influence on college students' academic performance. In senior high school, students' only learning goal is to be admitted to the university, and the goal is clear. Coupled with the supervision of teachers and parents, they study very hard. Once their goals are achieved, they are easy to relax and hope to have a good time in college. No further learning goals were set in time. On the other hand, freshmen's self-control ability is generally poor, and they are easily influenced by others, and sometimes they imitate the practices of senior students intentionally or unintentionally. Gradually lost self-control.

Therefore, freshmen should set their learning goals as soon as possible to adapt to the relaxed learning atmosphere outside the campus. Few people in the university supervise you and actively guide you; No one has set specific learning goals for you. Everyone is facing their studies independently. Everyone should set their own goals. Everyone is secretly comparing with their own yesterday, their own potential and others.

2. Adjust learning methods

Inheriting the learning methods of senior high school, it is quite common for freshmen to improve their abilities in an all-round way even if they study hard. After entering the university, the teacher-led teaching mode has become a student-led self-study mode. After teachers impart knowledge in class, students should not only digest and understand what they have learned in class, but also read a lot of books and documents in related fields. It can be said that the level of self-study ability has become the most important factor affecting academic performance. This kind of autonomous learning ability includes: being able to independently determine learning objectives, questioning what teachers have said, summarizing what they have learned, and being able to express and discuss with others.

Self-study ability is a kind of ability that everyone must have. In fact, you need to have self-study ability in every learning stage, but the requirements for self-study ability in different educational stages are different. The requirement of self-study ability in the basic education stage is not so prominent, and going to college is a qualitative leap. Classroom study is only a small part of university study, and more knowledge depends on self-study. Teachers often play a guiding role. Universities are more about teaching students how to learn.

The transition from the old learning method to the new learning method is a process that every freshman must go through. Ideologically, we should realize that if we want to succeed in school, we must make full use of the existing learning conditions, master and apply what we have learned and improve our ability. Getting through this stage as early as possible can be very smooth, less detours, reduce psychological pressure and promote the improvement of academic performance.

3. How to learn college mathematics well

College mathematics is a course that freshmen generally find difficult to learn. Compared with other courses, college mathematics is more logical and abstract. Here are some suggestions for freshmen:

First, master the relationship between understanding and memory. There are many concepts and formulas in mathematics, so we should pay attention to understanding them in the learning process, rather than memorizing them. Special attention should be paid to the relationship between knowledge before and after, such as limit, continuity, derivative and other concepts are related to limit, so we should pay attention to their relationship and similarities and differences in learning. Another example is the derivative rule of composite function. If you can't understand its meaning and the structure of compound function, even if you memorize the formula, it won't help you to do the problem.

Study hard and do it actively. Try to preview before class, but you must review carefully after class and finish your homework independently. The process of doing the problem should be regarded as a test of the mastery of knowledge. Attention should be paid to the connection between college mathematics and middle school mathematics knowledge. In fact, it is very important to use a lot of elementary mathematics knowledge in college mathematics.

Be prepared for hardship. Learning is a very hard thing. We should adapt to the way of thinking in mathematics, actively overcome all kinds of learning difficulties and constantly improve our interest in learning.
