事前・事後学修の内容
/Before After Study
Do homework assignments as soon as possible (the same day; or the next day). Waiting until the last minute to do assignments/homework (‘ichiyazuke’) is NOT a good way to study.

You should 'STUDY-AT-HOME'--NOT use this time to do EXTRA ''arbeito'' work. Your 'job', now, is to study--NOT more ''part-time arbeito''. *FOCUS* 100% on your studies, 9AM to 5PM, Monday to Friday (and sometimes weekends). To FOCUS, you'll need to study with all DISTRACTIONS OFF (TV/SNS/LINE/Radio/Facebook/YouTube/etc.).
