Here's a
link to study and
college success from the Clark Counseling Center.
When I study for a test I do the
following:
- I skim the chapter again (I’ve
already read it and highlighted it).
- I only carefully re-read the
parts that I feel weak on.
- I pay attention to pictures
because they are often summarizing in nature.
- I go through my lecture notes and
in the margin of my notes I write questions for
virtually every point I’ve written.
- I quiz myself on the questions I’ve
written.
- Now I’m ready to study that chapter
with a partner.
- I’d do the online questions with a
partner. The online questions are not a great way to learn the
information but they are a good way to see if indeed I do know
the material. That’s why I do that part last.
- On to the next chapter.
For the final, I'd pay attention to those questions I
missed on our chapter 3-17 test; get those items correct. After I did
that, I'd go back to chapters 1-12.
See you at 10 AM in our lecture classroom. Call me
