Learning

Multiple choice testing tips:
-Cover choices while reading questions and recall as much information as possible on topics in the question.
-Predict answer based on what you know
-Look at one choice at a time and decided if its true or false
-Don't let choices like a and b or all of the above scare you.
-Terms all or never should make you nervous
-Watch out for key words.

Study tips:
-Study material covered in lecture and assignments most.
-Review lecture notes by elaborating on topics, listening to lecture again or reading to further understand material.
-Make flash cards out of the lecture slides and go over the flash cards and their correlating lecture notes to prepare for exams.
-If the teacher posts their own lecture notes only write down information that is not on their slides.
-Its best to print out the teachers notes before class if possible and takes notes right on them. If notes are only posted right after class add any additional information your recorded when you go back to review the notes

Class materials
-I prefer 1 binder with dividers for each class.
-I also bring 1 spiral note book to take notes in for all of my classes.
-I print out all my class notes and put them in the binder...If the binder fills up I will get another one if necessary.
