How to study?

The very best way to improve is to learn from your mistakes.  My assistant, has your old exams in her office.  I suggest visiting him/her in her office hours (see electronic syllabus).  Once you determined pattern in your mistakes, we can start troubleshooting. 

 If the problem is content specific, consider the following study guide:

  1. Prepare: organize your study plan.  Consider deadlines and exam dates.
  2. Eat: read the relevant chapters in the textbook before coming to class.
  3. Digest: use the class for asking questions you had about the reading.
  4. Ruminate: take your class notes and/or my Internet postings to go though the assigned readings.  Take my lecture to guide you in your self-learning process.

If you have a specific question, please come by in my office hours. It is important that you are considered about your performance.  Studying is to a large part working on your improvement process.

I hope I can help.
