STUDY TIPS

Attend classes, discussions, and tutorials. Your notes may be poor because you prefer to listen. Expand them
by talking with others and collecting notes from the textbook.
Consider finding a "note-taking study partner" in each class who will be your backup for filling in things you missed in class.
Put facts or dates into a song, a rap, or a rhythm to aid memorization.
Record class lectures make your own audio recordings by reading your notes and textbook information onto a recorder.
Review these records in your car or on a headset, whenever you can, to be ready for a test.
Use recorded books whenever possible. When studying by yourself, read textbooks and notes out loud. Repeat facts with your eyes closed.
Join a study group or study with a partner to review information, notes, texts, etc.
