Review Notes After Class


What is one quick and easy thing you can do to improve your learning?
 
Review your lecture notes as soon as possible after each class.

By reading over what you wrote, you are starting the learning process.  The longer you wait, the more you will forget.  Of course, there are many more things you can do with the notes to learn them completely, but this one step is a quick and easy start. 

What else can you do?
  • Use recitation (restate in your own words from memory)
  • Make a study guide
  • Rewrite the notes if they are unorganized or hard to understand
How soon you are able to review your notes along with the frequency and number of strategies you use when studying your notes will determine how well you learn them!
