There are three simple things that you can do to be sure that you have a successful semester:
Go to class.
This is common sense, but it is easy to start to skip classes and then it becomes a habit. If you find yourself skipping, print or write out your weekly schedule and cross off each class as you attend it. Crossing off the class will be additional motivation to go and as you consistently attend you will feel more comfortable in class.
Review you notes after each class.
As soon as possible review your notes after class, definitely before the next class. A future post will list various strategies you can use with your notes, but for now be sure to go over them several times a week. At least once a week go over all of the notes that will be on the next exam.
Recitation
This means to restate in your own words from memory. Once you have reviewed your notes, close your notebook and explain what you learned in your own words. Divide the notes into manageable, logical segments – don’t try to do this with 5 pages all at once.
Log on next week for multiple learning strategies that you can use when reviewing your notes.
