- Actually go to the reviews
- Do all the readings the professor has assigned
- Talk to someone about concepts to help solidify knowledge and to help memorize the extensive material
- Don't get behind on readings or projects - space out projects, papers, and studying so you have enough time to put in quality work and don't have to pay that pesky five dollar late fee that I've paid more than a few times
- Make a plan on how to most effectively study based on how that class is graded (e.g. will you be able to memorize everything, just know the broad picture of something, or know the material inside and out and be able to apply it?
- Create a word document or google docs with all the stories you'll have to know or main concepts and then a separate word doc with all the vocabulary.
-Make a list of questions you're confused about and take it to the TA lab and have them explain the concept to you
- Go to the TA labs and review tests from last unit
- Come to class prepared having all your readings done for that day so you won't get to class and get really confused.
- Get a study group together and use it frequently before tests.
- Use memorization tricks or mnemonic devices to help you recall either words or ideas
- Remember to not get too stressed that you just blow off all your work. Instead, think about it in a positive way that motivates you instead of shuts you down.
