  • Briefly review notes before class
  • Take notes while reading (most learning takes place when you write it down)
  • Draw words or concepts to reinforce learning (65% of people are visual learners)

  • Bring questions from homework before, after, or during class to the teacher. 
  • Pinpoint weaknesses and attempt to make them your strengths
  • Attend all lectures 
  • Come to SI sessions if you need to develop study strategy skills and organization - that's why I'm here!
