HOW
TO STUDY
TIPS:
1. Do
your homework before every class. This will help you to
prepare for the test; it will also teach you how to take a
test. Above you will see study guide links to test 1, 2, and
3. Click the link for your next test, and stick to what's
there. That is what will be on the test.
2.
Find a place with few distractions, and only study there. When you feel your
concentration span starting to go, get up, and take a quick
break. Then go right back to studying. You will notice a big
difference in your concentration span within 6 months.
3.
Read a
book on mnemonics. It will help you remember and save time. CNN has an article on the subject:
Forgetting things? Mnemonics can make them stick.

4. Study
in groups. Although some students prefer to study alone, research shows
that students that study in groups do better. Remember more
minds are better than one - usually.
5.
Take advantage of the tutoring center. Statistics show that
tutoring raises a students grades by a letter grade.

Grow Your Own.
A
different unrelated study showed that
you can grow your own air, and increase your
productivity by 20%. The study assumes that the increase of
productivity is due to the air quality, but this is not
proven. Some, or even all, of the improvement could be due
to the visual calming affect of the plants as the above
study would suggest.
