Week 10 - Quarter Final Preparation

Discussion Topic

Top of Form

We have reached the end of the quarter. With finals next week, I would like for you to use this week's discussion to discuss the different study methods you have used or will be using. Make sure to read over other students posts, as you may find a particular method which may help you to study.

The discussions are a great way to learn and exchange information with others in the class.

TRENT’S POST:

For this exam, I'll be going through my notes that I've taken this semester which consists primarily of the content that I struggled with. I don't take notes of everything in this class, because it's simply too much to go through. Instead, I focus mainly on the points that stick out as unfamiliar to me. This week I'll be working on copying that content onto note cards. I'll flash through the cards before the exam, but the idea is mostly just to write stuff down. The act of actually writing things out really helps me to remember stuff.

KATRINE’S POST:

My study habits include rereading PowerPoint presentations and the chapters that were covered during that quarter or semester. If I see something that was referenced on a test, I will take my highlighter to the book and add a sticky note with how I remember the question being asked. 3x5 cards are amazing tools that should not be taken for granted. I usually write down the week, the chapter and the pages that were covered and use them as bookmarks for that particular section so I can focus or that portion of the book, so I don’t get set off track and do more work than is necessary.

Other study methods I use are to re-read the chapters that we covered this quarter. To review the PowerPoint presentations and develop note cards on what I think could be asked on the final exam. Or, if something jogs my memory from tests prior. Discussion forums from weeks prior can also be helpful to review.

Something new that I tried this quarter was taking what I put on 3x5 cards and uploading it to the website  https://ankiweb.net/about . This website allows you to interactively quiz yourself and self-assess what you need to really focus on until you have the information committed to memory. The website also has an app, so you can take your flashcards virtually anywhere without the need to lug around stacks of flash cards.

The advice that I would give students for final exam reviews is to review any discussions available so that you can jog your memory. Look over notes, and flash cards you created. Also, be sure to provide yourself with self-care. When you stress about finals, it can take a toll on your physical and mental health. Drink water, eat some fruit and other healthy snacks. Get some sleep, you got this.
