D. Moore GU 101 Week 7 AGn

You don’t have to answer all the question

In Week 3 and 4 of this course we covered many different study strategies. Use that knowledge, combined with this  list of questions , to create a Study Guide for the Final Exam. The format of your Study Guide is up to you, but should be based on a combination of the study strategies you learned earlier in the course, and self-reflection about what works best for you. Basic criteria for the study guide are below:

·         Addresses all questions provided

·         Exhibits understanding of study, note taking, and test taking skills

·         Is well organized and highlights important information

·         Is formatted based on knowledge and understanding of study skills

·         Uses writing skills (grammar, spelling, etc.) at a level that allows the guide to be easily readable
