how i handle my workload
first i review what i’d learned most recently (this is usually quick, but i say everything out loud and repeat terms/concepts i don’t understand)
I do this by either rewriting the notes (handwritten), flashcards, or by going through the study sheet provided (this won’t always be given)
second i work on any essays/assignments that i have to do, priority goes to those due the soonest or the ones that are the most difficult
finally i review for any upcoming tests/labs that i may have, priority goes to those that occur the soonest or are the most difficult (i do this by reviewing my notes, flashcards, power points, studying with friends, or using a study guide)
TIPS
Ask classmates questions about the topic, don’t be afraid of looking dumb - they are in the same position as you
If you didn’t get a study guide, make one yourself! It can be a great study tool, maybe even more effective than one created by a teacher
Don’t cram. Just, don’t.
