- Further Suggestions
-
If you are having any difficulties, seek help immediately - do not wait until it is too late to recover from falling behind or failing to understand a concept. Ask your instructor either in class, during office hours, or during an appointment. Email your instructor or use the OnCourse "email instructor" function. Work with your classmates (this is always a good idea) and visit the MAC. It is essential not to fall behind because each lecture is based on the previous material.
Good study habits are important for doing your best in any course. Here are a few tips for success:
- Always go to class and take good notes.
- Read each section in the text before it is covered in class. This will help you follow your instructor's lecture.
- Do the homework the day of the lecture or the next day and don't procrastinate!
- Do all of the homework thoroughly, write out all of the details, keep it organized, and use it to help you study.
- Review your old tests and look at solutions until you know what you did wrong and understand the solution.
- Make sure you figure out the approach to a problem, rather than simply memorizing the solution.
- Start studying for exams early and make sure to completely work out any sample tests that you may be given. It is difficult to do well if you start studying for an exam the night before.
