"Well, before every possible quiz day I will have read the chapter and then

study for it kind of like I would study for a test, just not quite as much.

All in all I spend about two to three hours just studying for the quizzes.

When test time comes around I re-read all the chapters and while doing that

write down the important stuff while reading it in the book and also looking

at the power point notes- this way I am getting the same information input in

like three different ways. I always try to study one hour every night for 1

week in preparation for the exam- and then the night before I give everything

a quick review . . ."

"It is best if I give an example. Let's look at this time. We were

supposed to have the test on Thursday. I started studying on Monday.

Monday I studied chapter four by looking over the powerpoint slides, my

notes, and quizes. I then looked in the book to see if I could answer the

questions at the end of the chapter and if I could define all of the

keywords. Tuesday I studied chapter 5 doing the same thing. I then did a

quick review of chapter four. On Wednesday I studied chapter 6 doing the

same thing with a quick review of chapter four and five. Then Thursday

morning I did a quick review of all chapters. If I had trouble with

something I reviewed it everyday. If I could not answer any of the

questions in the back of the book I would look at that section and re-read

it."

presentations. I usually go to the library the day of the exam and

spend about 2-3 hours going through them chronologically. If I have

questions I cross-reference it against my notes (which helps because

the things that are emphasized in class are usually emphasized on the

tests) and the book. I don't go back and re-read the chapters. I do

however read the summaries in the back of each chapter to reinforce the

primary concepts."

"It's simple really!!!

Go over the power points from Dr. Miller's website and read each

associated chapter (usually the main points from each chapter are

emphasized in the power point) ; and review quizzes.

If you still having trouble after that Dr. Miller is often in his

office and is glad to go over problematic topics.

If you are still having trouble then you didn't do one of the above.

Good Luck and don't make it seem harder than it really is.

PS If you're bad on test there is always redemption in the journal

entries and the paper - so don't fret - just do it!!!"

"I used flashcards for important concepts and studied them until I knew

them all without looking. I had family to help call them out in random order. I

studied past quizzes and exams until I knew all the answers. But I learned why

it was that answer and not memorizing answers. I also looked at powerpoints for

the big concepts we talked about. Reading the book while we do it in class also

helps. For me it helped to understand it while we went along and study about 3

days before the test and not trying to cram for the test. I know it sounds

cliche but getting enough sleep and eating breakfast also helps."
