- REWRITE YOUR soon after the lecture; in my class you can tape record lectures; replay these to refresh your memory when you rewrite your notes. I will provide you with many visual, auditory and other analogies as well as mnemonics to trigger your memory. Place close attention to these. Make a solid effort to understand how they apply to the content discussed in class. Answer the question: how exactly can I match the information in class and in the book with the example the instructor has just given me? How do they compare? Can I make a perfect match? - Create flash cards with questions you make up from the lecture and lab with answers on the back. You should purchase a set of 3X5 index cards and have them with you in class. You can generate the cards during the lecture. - Use your own mnemonic devises and other games to remember concepts; go to Google images, YouTube and Khan Academy for additional pictures and videos to clarify concepts. - Make lists of confusing topics from your studying and ask questions. The first part of every lecture is a review. - Take advantage of the time available before and after class for questions and discussions of your ideas. Get creative and bring in new information to share with me and the class (a student called a capillary network a and I have always used it in class as a “pipeline” perfect analogy). - JOIN A STUDY GROUP and predict what questions the professor could ask on the test. - Get the telephone number of one or more buddies in case you are absent from a class. Learning Support Services Valencia offers free services outside of the classroom to assist your learning. The Tutoring Center (7-240) provides math tutoring in a walk-in basis and tutoring for languages, science, business, and many other subjects by appointment.
