Overview
How Will I Prepare for the Midterm? Please use my attached schedule planner, Discussion asignment, and text book Using & Understanding Mathematics: A QuantitativeReasoning Approach, 8 th edition, Bennett and Briggs as a guide. to complete this assignment . to complete this assignment. Dr. Stephen Chew's videos are attached as reference to the assignment that. I attached below should be 300. words
You have spent the last 2 weeks watching and commenting on Dr. Stephen Chew's videos on "How to Get the Most Out of Studying." Now, let's put all of that into practice.
write a plan for how you will study for the midterm. Be sure that plan includes the following:
- Be specific. Include days and times that you will study and what materials you will use to study. The materials. are lectures, shcedules,and text books.
- Include specific strategies that Dr. Chew mentions in videos 1-4 on "How to Get the Most Out of Studying."
- Use appropriate vocabulary as mentioned in the above videos where appropriate.
- Be sure NOT to include ineffective strategies Dr. Chew mentioned. Some examples of what not to do:
- Not effective: "I will look over my notes" (which would be shallow, not deep, processing)
- Not effective: "I will re-watch all of the videos" (again, shallow and not deep, and also fairly impossible)
That's not to say you can't look over notes or videos, but how will you do that in a way that involves deep processing skills?A
attached is. my assignment on How to get the most out studying
Doctor Stephen Chew stresses the need for practical methods to enhance studying and taking notes. One important strategy I can use is question generation, in which, after going over my notes or textbook, I formulate insightful queries regarding the subject matter. These inquiries may center on contrasting ideas, examining connections, or relating concepts to actual situations. The concept mapping technique is beneficial to me since it helps me better understand the linkages between ideas by visually organizing material into nodes and links. Lastly, practicing retrieval without consulting my notes guarantees that I can remember and apply the material my professor requires for the midterm, whether in essays or multiple-choice exams. Combining these strategies, I can engage in deeper processing and learn more effectively.
I am aware, nevertheless, that I occasionally use ineffective methods, such as indiscriminately highlighting. I have marked whole passages of text in the past without considering their content, which has resulted in superficial processing. Trying to jot down every word during lectures instead of concentrating on essential ideas and examples is another tendency. This superficial notetaking prevents me from processing information intensely during class. I have also occasionally studied passively, which is less beneficial for long-term recall, by reviewing my notes without actively engaging with the content.
I will use tactics that emphasize deep learning to get better. Instead of taking verbatim notes during lectures, I update my note-taking strategy by highlighting important concepts and finding connections. Additionally, I will set aside weekly time to develop questions and make idea maps for complex subjects. I will also work on retrieval by outlining answers to sample questions or discussing the content with a study partner. I will perform better on the midterm and retain material if I constantly implement these adjustments.
