1. Flashcards

This is likely one of the most popular ways to study terms and definitions. You can go the more traditional route  by writing your own paper cards or the modern way by using virtual cards that you can take and study anywhere. Free apps like Quizlet offers many flashcard sets and lets you make and share your own sets! Have a friend quiz you or quiz yourself to get the same question and answer experience that you will see on your test.   

2. Practice Problems 

Any test or quiz that has math problems should not only be studied for, but PRACTICED for! Find some example problems from your textbook or instructor and try to work them out yourself. It usually isn't’t enough to just look over the problems. Figuring out the problems will help you fully understand the concept and give you the practice you need for your test. 

3. Recorded Lectures 

This semester especially, many students have online or hybrid classes. If your instructor records any online lectures, go back and rewatch them. This will help refresh the information in your mind. You can also listen to the lecture while doing chores or other simple tasks and be an expert multitasker!  

4. Notes and Textbooks 

A more traditional, but just as effective way to study is to look over your notes and textbooks. Reading notes and highlighted portions of the book out  loud or writing them down is a great way to remember them! 

5. Change in Sceneryy 

It has been said that changing the environment where you study is very effective. Not to mention staying in the same place can be boring. Theree are several relaxing areas to study on campus or you can try going outside or to a local library if you are takingg classes remotely. This will give your studying experience the refreshing change it needs! 

6. Study Groups 

Collaborating with others is a wonderful way to hear new ideas and input. Maybe a classmate understands a concept you’ve been struggling to grasp and can help with a tricky problem. In study groups, you can help others and they can help you. Together, you and your peers can discuss topics, quiz each other, ask questions, work on problems, and you may even make some friends! Talk to other students after class and find a time to study together. They will be happy to have this opportunity. Our campus has a variety of study spots that accommodate larger groups. The library, the Setzer Center, the Science and Technology Building, and many more are effective options. And don’t worry at all if you are an online student; vvideo chat apps and websites like Zoom will let you and your classmates work together no matter the distance between you!
