SELF-STUDY TIPS (from all sections)

I do homework right after class
For tests, I complete the entire review sheet. This has helped me be prepared for exams.
The week of the test, go over everything meticulously, and the next day review hardest topics.
Review recent reading HW
Study groups, meeting with other students after class
Watch Khan Academy vidoes
practice problems
flash cards
