All in all, I feel as though I did really well on this exam. After reviewing the questions that I missed, it seems as though I may have misunderstood the question. On future tests, I will make sure that I fully understand the question before answering it. I know that time seemed to fly by while I was answering questions, so I will make sure that I manage my time better.
Learning the material in this class can be quite a daunting task. As my photo representation suggests, the textbook is the most important tool of success in this class! I have taken courses that require a text book, but you can pass without it. In this class, that is not the case. Luckily, I find the content of the book incredibly interesting, so it isn’t difficult to remain engaged throughout the chapters.
As I read through each chapter, I took notes of the bold, highlighted words throughout the text. I wrote them down along with the meaning of the term. After reading the chapter, I went back to the terms to ensure that I fully understood the concepts before moving on to the next chapter. This really helped me to keep the terms with their associated chapters. When I am able to stay organized, I find it easier to retain the information.
Once the exam review sheet was released, I spaced it out, so I could do a little each day prior to the test. Doing the review this way, worked best for me. I wasn’t overwhelmed with trying to complete the review in just a couple of days and I was able to really focus on each concept.
