Strategies for Success

For each chapter

• Read the assigned text chapter and view any video clips posted on the class website as homework.

• Download the chapter notes (found on my website) and review the notes.

• Try the end of chapter problems.

• Download the answers to selected end of chapter problems (found on my website) and review your answers.

• Take notes during the video clips and rewrite/organize your notes afterwards.

• Read the text chapter a second time.

• Download and complete the chapter true/false questions and discussion questions.

Other study suggestions

• Make flashcards.

• Read your notes into a tape recorder (and playback).

• Take notes as you read the text.

• Combine (rewrite) your class notes and text notes into a single set of notes.

• Study several hours per day everyday (do not wait until the night before the exam).

• Study with a friend or small group (discuss terms and topics, try problems together, and quiz each other). You could meet virtually in Second Life!

• Do the case studies accompanying the text found on the student CD (not a requirement).

General comment

• To protect your privacy, exam scores and final grades will not be posted in public spaces, e-mailed, or released over the phone. I will post grades on WebCT.
