Here’s the sample question we worked on in class today. Don’t forget, the test will be Thursday, and you can expect four essay questions. I’ll provide space to write your answers on the test, so all you’ll need to bring is something to write with.

Another reason to avoid all-nighters: sleeping after studying appears to improve recall.

This time, in the form of links:

Hope you all had a good spring break. As you should know by now, you’ll need to prepare a study plan to be turned in on Thursday. I’ve already posted a link to an article on what we know about how people learn, and to further assist you, here is a test preparation guide from Kevin Burns, one of my colleagues here at Shelton State.

BUS263 StudyTips SP12

I know you guys are off on spring break and not really thinking about studying (as well you should be!), but when you get back, check out these learning tips from Geek Dad as you prepare your study plans for the next test.

See you next week.


If you were in class today, you know that there were some issues with the first test. Here’s the opportunity I’m offering:

  • To be turned in at the beginning of class on Thursday, March 22 (two weeks from today), write a study plan for what you will do differently to prepare for the next test.
  • There are only 2 wrong answers:
    • “Nothing” (it didn’t work this time; it won’t work next time, either)
    • “Study More” (either you didn’t study, or you’re just going to do more of what didn’t work last time)
  • If you do better on the next test, that grade will replace this one

Next week is spring break, so have a good break, and I’ll see you week after next.

Need help with the basic skills of using a computer, MyLabs, MSWord, or Blackboard?  The SOAR Institute will offer “Technology Basics”  sessions every Monday from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. in room 2455.

Additionally, all currently enrolled students of Shelton State have been registered and have an account for Smarthinking, an online tutoring service.   Attached is an informational flyer you are welcome to post with more details.  When students cannot get assistance on campus from their instructors or tutors, this is a valuable, 24/7 option.
