Test review

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.

Yet another study tip

Ted — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:43:43 +0000

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

Even more study tips

Ted — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 16:28:08 +0000

This time, in the form of links:

Study skills self-help information from Virginia Tech
William Rappaport at SUNY BUffalo has a great page on studying copiuosly illustrated with comic strips
Study Skills page at Dartmouth University
How to get the most out of studying, a great series of videos from Stephen Chew at Samford University (If you don’t look at anything else, watch these videos.)

More study tips

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.

See you next week.

BUS 263-01 Test 1 opportunity

Ted — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:06:42 +0000

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.

Tutoring resources available

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.
