Collaborative Review

The most valuable thing to do when reviewing is to make your own review notes.

I have provided a simple template for starting your review notes in a spreadsheet. Link at left.

INSTRUCTIONS

Get together with some friends and collaborate to create a thorough review of the topics we studied. I have started each for you.

Create a Glossary of terms, an overview of important People, a series of Lists of anything from parts of stars, postulates of a theory to types of reproduction etc, or note the important Diagrams .

Assign each person in your group a unit, or part of a unit, to summarize. As you go through your section, you can add information to each part of the spreadsheet and then use the sorting tool to organize your study notes at the end, either alphabetically or by section in the text.

You can build your study notes together by joining your files or working together on a single file through iGoogle's document collaboration feature.

While working in large groups may help you to assemble your study notes faster, you get the maximum benefit from MAKING your study notes, not USING notes that are made for you.
