Note taking recommendations - 2 versions
1. Skim the chapter: take a small amount of notes - bare minimum
2. Go to class and take notes
3. Read the section carefully with detail. Take efficient, yet thorough notes
4. Take all of the papers from steps 1-3, and make a 1 master set of notes.
-- Review these notes from all sections at least once a week.

Reviewing for a final exam WITHOUT a Review Packet
1. Get a sheet of paper. On one side title it: List of Struggles. On the other side, title it: List of Mastery.
2. Go through old exams and quizzes. Write down the topics you had difficulty with and that you think you still know.
Do this in less than 1 hour.
3. Start going through the list of struggles. (do not do all of this by yourself!!!)
- fix the old exams on a separate sheet of paper
- go through your notes on that topic
- find similar problems to work on
When you find you are getting tired or frustrated, take a break or review from the List of Mastery.
