Student Feedback

• I got an A by using my time in class and at home to read the chapter sections so I can took notes and have something to reference when I’m taking the quizzes or tests.
• First I read through the section without taking any notes then after I read through it again and anything that seamed new I wrote down so I wouldn’t forget it.
• I took a lot of notes and highlighted them in my composition book
• The way I got an A on the quiz was first, I read each paragraph and then wrote a brief summary of the paragraph and also added important details or words/phrases that I thought would be on the test. Then, before class started, I read the chapter again to refresh my memory.
• I take extremely detailed notes for all the sections and what really helps me it to highlight all the important information so it I easy for me to find.
