Ø Describe your ideal Instructor/Professor.
Ø “I knew it when I studied it, but I forgot it on the test.” How can students study differently to prevent this from happening?
Ø How do you study for quizzes/tests?
Ø What do you have trouble with on quizzes/tests?
I would have to say that my ideal Instructor/Professor would be someone who wasn't easily angered and someone who would understand and thoroughly answer questions during the lecture, and do some hands on work rather than just having us sit there. I know it is hard to do with classes of about 50 (guesstimation), but hey this is MY ideal professor/instructor now isn't it.
Lots of students try to have a cram session and shove all of the info they have learned over the weeks, but, i know you've heard it a lot, IT CAN'T BE DONE! You may end up passing, but if you "kept up" you would have passed with flying colors. And another thing is that you may be studying wrong for YOU, people may be studying another way but it works for them, not necessarily you. Find a way that works for you. We are all different.
I study by keeping up, rereading a lot, then having a friend make up questions out of the highlighted sections or of the notes I have taken, and the ones I get wrong, those are the ones I know I need to work on.
I have trouble with weirdly worded questions. I am a person who may take things the wrong way, and there are the questions that have either extra info, or like a double worded sentence, basicly repeating the question.

I really like your study technique of having a friend make up qstns. from your highlighted notes, neat!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that college should be mostly hands-on work since it's higher level application, you would think. Bummer. I also believe that if Instructors aren't friendly and approachable then they shouldn't be here. ;)

Oops, you didn't answer the last question about fast food -- 7/10 unless you do before next week.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I like your ideal teacher. I too feel there should be some hands on experience in a classroom rather than just sitting there. I think a lot would be learned by this method. Like riding a bike you got to get on and do it you just can’t hear someone tell you how to push the peddles. I also have trouble with questions being worded differently. I try to remove the weird words and reword it myself. Best of luck with figuring out a good way to study. You are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the ideal teacher should do a lot more hands on stuff. I think that would be an easier learning technique for me. Also, I have trouble with weirdly worded questions too. Unfortunatly Froiland uses that a lot :( Why can't they just ask straight forward questions? O well.
