Create a study schedule. Take time to create a reasonable study schedule for the week. Include time to reread materials, organize your study notes and schedule study groups with fellow classmates. Share your schedule!
Review notes. Review, revise and refresh! Review notes for accuracy and relevancy. Revise notes based on new material learned in class. Refresh your notes by incorporating some creativity such as drawing, outlining, etc.
Connect with classmates. Schedule study group sessions. As a group, discuss a plan of action, how much material will be reviewed, what should be prepared before each session and staying on task.
