The first day of class I went over some key point on how to study for a test that I found on the Internet.
Below is a list of some of the points that students should find out ahead of time.
1. What material the test will cover.
2. What type of test(multiple choice, true false, ahort answer,essay).
3. How the test will be graded.
4. How much the test will count toward the final grade.
5. Study in a place that is free of distractions. Have ready all the things you will need, such as paper, pens or a calculator.
6. Study at a time when you are alert and not hungry or sleepy.
7. Don't wait until the last minute to study. Short daily study sessions are better than on long session the night before.
8. Set a goal for each study period. If you are being tested on three chapters, set up four study sessions, one for each chapter and one for a review of the main ideas in all three chapters.
9. Repetition is the key. Read and reread your class notes and the relevant chapters in the textbook.
10. Create you own study aids.a. Make an outline form your notes of just the main ideas.b. Make a timeline of important dates or the order of events.c. Make flashcards for studying vocabulary or events and important dates.
Good Luck.

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7

Gerald,
Those are all great point to give to students. Sometime teachers think by the time you get a student they know all of the items you mentioned but we can not assume anything when it come to our students. We, educator, must share anything we know to better our class as well as the students school progress. Thanks Loraine
