This presentation is a template for anyone that wants to know a systematic process to study or exams and quizzes. Or... for folks that know, but want to review key areas to ensure that their process of studying is the best it can be. Besides being used by staff as a resource for setting their student up for success. I use it as a basic assignment prior to our first exams in both semesters. My students access it frequently in order to hone their study process.

2.  Even the best students catch themselves
sometimes “burning the candle from both ends”
 This means budgeting yourself enough time to
learn gets lost amongst all your “other” priorities…
sports, games, social life… this results in you
finding out at the last minute you’ve no time to
study.
 Remember, your education is the most important
priority. It will help determine your long term
success, so it’s good to give yourself enough time
to succeed.
