Advice: My advice to students is to review every day! Try to go over the material after class
as soon as possible. I personally like to rewrite my notes and as I rewrite them,
I think about them and make sure to understand everything I’m writing. Also, I recommend
making or using the objectives on slideshows to make questions you can answer or completing
lots of practice problems. If you don’t understand something, go to office hours!
And I personally also like explaining the material to my friends, since it teaches
you to really understand the content and helps with review.
