Tips and Ways to Study
· Ask questions whenever a topic does not make sense
· Take notes throughout class and underline key points
· Study vocabulary
· Use your engineering notebooks to help you study and with your assignments.
· Study with a buddy! When you study with a friend and quiz each other on material, it helps you to remember more.
· Flashcards made from notebook paper or index cards are always helpful!
· Meet with your teacher before or after school for help.
· Finally, do NOT cram the night before!!!!
