Editor's Notes

  1. Students learn in chapters but exams are typically questioned from compound knowledge
  2. Poor foundations: students don’t know certain skills, tricks and methods Different pace of learning; some students slower than others Big picture: students left behind try to study on their own but end up not understanding certain things or skipping important concepts
  3. Good learning habits:
