Study technique:
Class on Monday, take your notes then go home and read your
notes. After you read them don’t look at them again. Go to class
Wendsday and read notes from Monday. Go to class Friday
then look over all your notes. Constantly reviewing your notes,
you spend a good amount of time reviewing. This is how you
make an A.
