CREATE REVIEW TOOLS
Review tools will help make studying more interesting and effective. Design your
own tools or work with a group or study partner to develop them. Following are
some suggestions for study tools:
Concept maps - create a visual diagram of your notes with the central topic
at the top middle of the paper and the remaining concepts branching off from
the central point.
Study checklists - make a list of all the topics you are going to study and
check off as you go along.
3X5 CARDS
These are excellent review tools for many reasons. They consolidate information
in a format that is easy to read, they are small and easy to carry, and they allow for
review during free times without requiring that you take out books and notes. A
main topic or question is written on one side, the details, facts, or answer to the
question are written on the back (see example).
