• University is different than high school!

Lots of THINGS TO DO: CONCEPTS to understand ; CONTENT to memorize; Assignments, Midterms, Finals, Essays, Papers, Reports

MANY SOURCES of info: Online notes, Textbooks, Own class notes, Papers to read, Exercises; Lectures, Labs, Tutorials, …

Parents & teachers are not here to look out for you anymore!

All the cramming that was successful in the past won’t cut it at UBC!Don’t wait until the last minute to start your work

Page 16: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

• You lack perspective and

you do not see the BIG picture! • Therefore what you learn has no relevance to

your personal life and it is meaningless

Page 17: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

• Your organizational skills … not great!

→ Strategy for studying: inappropriate, rigid! → Time management: poor

Page 18: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

Page 19: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

REMEMBER!University is different than high school! Lots of THINGS TO DO

MANY SOURCES of info

What are the Foundation of all SUCCESSFUL

LEARNING STRATEGIES?

Page 44: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

At the end of the day, re-read & check your lecture notes.

Before starting a new chapter, scan-read it!

As soon as the teacher finishes a chapter, learn it! SYNTHESIZE Book + online notes + notes taken in class into YOUR FINAL PRODUCT

Do the homework teacher asks you! There are reasons for it!

FINAL PRODUCT -> If any holes -> see your prof / office hours -> what you use for your exam. -> keep it FOR MCAT OR DAT -> own learning style

Different courses => different study strategies

Review often!

Problem based courses: practice problems again and again and again and again and….

Preview: Pre-read chapters/topics to get the “big picture”

Don’t do overnight cramming

Page 45: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

The goal of any study strategy should be review

Information is rapidly forgotten – to counter this

you must convert short term memory into long term

memory

Other advice

Take courses that interest you!

No overload!

It’s okay to change plans

DON’T PROCRASTINATE

!

Be part of a community

Page 76: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

Other adviceMaximize productivity in

class

Do your best, don’t stress (too much…)

Don’t stop asking questionsDon’t beg for

marks Turn off MSN, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter

Help others Don’t be arrogant

DON’T PROCRASTINATE!

Use resources offered by UBC!

Page 77: 2- What grade did you get to be accepted at UBC?

Be exam smart: do the questions that are worth the most mark first.....

Other advice

DON’T PROCRASTINATE

!

Compare your note with your friend + explain to each other – if there is a difficult spot / deficiency when you explain /does not make sense – you will spot it.

Keep study group small – Good friends only!

When students take notes, sometime they make mistakes. Reviewing lecture notes with a buddy help spot them.

Do not read the answer key before doing problems. Of course it will make sense and you will think that think you can re-do them during the exam. You will not be able to do them ! Reviewing: Do exercises and questions as in exam: Blind (no look at the answers at least 24 hours before starting – timed - no external distraction.
