4 How are YOU Doing
5 Be Consistent & Plan Go to Class Exam Prep Use Resources Professor PAL Group Learning Sessions Tutoring Do Homework Self-Test Review Notes Daily Study Session(s)
6 Importance of Studying Daily Research on the rate of forgetting. After 20 MINUTES, nearly 50% of what was learned is forgotten After 1 DAY, nearly 66% is lost After 15 DAYS, 75% is lost After 2 DAYS, 69% is lost After 31 DAYS, 78% is lost
7 8-9 Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat ACCT 201 Stats class ACCT 201 Stats class ACCT Homework Stats homework ACCT homework Stats homework Study Stats 12-1 Study ACCT Study Stats Study Stats Study ACCT 1-2 Econ 202 Study ACCT Econ 202 Study Econ 2-3 Study ECON Econ Homework Study ECON Econ Homework 3-4
8 Approaching Math & ACCT Sequence of information is intentional Consistent Practice is key to understanding Aim to understand how to approach & finish a problem (apply) & why items are handled in a certain way Use the context of a problem to develop a solution (ex. recommendation to a company) Develop the habit of asking yourself, does my final answer make sense?
9 How to Approach Class Time Preview the material/chapter prior to class Take thorough notes in class Write down all steps & problems BE ACTIVE - participate & ask questions Volunteer answers
10 Taking ACCT Lecture Notes Include description of accounting rule & all related examples Write down everything the professor shows on board Listen for verbal conclusions & key points For multi-step problems, write the number & how the computation is performed
11 Always do the homework Use the time immediately after each class for homework or review Make lists of formulas & techniques to use later when you study for exams Read each problem carefully & underline key words & phrases Note problems you have trouble with & bring these questions to class or office hours Think about the WHY & GOAL of a problem Go to office hours, PAL group learning sessions, & tutoring
12 Review Notes within 24 Hours Read notes Fill in any gaps Rewrite/Reorganize notes Revisit things you didn t understand in lecture
13 4 Parts to a DAILY Study Session Set a Goal Focused, Active Study 1-2 minutes minutes Take a Break Review minutes 5 minutes
14 Consistently Study to Retain Info According to a study, students who Reviewed the material immediately after learning it Did periodic reviews able to retain about 80% of material after 2 months
15 Strategies for Studying Actively Rework in-class problems on separate piece of paper & check Write (in text) each step to solving a problem Work problems backwards to forwards Repeat aloud steps to solving problems Relate new information to YOU Break complex problems into parts Summarize each problem, concept, etc.
16 Active Study Strategies for ACCT Rework problems to understand how Develop an orderly methodology for solving problems (helps organize thoughts) Rework the homework & textbook self-tests & practice problems for review Work problems that involve all concepts Work problems backwards, forwards, & inside out
17 More Strategies for ACCT Look for patterns (rules used to solve homework/exam problems) Create a numbered list of summarized steps for working a problem Broad enough for use w/ different problems Specific enough to provide you w/ guidance Use list to work homework & text problems Modify list as needed
18 Self-Test Why Identify what you know & what you don t Train your brain to recall Self-Test How Rework problems from the text, lecture, & homework Teach the material to someone else Create & complete practice exams
19 How to Organize all of the Information Flash cards Running concept lists Flow charts 2,3, or 4 column notes Full page problem guide
20 Tackling Word Problems Sort out the information - Write out the problem in words you understand Draw a diagram or set up the information in a table Ask for clarity if confused about wording
21 Tips for Remembering & Retrieving Info For Symbols: Draw or visualize symbols as characters Flashcards & concept list Equations & Rules: Phonetic, visual, & other associations Flashcards & concept list Problem Solutions: FREQUENT written or verbal rehearsal & PRACTICE Solve forwards & backwards to store in LTM Create procedure cards Explain problem to someone else Mnemonics (FOIL) Relate to past experience Visual association Terms & Definitions: Highlight & focus on key words in definitions & associate key words to term Flashcards & 2-column concept lists
22 How to Use your Math Textbook Don t try to memorize everything in your text Use your textbook as a reference guide As you read, work the computations along with the book Write out & work the practice problems
23 How to Use your ACCT Textbook Use the index Read end-of-chapter questions Review charts & tables Note section headings Review chapter summary Lots of technical information its likely you ll need to read paragraphs a few times to understand
24 ACCT - Use the 4 Reads 1 st Skim the chapter before class (20 min.) 2 nd Do a Focused Reading (2-4 hours) - jot notes in margin, highlight - take notes - work each example by hand 3 rd Relevant Reading as you do homework, refer to related pages in text 4 th Review Reading complete right after topic covered in class - tie everything together -observe how chapter reflects concepts/principles
25 Rework Problems from a Different Angle 1) Review each practice problem 2) Consider how the concept could be presented differently (opposite, etc.) 3) Work the problem ex. if the problem reflects a loss situation, consider, how would I treat this if it were a gain situation?
26 ACCT Vocabulary Learn & understand the VOCAB Use your textbook to see how writers use each term in a paragraph/sentence Review the glossary
27 Additional Parts of the Equation (Class + HW + Notes + Study Sessions + Self-Test + Exam Prep) Using Resources = RESULTS Plan & use effective time management strategies Stay Motivated Use your resources Expect to spend more time on more challenging info Schedule study sessions at times when most productive Use wait time for review
28 And Definitely Don t Cram Aim to memorize answers Procrastinate Skip Class Wait to ask questions
