"M.U.R.D.E.R."

A Study System

Study is nothing else

but a possession of the mind

Thomas Hobbes

1651 English









Mood:

Set a positive mood for yourself to study in.

Select the appropriate time, environment, and attitude



Understand:

Mark any information you don't understand in a particular unit;

Keep a focus on one unit or a manageable group of exercises



Recall:

After studying the unit,

stop and put what you have learned into your own words



Digest:

Go back to what you did not understand and reconsider the information;

Contact external expert sources (e.g., other books or an instructor) if you still cannot understand it



Expand:

In this step, ask three kinds of questions concerning the studied material:

If I could speak to the author, what questions would I ask or what criticism would I offer?

How could I apply this material to what I am interested in?

How could I make this information interesting and understandable to other students?



Review:

Go over the material you've covered,

Review what strategies helped you understand and/or retain information in the past and apply these to your current studies
There's always someone cooler than you

My math teacher always use to say:



In order to study.....you need to do as MANY practice questions as you can. By writing everything out...you study.

yeah....do this :



1. Go over your notes and how to do the problems and stuff

2. Look through some problems that you've already done

3. Do as many practice problems you can....and do the HARD ones too, so you'll be ready for the test!



GOOD LUCK



ps: that usually works for me... :D lol
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?

If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.


You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?

It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.
