STEM Courses

  1. Read the section before coming to class, it would help. In class, ask lots of Qs.
  2. Keep on trying with hard problems: the answer will come sooner or later. Don't give up. Eventually the answers will come to you; if not, ask. Expect that you will get stuck on problems and need extra help.
  3. Maintain a list of hard problems in a separate or in the back of the notebook. Practice doing these problems over and over until you can write down the complete correct solution without any help.
  4. Strike middle ground between conceptualizing and practicing. They both draw upon each other to efficiency.
  5. Review by explaining challenging types of problems. (1) Get a blank sheet of paper (2) Explain the technique or concept from sheer recollection.
General pointers
  • two to four hours on each homework assignment
  • memorize formulas or definitions immediately
  • prepare for exams by working on new problems
  • focus on why when reviewing assessments
