flashcardquestions ("peer instruction," "think-pair-share")
After not using the flashcard packets, I realized that studying them and filling them out really does improve my understanding of the subject.
I mean to keep printing out the Flash Card Notes to study them because it helps with Quizzes.
Read these through is extra review.
it really helps to study them, to help rememer what we learned in class.
Going over old quizzes and flashcard questions helps me review the material
By printing out the flashcard questions it allows me to keep on track while reading, and write down correct answers that we go over in class. This then makes it less confusing when I am trying to go back a few days and study.
Write down questions and answers from class
They give A great forecast for quizzes

I've found sometimes just reading from the textbook maybe dry and somewhat vague. So coming to lecture definitely helps to get a better grasp of the material.

read
reading the chapters of the book
I have this really bad habit of never touching my textbooks. I should really get over it.

procrastination
Usually after class I won't look at what we went over with the idea that I'll study it later before the quiz. If I want to fully understand the material I have to review it more frequently.
When I study for a quiz at the last minute I end up being really tired for the quiz or exam and end up not doing my best.
I intend to QUIT procrastinating and study even sooner so that Sunday studying isn't so intense. It hasn't hurt my performance, but it would be less stressful and allow more time for my brain to absorb all the information.
I tend to procrastinate in classes that don't assign daily homework or papers. I intend to spend more time studying for astronomy quizzes and exams.
My worst quality!
I tend to procrastinate in every class. I should change that... but I'll probably put off breaking that habit. :[
I keep waiting until the last second to do surveys and end up forgetting. I need to do them on Thursdays or something.
Stop procrastinating when it comes to studying for quizzes and midterms.

Printing out Flash Cards before class instead of after
Because a lot of the quizes and tests are just the same questions, but also since the packets cover just about everything we need to know regardless. Or at least hit the main points.
