Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Students have a weekly online reading assignment (hosted by SurveyMonkey.com), where they answer questions based on reading their textbook, material covered in previous lectures, opinion questions, and/or asking (anonymous) questions or making (anonymous) comments. Full credit is given for completing the online reading assignment before next week's lecture, regardless if whether their answers are correct/incorrect. Selected results/questions/comments are addressed by the instructor at the start of the following lecture.
Describe something notable that either helped or did not help with studying for this midterm. Selected comments may be discussed in class. (Graded for completion.)
The following are all of the student responses to this question, verbatim and unedited.
Student responses
Sections 70854, 70855, 73320
"I'm going to read over everything"
"Not having an answer key to the flash card questions."
"Working out practice problems is the most helpful way of studying for me."
"Past example problems are key."
"I need to read the assigned readings more throughly and do all of the assigned problems that way I have a better understanding when I get to class."
"It will help to get enough sleep because there are so many small conceptual things that one can make mistakes on if they aren't able to think clearly. For example making the delta y of something losing altitude a positive value."
"The example problems from class will definitely help me study."
"not doing the flipped class style"
"Not doing flipped class"
"Reviewing your notes and going through the midterm goals will help"
"Going over the quiz and flashcard questions will help while studying for this midterm but it would be better if we had the answers to the flashcard questions to check our work."
"POF-OST-ITO confuses me in such a way that I seem to understand Newton's Third Law less when attempting to use it."
"Going over a tricky part at least five times."
"F is for Facebook, if you're on Facebook while studying, you will get an F."
"group studying"
"I think having a study group and communication with the instructor has helped me prepare for the midterm. It just helps to discuss it or even explain it to someone else because it helps me know how much of what I've learned I actually understood and what I still needed to work on."
"Going over past midterm questions and what was posted on the calender helped"
"What will help: practice quizzes and flashcard questions. What will not help: no answer keys for many of the questions"
"The past midterm problems helped to study from and helped me understand what will be covered in the midterm on Wednesday."
"Split the studying time between days that way you are not overwhelmed trying to cram everything on the midterm a day before the test."
"Going over all the quiz 2 and 3, and do the chapters 1-5 review problems in the book. Also looking at your blog with other students answers will help to see what the short answer questions will be like"
"The POF-OST-ITO mnemonic has been a huge help with this section. I can't recommend using it enough. Doing just a quick brush up on my trig has helped a lot as well, since several parts of this section rely heavily on trig."
"Learning definitions."
"Always refer to the equations, and find your givens"
"Not studying won't help"
"a complete list of sections we covered so i don't have to go back through each individual week and look at what the reading assignments were for each week of the the 2 months since class began."
"I know I will be studying all the example problems and everything that is mentioned in the break down of the midterm."
"Something that would really help for studying would be sample problems that are similar to the ones that will be on the midterm or a study guide of main points to know."
"doing a whole lot of practice problems"
"COFFEE"
