lecture techniques

it is important to always have a pen and a note pad in a lecture because quite frankly you only remember ten percent of what you might hear in a lecture. the moment you walk out of the lecture hall half of the things said go out the door with you. by having a note pad you have the chance to not only take notes but to put down things you might not have understood. this gives you a chance to clarify all misunderstandings before the 'big day' EXAMS!! while taking notes it would be a good idea to put down the topic and the important issues that go under that topic. key words and facts should also be noted as a combination of this will not only help with tests but with exams. taking notes reduces the stress level when its time for exams because by taking notes you are storing the information somewhere in your brain which you will find very easy to bring up when learning in the long run

another important thing is to get into the lecture hall at least 5 minutes before the time. if you come in late you lose the main idea and focus of what the lecturer is talking about. if that happens you might as well not come because coming late is equivalent to not coming to a lecture at all.

right now it very much possible to read on moodle the lecture notes before actually going to the lectures. when you understand something before hand the chances of you getting lost in the lecture are very slim. this is a very good way of getting a 100% from the lecture hall in the sense that once you have understood it follows you through out.

going to a lecture is very easy but its what you do when you get there that really matters. pay attention, write notes arrive early, if possible read the notes before hand and the stress level is reduced for you.
