Homework Suggestions |
|
|
1. |
Do the homework when it is assigned. |
|
2. |
When you work problems on homework, write out complete solutions, as if you were taking a test. Don't just scratch out a few lines and check the answer in the back of the book. |
|
3. |
Check your answers in the back of the book and during class time. If your answer is not right, rework the problem; don’t just do some mental gymnastics to convince yourself that you could get the correct answer. |
|
4. |
Mark the numbers of the problems on the top of your homework paper that you are unable to finish completely. Then get help on those problems by asking in class or seeking help individually from your instructor, a tutor, or a classmate. Be sure to ask the questions as they arise; don't wait until the day or two before the test. |
|
5. |
Place a star next to difficult problems on the homework. Then, near the exam data, spend extra time reviewing starred problems. |
| 6. | Keep an ongoing list of formulas and techniques to use later when you study for tests. |
