Attend all class sessions ON TIME! You can’t know exactly what goes on in class
unless you are there Listening and participating in discussions is more
effective than reading someone else’s notes Read the book!
Read the sections to be covered in class beforehand. This will help you participate in class discussions.
Don’t expect to understand every new topic the first time you see it! This could lead to disappointment and frustration Understanding Math takes time Don’t give up the first time!!
Budget your time effectively Spend as much time as it takes for you to
master the material There is not set formula ▪ General Rule of Thumb: You should expect to
study 2-3 hours per week OUTSIDE of class for each unit of credit (3 credit course x 3 hours study time = 9 hours TOTAL)
Work problems every day!!! In math, this is the key to success!!! Answers to odd-numbered problems given
in back of textbook Ask questions as needed
Use resources available Seek help from instructor during office
hours Study groups with other classmates ▪ Beware—come prepared to participate. Having
someone else show you how to work a problem is NOT the same as working the problem yourself
