    How to Study

    • Active studying: Focus on recalling information, not just recognizing it
    • Quiz yourself: Use note-taking, visuals (like using Napkin.ai ),or language models (such as ChatGPT) for generating questions
    • Avoid relying heavily on Google: Utilize course materials like the textbook, PowerPoint slides, peers, and lecture notes
    • Use writing and study groups: Review concepts with peers
    • Use flash cards: Create flashcards for terms, focusing on the meaning rather than just definitions
    • Quiz yourself on concept questions: Attempt answering concept questions without notes; review missed or unclear questions to understand the context better
    • Metacognitive study habits: Explore metacognitive techniques for improved learning strategies to enhance studying.
