Study Tables

One of the observations that faculty have made, here and elsewhere, is that many students have trouble organizing information. Each person organizes information in their own way, but some do it so that they can retrieve information more easily and see the patterns among items. Learning to see their patterns can help you solve problems that you have never seen before (e.g. test questions). Seeing how items are connected or related to one another is also important in helping you solve problems.

The following are blank tables that you can print out and use to keep track of some of the concepts, processes, or items that discuss throughout the semester. Print them out and fill them out throughout the semester either during a lecture or during the time you study after each lecture. Look back at them regularly to help you review and to see if you can think of new entries. Not sure if you are correct? E-mail your professor and ask. Think you have one we haven't thought of? E-mail your professor and ask.

Note: these tables are created using Adobe Acrobat so that they will print neatly.
