Study Tips
This is a place for study tips.
Many of these were sent to me by students from past classes. If you have a study tip you'd like to share, please email me and I will add it :)
- You can do it, and Chris can help!
- Don't look up answers; do things on your own and ask a human for help when you get stuck (PS. Chris thinks he's a human, so you could ask him).
- The best way to learn maths is to teach it. Make a study group, and work together whenever possible.
- Practice makes perfect! Do the practice problems; you learn maths by doing maths.
- Don't procrastinate! Set goals or make a to-do list for the class each day and make sure you achieve it.
- Take notes on the lectures, videos, and practice problems.
- Use GeoGebra to help visualize things when feasible.
