Study Tips

This is a place for study tips.

Many of these were sent to me my students from past classes. If you have a study tip you'd like to share, please email me and I will add it here.

  1. You can do it, and Chris can help!
  2. 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).
  3. The best way to learn maths is to teach it. Make a study group, and work together whenever possible.
  4. Practice makes perfect! Do the practice problems; you learn maths by doing maths.
  5. Don't procrastinate! Set goals or make a to-do list for the class each day and make sure you achieve it.
  6. Take notes on the lectures, videos, and practice problems.
  7. Use GeoGebra to help visualize things when you can.
