Describe your weekly preparation plan. Be specific. What will you do each day of the week to prepare for this course?

I will participate in class activities during class. I will read the material ahead of time along with any assignments. Over the weekend I build a review/outline of the information and right before class I will refresh the information and come to class with any questions that I have so that I can attain all the knowledge I can.

Outline the study strategies that you will use to understand the material.

Explain the process you will follow if you do not understand a topic.

First I will see if I can answer my own questions through reviewing the book and asking my classmates, and then if I can’t come to an understanding, I will ask for assistance from you, the professor. Then after understanding, summarize in my own words the contents of the topic. This tends to help me improve and help me ensure my understanding.

Complete the following statement:
I will reach my goals in this course by coming and actively participating in class, being prepared for class by reading the material before class, asking questions to clarify any topic that I don’t understand completely, and completing the study strategies that I have previously outlined.
