27 Retrieval Activity 2
Activity #R2: Study Methods
When we think of retrieving most of us think of testing, and when we think of testing, we think of studying.
Consider your go-to methods for studying. These questions will help you assess your typical methods for preparing and studying for a test. Use the blue arrow on the right side to move through the questions.
By understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, you can develop strategies to improve your retrieval skills and become a more effective long-term learner. Consider your responses to the questions above. If you are like many students, you may have answered that you often read and re-read your notes or a textbook as a major study method. You are also not alone if you often find yourself waiting until the last minute to prepare for an exam – a method that we often refer to as cramming!
