Tips from Business Peer Tutors
What to Do During Class
- Highlight topics/ideas that you found challenging so you can revisit them
- Try to take notes on the main ideas- you don’t want to miss what the teacher is saying because you are too busy writing
- Write down helpful examples and how they are solved in class
What to Do After Class
- Try practice problems on your own and then ask for help to see how much of the material you have retained
- Take full advantage of Wiley Plus/Pearson and what they have to offer
- Don’t wait until you have an assignment or exam to review the material from class
How to Prepare for Exams
- Don’t pull an all nighter- eat good food, get rest, and spread your studying out
- Make a list of topics you are struggling with so you can focus on that material
- Know how to use your calculator and Excel efficiently to not waste time during the exam
