Week 3 already…
Are you consolidating your learning as you go?
Consolidating Learning (often known as Revision) should be a semester-long activity. Some successful students have reported that in addition to their ongoing study, when they reach Week 3 they start revising Week 1 material; when they reach Week 4 they start revising Week 2 material. Might this be a practice that you want to try?
Our advice is: –
- Start revision early i.e. now…
- Keep revising as you study – do little but often
- When you complete a topic, revise it – it can make it easier to learn the next topic
- Towards the end of a course, you’ll find that reviewing the material helps to bring everything together
Further guidance on consolidating learning/revision/exams is available in the ‘Revision and Exam Success’ module, Skills for Success, in Vision.
