Workshop Feedback from Students

  • "Many teachers tell you the same things-to study, to do your homework and to attend class. However, with most students it goes in one ear and out the other. Though, actually seeing it on paper and being evaluated on what areas of studying in general you need to work on really opens your eyes as to your problem areas."
  • "Math study skills improved my approach to studying mathematics and has shown me how crucial it is to make sure I stay on top of my work and am always caught up in class."
  • "It was my only math class in my life where we actually learned ways to study math. I learned to differentiate between my math mistakes on a test and since many of them were test taking, application, and misread directions mistakes, I tried to be more careful when I took my next exams."
  • "The math study skills in this class really helped me improve my approach in studying mathematics. I started writing down times when I was going to study math that week, and by following this approach, I was able to set aside other things because I knew that time needed to be dedicated to math."
  • "This class taught me a lot of things. I am now aware of the fact that I am a visual learner so I try to give myself visual examples and I don't get so nervous when taking tests anymore because I learned effective ways to relax."
  • "Math study skills told me exactly what I should not do that I was definitely doing for the last twenty years of my life. I learned to not study at the last possible minute (which made sense since I needed time to absorb the material), have a positive a positive attitude about math (I always hated it since it was just too complicated for me), and to not rush through a test since that is why I misread direction, which caused me to lose points for carelessness."
  • "I have also learned how to study better. I have made index cards which helps me remember specific terms. I have established a consistent study place. Since I need silence when I study, I've found a quiet room in my house."
  • "Math study skills has improved my approach in studying mathematics. I have started to study at least three days before an exam instead of the night before."
  • "A major point I'm taking away with me is to study with groups, because what I may not know, my classmate probably will. I also learned to actually read my text book; it's actually very helpful."
  • "My experience with math study skills motivated me to be more organized, to prioritize and use various methods to recall information."
  • "I learned how to take notes more effectively by recording key words and develop a glossary for the words. Another thing I learned was the importance of going over your test and fixing the errors that you made."
  • "My experience with math study skills in this class has improved my approach to studying mathematics. some examples are that to do well in a math class, you need to read and understand the syllabus, you have to read the math text book differently than you would any other textbook."
  • "I would work on a little bit of math every day after work, instead of piling all the homework the night before, like I had been doing."
