Studying

[Jehmias George]

Where do you go to get study tips or help with studying for class? I don't think just taking notes in class is helping me. I've talked to my professors. I've tried ANKI and quizlet. But the exams (I'm in Pharmacotherapeutics modules now) are not just memorizing facts. Are there social media groups? How can I get help?

Student Services helps with this. Flash cards helped me quite a bit (Anki) with the rote memorization. The other thing you can do is to ask the Pharmaceutical Sciences whether you can take a diagnostic exam on competency to see if there are background issues (I don't know my OChem well enough) that you may need to spend some time doing remedial work for.

Is Anki pretty effective? I’m studying for some stuff now and it seems clunky.

this is so individualized, people learn is so many different ways.
I used flashcards for organic chem reactions - good for rote memorization.
I always learned best when, after class, I would simply re-copy my notes (in a much more legible fashion) - for me writing commited it to memory better than just reading.
