In order to do well on the tests, consider the following methodology:   Read the text before class.  Come to class & take notes.  Begin review for the test several days (2 to 4) before the exam, allocating 2 hours at a time.  Review/ re-read the text & review your notes.  Yes, you will need to commit info to memory. Things to know:  Anything discussed in lecture may be on the test.  All the terms from all chapters & lectures.  Concepts from the chapters & lectures.  Theorists & which concepts they hold.  The text is self explanatory. Get a good night's sleep before the examine
Exam question types:  For the objective questions, you are responsible for all the material discussed in class, as well as that material in the book.  Fill In the Blanks usually require just a word, a phrase or or a brief explanation to answer. If they ask for examples, be sure & include those.
