My Project Presentation

LSK 185

Tobias Ohrstrom

Goal

• To improve my exam marks throughout the semester

• To stay focused in class

Background

• I have always procrastinated my work

• Even during class I do not stay focused since know that I can do my homework later on

When I started this project I knew my exam marks could be much higher if I changed my way of studying

Statement of work

The study skills I used during this project were:

• To prepare for exams much earlier

• Take notes in class to focus• Review these notes within 24 hours • Use flashcards before tests• Make a study- schedule to organize time

Tasks

• Take notes during class (focus)

• Use these notes to prepare for tests (exam marks)

• Make study- schedule (organize time)

Deliverables

This is what I turned in to the constructor:

Lecture notes

Time schedule

Flash cards

Exam marks

Schedule/Work effort

• Since I have to be at study hall 10 hours each week I have had a lot of time to use and try these new strategies

• I would guess that I have spent around 5 hours each week on this project (except all the class periods where I have taken notes)

• This means that I have spent about 50 hours on this project

• This project has not added anything to my study load. As a matter of fact I think I have earned time

• The reviewing of my class notes and the flashcards have been very helpful tools

Evaluation

• I am very happy with the results of this projects, since I my exams marks (compared to class ave.) have been better and better throughout the whole semester

• The only thing I would do differently If I hade to do this project again is to review my lecture notes even more often

• The time schedule really helped to get things done. I have not used a calendar for years before this…

• I will probably continue using all these methods in the future

That was it
