Heather, My Former Teaching Assistant, Suggests...
When studying for a test in Interpersonal Communications, here are some helpful hints to help you do well:
---Make sure to have a good grasp on vocabulary used in the text, especially if mentioned multiple times in class
---Review the main headings in the text, if it was something discussed extensively in class, re-read the section in the text
---Skim through the Powerpoint notes discussed (and online) in class. Odds are, if they were put on those sheets, there is a large possibility of it returning on a test
*** On line, there are review questions with answers and page numbers of the answers. After reviewing the information for a while, try to answer the questions on line. If something still seems a little hazy, then you know you need to review it again. Pay close attention to the questions on line, more often than not, you could see them again on the test (hint hint).****
*** Most tests offer the possibility to fill answer another essay question for extra-credit@BY ALL MEANS GO FOR IT!! They can't hurt you, but they sure can make a difference, sometimes even between two different letter grades!!!***
