It just happened - Gwendolyn just finished the last web-based test on her Nutrition course. She is now DONE and very happy that it is over. Her final average was 97.5%, which "should be good for a A".
This is her progress chart, now complete. As you can see, she is smiling!
For each of the 22 chapters (652 pages), which were grouped into 12 exams, she had a 7 step process to study as follows:
- Pull all material from the course web site
- Type up the vocabulary for the chapter and make entries in table of acronyms
- Take all of the teacher-provided materials (except lecture) and reformat into G's personal style. Then print .
- Take lecture, put into specially created word template - format using outline styles
- Read and highlight chapter, with the outline of the lecture open on the computer. Augment outline as necessary. Print.
- Review all printed material (i.e. actually study).
- Take test...
Each step gets colored in on the "control chart" - exhibit A. - Yellow for "in process", green for "done". Earned value, practices at home.
Congratulations, Gwendolyn!
