Be Smart, Use TART!!!

For this week, I am going to talk about my experience using TART. Because tart is well suited for lecture classes I used TART in my ECN 203 and PSC 121 classes. Both class are very definition based, and the course closely follows the textbook so this reading strategy has been extremely helpful.

For the first T - Terms, I reviewed all the key terms listed for the chapter before lecture, because they are going to be important and frequently used. For the second letter A - Attend, I would attend lecture. Because I was comfortable with the terms used often in lecture, class was much better for me. for the third letter R - Read, I completed the assigned reading. Because I already became familiar with the terms and learned about the material in lecture, the reading in the chapter also became easier. I didn't find myself re-reading things because I didn't understand it. And for the last T - Test, I made test questions, which is a great way to study for the tests.

In regards to Vars, I am a Reading / Writing learner. Reading the terms before lecture definitely helped me to learn the material. Same with reading the textbook Creating test questions helped me stdy for the test becasue I was writing the test questions and answers and then re-reading them while studying.
