Ans: A, C, E, F
Feedback:
Studying content covered in class right after class helps reinforce the content and provides time to look up anything that is not clear in the text book, or write down a question to ask the instructor. The hardest class should be studied first, and the easiest subjects afterward. Practicing skills does reinforce the learning. Studying in the late evening before bedtime, an identified low-energy time, will not be as productive in retaining the content covered.. Taking a short break and incorporating physical activity will improve the ability to concentrate and remember content being studied. Scheduling time to attend a review offered by the instructor for a subject found to be difficult is an excellent way to help master the content.
