GEO 302C Study Guide

 
If you have scored less than 70%, especially less than 60% in Exam 1, please search for reasons. I advise you to ask yourselves the following questions:
 
  1. The materials are too difficult to understand;
  2. I am too busy to review the materials;
  3. The textbook is not helpful;
  4. I don't know where to find the online resources for the course;
  5. I never read the class materials;
  6. I seldom attend classes or labs.
  7. I never go to the office hours.
 
Here is a list of answers to the above questions:
 

  1. The materials are too difficult to understand;  

    Try to read the book before the class, attend the lecture and labs, review the materials after class, and ask me or TAs during the office hours.

     

  2. I am too busy to review the materials;

    learn to best manage your time.

     

  3. The textbook is not helpful;

    Tell me which part.

     

  4. I don't know where to find the online resources for the course;

    There is a wide variety of course materials available online, see Blackboard (courses.utexas.edu S05 Climate: Past, Present and Future) and the course homepage (www.geo.utexas.edu/courses/302c) where you can find tons of useful links.

     

  5. I never read the class materials;

    Tell me why?

     

  6. I seldom attend classes or labs;

    Tell me why?

     

  7. I never go to the office hours;

    Tell me why?
