*****WEEK FIVE UPDATE*****
Well, we just finished week four and my first week of torts. This week we do Contracts. I've come up with a bit of a rhythm now and it is working thus far. I do the following at the top of each week:
1. Plan - I take a look at the syllabus and calendar to see what is due (readings, topics discussed in class, outline updates, anything due) ... I literally write down in my planner what I have to do, etc.
2. Preview - I take the next 20 mins or so and actually skim over what the material is we are to cover. I don't read verbatim here - just skim so that I can be abreast of whats happening. I make ANKI cards for anything (terms) that are important that I cannot easily recall.
3. View - it is lecture time! I sit through the lecture either live or via the archive. I don't take extensive notes, unless it is something the Prof indicates is a MUST KNOW. Other than that, I pay attention and listen.
4. Review - The next day after class, I typically review the Barbri shorts on the topic in question. They offer full outlines and video reviews of all 1L courses.
5. Practice Test - I teach back! What I mean is my boyfriend is gracious enough to allow me to teach him back what I learned. If it is a concept I cant teach back,, that is something that needs to be on an ANKI card! And then, I repeat!!
6. Repeat
