Title: how to learn the methods course in one week
Post by: melanie.dee on November 03, 2007, 01:09:22 pm
as above. while studying for another subject too.

iv done literally nothing all year. i was planning on getting 20 ish for methods. now i have fucked up english, i realise i need all the extra little points i can get.

where should i start? iv pretty much got no clue. except integration. i must have listened a bit for that. but i am so overwhelmed with other stuff to learn i do not knoww where to start ah ah

i pick up on things pretty quickly. i just havnt listened for an entire 2 years

is there hope?

hey melanie

dont stress, theres still time :) i slacked off in methods all last year until the exam was looming. then i worked my butt off lol.

figure out the parts you have trouble with and do exercises from your textbook for that part. tho I've realised it actually helps to work thru some practice exams with your textbook or notes next to you, cos i found textbook exercises were sometimes too easy depending which book you have. also you'd get exposure to exam type application qs (i did that for chem and learnt a helluva lot more than i would have if i'd just sat there and read my notes)

plus theres plenty of maths whizzes around here to help you :)  (i.e. not me. i dont remember a single thing from methods lol)

I am SOOO in the same boat... LOL.. I rarely even turned up to my classes coz my teacher literally sucked balls. I went to get help from her yesterday, and I showed her the question i was stuck with, and she looked at it, called it "gay" and couldn't work it out and moved on. >_>;

Hrmm .. I think it could be possible to do it in a week:

Sat: Functions, relations
Sun: Trig
Mon: Differentiation and applications of differentiation (ie. all those word problems)
Tue: Integration
Wed: Probability
Thu: Practice Exams
Fri: uh, hang out, play nintendo...

If you're going to do it by topic, it would be a good idea to do functions and relations and trig before you get into differentiation, because it'll make it a lot easier to understand. Also you should go over integration before you do probability because some probability questions need integration.

Just stick with exam questions, imo. My teacher told me that the exam questions would be better to study with rather than a text book.  What i was planning to do is read the whole text book first, then go throught the exam questions...... But...It's not exactly turning out the way i planned, seeing as I'm too lazy to do anything xD

And also....THEY COME IN PINEAPPLE... Omg, where have I BEEN~!!!!!

I never knew. But tbh, I don't like the bubble tea from Happy Cup. I prefer them from the market, you know the store that's plonked right in the middle of the market? LOL.. they also have the best Ice Coffee, even if 70% of the drink is ice and you pay three bucks for it xD

wow this really did go off topic haha. fair effort

anyway im going to go with the 'work through exam papers with notes' method. im doing a bit now, and considering the fact that iv not done a single exercise all year, im getting a few right.. must have subconciously absorbed a bit haha.

what i cant seem to do is TRIG. ahhhh at all. full stop. thinking i should go back to the start and learn this basics up?
