What are yours?
I've got a huge test on Monday that is in a class with no textbook only power points and science literature for reference (~50 peer reviewed articles; one is 70 pages long

). Questions will vary from any of the methods employed to general theory. I'm preparing by:
1. Reading the PP's
2. Looking up any referenced figures and reading the captions as well as surrounding information.
3. Writing questions about each slide so that I can memorize a lot of these answers later. (The only way you wouldn't have to memorize is if you had long term field experience)
4. Writing answers in a separate file.
5. Do two lectures at a time ~ 4 hours
6. Whore HAN - take a study break - ~1 hour
7. Repeat.
How many of you just read textbooks? Do example problems? Wing it?
