Unfortunately, I did not do as well as I had hoped for my first CIS Psychology exam. But I did receive the grade I deserved. This being said, I did not put forth any effort into studying for the test, and did poorly on the exam as I should. Now, I may not have failed which is always a relief, but I did not do as well as I wished I had. Throughout the unit, I did read all of the chapters, which are so dense, that for me just reading them is no longer enough for me to do well. In the past I have been able to retain most information indefinitely after one read through and I am also a fast reader which comes in handing for most classes. But these chapters were very and difficult, so the strategy I have been able to get by with for the past ten years is no longer in effect.
For the next exam, I do plan on actually studying. And to be more specific, I will watch the lectures (all of them), and reread portions of the chapters assigned. I will also make better use of the study guides and practice quizzes given to us. I started off the unit well going through the study guide and looking back on portions I missed, but I will just have to continue that pattern along further this time around. Hopefully I will do much better on this upcoming, unit test because I know what to expect and will be better prepared.
