Exam prep

This week I used anticipating test questions in two courses. I wrote in my notebook the subjects I had a question in, and where I got the questions. For example, my first question I wrote down was:
1: Philosophy- using syllabus- What is ethics?
I used the syllabus as a source, as well as from taking notes in class from the professors questions to the class. An example of professors questions is "What is operant conditional?" in the course Psychology 205 because it was something we went over in the lecture that day, as well as in the recitation later on that day, and my professor in the lecture said it would be on the test while he was going over it. I also used my questions as a source, where I would think of questions that I believed would be on the test due to how much they were brought up in class, or how much the material was used on the homework, or readings in the textbook. I like anticipating test questions as a exam prepatory strategy because it makes it very possible to know a lot of test questions by using these types of sources (syllabus, my questions, professors questions) to use as a study guide for exams.
