Study Strategies
You should plan to set aside 12 hours each week for study of content. Use the
Lesson Objectives and Interaction Items to help you focus on the information to
learn. Many students find "flash cards" helpful for learning facts like
media purpose, interpretation, and organism identification. You still need
to spend additional time reading your text and reflecting on your
understanding of the material.
It's a good idea to spread your study time over several days (4 or 5). You
should also review the old material briefly prior to studying the new material.
This will help you retain this information, learn what you missed the first
time, and prepare for the comprehensive final and National Certifying Exam.
A brief break, every 20-30 minutes, will make this study time effective.
Use the on-line No Count Quizzes to access your learning prior
to the scheduled exams. Remember, you cannot learn this material overnight.
Please contact me for help. I want you to succeed and will answer your questions,
in order to assist your understanding of the material. Let's work together
to achieve our common goal of transforming you from a "civilian" to a Medical
Laboratory Technician.
Remember that you are not just studying for each exam, but will be expected
to recall the facts and use them to think and solve problems in the laboratory,
in years to come.
