GPS 1200 -12002 Galen Pathway to Success
I have chosen to focus on my upcoming exam for GPS 1200 - Pathway to Success course. This course focuses on helping students create a successful life plan. One of the USLOs from this course is identifying and researching potential career paths and developing a career plan. I plan to use the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) study technique to prepare for this exam.
Survey
I will begin by surveying the material for the exam. That will give me an overall idea of the topics covered and what information I need to focus on (Hollins, 2019; Khan Academy, 2022). I will review the syllabus and any notes I have taken in the course to identify important topics and critical points.
Question
After surveying the material, I will create a list of questions I can answer about the topics. That will allow me to identify what I know and need to learn. It will also help me to focus my study time more efficiently.
Read
Once I have a list of questions, I will read through the material to find the answers. I will also utilize online resources such as websites, articles, and videos to understand the topics better.
Recite
After reading the material, I will then recite the information. That can include summarizing the main points I have read, creating flashcards, or explaining the material to someone else (Hollins, 2019; Khan Academy, 2022). Reciting the information will help me remember it better and recognize any areas I may need to review.
Review
Finally, I will review the material I have read and recited. That will help to reinforce my knowledge and to ensure that I understand the topics covered on the exam.
By utilizing the SQ3R study technique, I am confident I will be prepared for my upcoming exam. This technique will help me identify the topics I need to focus on and allow me to review the material efficiently and effectively.
