Professor Tom Colby was very good at giving tips for taking midterms. He gave us all the necessary tools in order to answer questions on midterm exams. Professor Colby gave us a handout when we arrived that gave us an outline of how he wanted us to take the note for his presentation which was broken up by his slides on his powerpoint presentation. He gave us tips on how to organize study guides to make them easy to study one of the tips he gave us was to make one study guide for each topic. Through doing this it makes the information more fitted for an active learner then a passive learner. It also helps you to learn the information in a different way then it was taught. Professor Colby also gave us the advise that before going to take the test you should "rehearse" meaning do practice problems and do flash card and etc. Another thing I learned were some guidelines for true-false, multiple choice, and essay test. These guidelines are very helpful and defiantly useful to a college student. I found it very helpful that Professor Colby gave us examples through history questions and he also gave some personal experiences while he was grading essay test of what he was looking for. I would defiantly recommend people to go to at least one of his presentations because he knows what a students need to do in certain scenarios in order to succeed. These presentations are short and very informational I got a lot of information about test taking through on fifty minute presentation.
