My top 5 study tips

1Always aim to understand the underlying concepts for a deeper learning experience.

2Always ask yourself why something is the way it is. Is that strange symbol just a notational convention, or is it a logic jump that I'm not following?

3Always ask for help when you're stuck. Receiving a hint can help you view things in a different light.

4Work consistently throughout the semester so that the ideas stays in your long-term memory.

5Let the subject grow on you. When you spend time learning the material deeply, you begin to appreciate its nuances and why we study it.
