10. Ques: 2. When to start studying for your
Exams?
Answer: From DAY-1 of each semester.
22. A good breakfast- gives you a
better start- Do u know???
Eating the right morning meal---
Can have a big impact on brainpower- Believe
me
A good breakfast- gives you a better start
Nuts, milk, and fresh fruit are great ways to
feed Brain-
23. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO FEED
YOUR BRAIN WHILE STUDYING?
25. ENERGY DRINK:
Miracle Juice- ABC
In case you need an Energy drink---
Go for the "Miracle Juice ABC"
The A stands for Apple-
B for Beetroot-
C is for Carrot,
blend all-
drink-
and energize your Brain
29. Eat Dark chocolate-
to improve your mood:
If you really need a quick mood-boost
Then dark chocolate (1 ounce) is especially
effective your brain.
Dark chocolate stimulates the production of
“endorphin”
A chemical in the brain-
that improves mood-
and makes you Happy and Fresh-
30. Drink chocolate milk every morning
Epi: a natural chemical-in Cocoa beans
A flavonoid found in cocoa beans---
Helps in the formation of long-term memory
Epi: an edible, natural chemical---
Associated with neural performance and
memory---
is found in Cocoa beans,
even in Green Tea.
31. GOD’s Pharmacy is Amazing
Remember to keep your body strong
If you want the Brain to be healthy
Instead of taking lots of pills (for sickness)
Why don't you go for "Allah's Pharmacy"
32. Boost your intelligence and
memory-
Include these food items in your diet-
1. Whole grains- Whole grains slowly release glucose in the bloodstream which keeps
you
mentally alert and increases your
concentration.
2. Blueberries- They improve memory
and delay short term memory loss.
3. Tomatoes- Tomatoes protects your
brain cells from getting damaged.
4. Pumpkin seeds- Full of zinc,
enhance memory and thinking capacity.
5. Broccoli- Packed with vitamin K,
broccoli enhances cognitive function and
improves brain power.
6. Nuts- A great source of vitamin E,
nuts prevent cognitive decline in the elderly.
33. Go Berries--- and Nuts---
Berries of all sort are good for memory
But top among all is Blueberry
All nuts, especially Walnuts, and Almonds.
These brain foods work best for memory-
(Walnuts help develop neuro-transmitters to
help Brain functions)
35. Consuming Caffeine?
Adenosine is a chemical that the brain releases
When the body needs to slow down nerve cell activity
It is a natural sedative that reminds us-we need to rest
(or sleep)---
When we consume caffeine, it blocks adenosine---
---and tricks the body, which is bad for your Brain-
Caffeine in Coffee may make you feel awake
But it can harm the brain a lot…
… if consumed regularly
38. Increase your MEMORY by
ROSEMARY
Do you plan to increase your MEMORY?
Make daily habit of ….
SNIFFING ROSEMARY
Rosemary has been associated
with memory enhancement
It can also be seeped in hot water….
….. to make tea.
In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Ophelia says,
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.”
43. Maths is the QUEEN of all Sciences
Mathematics is the science that deals with the
logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math
is all around us, in everything we do.
It is the building block for everything in our
daily lives, including mobile devices,
architecture (ancient and modern), arts,
movies, engineering, and even sports.
55. Time Management-
Learning how to manage my time effectively is the
only reason I am doing well in college. (A student)
Without time management, I would wind up with three
assignments all due the next day and with no hope of
getting all of them done. Doing that once or twice
would probably not kill your grade. Doing it all the time,
however, will eventually take its toll, especially as you
get into higher level classes. The main point of this is
to figure out what works best for you and stick with
it.
56.
57. Afraid of Maths?
Why are so many of our students so
mathematically afraid?
Why do so many of our children appear so
distant and so disinterested in so many
aspects of classroom mathematics?
Here are some of the reasons below:
58. Learning Math Issues:
1. Many students claim that there are too many
mathematics formulas to remember. This can
be a contributing factor to students' lack of
interest in classroom mathematics.
60. Try-
They enhance the storage and recall of
information contained in the memory.
e.g. VIBGYOR:
Violet; Indigo; Blue; Green; Yellow;
Orange; Red.
70. MATH Mnemonics- Example
Some People Have Curly Brown Hair
Through Proper Brushing
Now you look yourself on the Capital Letters
Sin x = P/H
Cos x = B/H
Tan x = P/B
Is there any simple way to remember the
Trigonometry formulas?
71. Go for Mental Maths- It sharpens
your mind- and saves your time
Avoid using Calculator
72. Say Bye to Calculator- Go for
mental Maths TRY THIS-
Nooooo…
It sharpens your mind.
73.
74.
75.
76.
77. Mathematics is too difficult?
2. Many students claim that mathematics is too
difficult and no matter how hard they try to
succeed at mathematics they are always
unsuccessful, therefore it does not make any
sense trying.
79. Please remember:
You ONLY loose when you give up///
You loose when you Actually think it’s
impossible-
Math is NOT Impossible-
It just needs Hard work- Practice, and a Lot of
Practice.
Sooooooooooooo…. Don’t give up.
83. Good study habits throughout the semester
make it easier to study for tests.
So…….
Start studying from
DAY 1
84. Studying Math is Different from
Studying Other Subjects
Math is learned by doing problems.
Do the homework. The problems help you
learn the formulas and techniques you do need
to know, as well as improve
your problem-solving prowess.
87. Each problem has its own characteristics and
it’s important to have solved it in numerous
ways before tackling the exam.
There is no escaping this reality, to do well in
a Maths exam you need to have solved a
LOT of mathematical problems beforehand.
88. Practice, Practice & More Practice
It is impossible to study Maths properly by just
reading and listening.
To study Maths you have to roll up your sleeves and
actually solve some problems. The more you
practice answering Maths problems, the better.
89.
90. Mathematics is not a spectator
sport
Actively watching your teacher solve
mathematical problems does have educational
benefits, but the most important advice is that
you will learn mathematics by doing
mathematics!
How?!
91. Do MATHS home work Regularly-
When you work problems on homework, write out
complete solutions, as if you were taking a test. Don't
just scratch out a few lines and check the answer in the
back of the book. If your answer is not right, rework the
problem; don't just do some mental gymnastics to
convince yourself that you could get the correct
answer. If you can't get the answer, get help.
The practice you get doing homework and
reviewing will make test problems easier to tackle.
95. Importance of Assignments?/?
YANBU UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
Computer Science & Engineering (CES)
Semester – 151, Academic Year 2015/16
Calculus – I (MATH 101)
Section –
Student Name:________________________________________ Student ID:
__________________
Total Marks: 15 Marks Obtained: _________
Instructor: Dr. Farhana Shaheen Date: 15/09/2015
96. Pace your Assignments:
Get an entire homework assignment done in one
sitting?
Learn how to pace your assignments – do a few
problems here, another few there.
That way, when it is the night before the assignment is
due, you either already have it done or at least have
most of the assignment done and it is not nearly as
much of a time crunch to finish it on time.
97. Work and Reward
Choose your Best Time of Day to Study-
Start out with the goal in mind- Like///
Complete Assignment?/Prepare for Quiz?/
Revise lectures?/ Work on other Projects?/
Then---
Set Amount of Time for Relaxation
98. Prepare Quick Review Notes-
To go through the night before the Exam.
Based on the important formulas/
Mnemonics
Highlights, etc.
99. AVOID SILLY MISTAKES
The only thing you need to do is to do your
Math problem correctly and within time, and
you can do this only by using shortcut
tricks.
101. While taking notes-
Highlight the basic concepts, and main
formulas.
Make a list of
important rules.
This will help you-
To prepare for
your Final Exams.
102. 4. Understand your Doubts
Sometimes you can get stuck trying to solve part of
a maths problem and find it difficult to move on to the
next stage.
It’s common for many students to skip this question
and continue on to the next. You should avoid doing
this and instead spend time trying to understand the
process of solving the problem.
Once you have grasped an understanding of the initial
problem, you can use this as a stepping stone to
progress to the remainder of the question.
103. Do’s---
Attend class every day and take complete
notes. Instructors formulate test questions
based on material and examples covered in
class as well as on those in the text.
DON'T: Skip class,
Arrive late,
or Leave early.
106. DON'T ….. Cram for tests
Cramming means "to study with
determination“ .
It is the practice of working intensively to
absorb large volumes of informational material
in short amounts of time.
It is often done by students in preparation for
upcoming exams, especially at the last minute.
107. DON'T Cram for tests
Cramming is often discouraged by educators
because the hurried coverage of material tends to
result in poor long-term retention of material, a
phenomenon often referred to as spacing effect.
Study regularly and constantly. Review for
tests. If you need to learn the material as you
are reviewing for a test, it is too late.
108. Cramming and Multitasking-
Cramming is a study technique that has been
used for decades for anything from short
quizzes to finals.
While cramming might be an easy option for
the BUSY student, it actually harms your
retention of knowledge and grades.
110. The worst effect of cramming
In a study done at UCLA, researchers determined
the worst effect of cramming is the lack of
sleep students subsequently get.
The longer you put off studying, the less time your
body will have to rest before a test, ultimately
exhausting your brain and lowering your chances
of doing well on an exam.
112. The worst effect of cramming is the
lack of sleep students
subsequently get?
113. A word of encouragement:
You're always reviewing previous material as
you do new material. Many of the ideas hang
together.
Identifying and learning the key concepts
means you don't have to memorize as much.
114. A word of warning:
Each class builds on the previous ones, all
semester long. You must keep up with the
Instructor:
Attend class, read the text and do homework
every day.
Falling a day behind puts you at a
disadvantage. Falling a week behind puts you
in deep trouble.
116. Active Study vs. Passive Study
Be actively involved in managing the learning
process, the mathematics and your study time:
Take responsibility for studying, recognizing
what you do and don't know, and knowing how
to get your Instructor to help you with what you
don't know.
117. Do’s---
Be an active participant in the classroom.
Get ahead in the book; try to work some of the
problems that are covered in class.
Anticipate what the Instructor's next step will
be.
118. Ask questions in class!
There are usually other students wanting to
know the answers to the same questions you
have.
119. Use the Resources You Have
Available
Ask questions in class. You get help and stay
actively involved in the class.
Visit the Instructor's Office Hours. Instructors
like to see students who want to help
themselves.
Go to the Math Help Sessions or other tutoring
sessions on campus.
120. Utilize your free hours:
Go to your teacher in the office hours to
solve your problems and ask questions.
The Instructor will be pleased to see that you
are interested, and you will be actively helping
yourself.
121. Do you know?
Teachers take interest in students-
who take interest in their subjects-
122. Form a study group
Meet once or twice a week (also use the
phone). Go over problems you've had trouble
with. Either someone else in the group will help
you, or you will discover you're all stuck on the
same problems. Then it's time to get help from
your Instructor.
The more challenging the material, the
more time you should spend on it.
123. Seek help from your classmates
Ask friends, members of your study group, or
anyone else who can help. The classmate who
explains something to you learns just as much
as you do, for he/she must think carefully about
how to explain the particular concept or
solution in a clear way.
So don't be reluctant to ask
a classmate.
125. Apply Maths to Real World
Problems
As much as possible, try to apply real-world
problems when approaching Maths.
Maths can be very abstract sometimes so
looking for a practical application can help
change your perspective and assimilate ideas
differently.
Probability, for example, can be used in
everyday life to predict the outcome of
something happening and determine whether
you want to take a risk such as if you should
126. IMPORTANCE OF GROUP STUDY
Share your knowledge with your fellow
classmates.
Try to remember
“BASIC MATHS
CONCEPTS”.
Know the “Basic Maths
Shortcut Tricks”.
127. Do’s & Don’ts---
You need to know how Fast n Quick/ Efficiently
you can do your Maths.
Efficiency comes from practicing maths
more and more.
But if you want to do your Math
problems faster than others, then
you need to know MATH Short Tricks.
131. Most important thing in competitive
Exam
We all know that the most important thing in
competitive Exam is Mathematics.
If you need a good score in Exam, then you
HAVE to score good in Mathematics.
You can get good score Only by practicing
more and more.
135. Be Confident-
Many students find mathematics difficult
because they “believe” they cannot solve the
exercises or understand the material, even
before they begin.
Approach mathematics and mathematical work
with confidence and a positive attitude – you
can do it!
136. Be Confident- Trust Allah!
Don’t forget that it’s also important to have
confidence in yourself and face the exam
knowing that you have prepared properly!
Always Remember: Nothing is difficult, only if
you know HOW///
