I have always found that the key to semi-effective cramming includes having a plan of action. As my first final is on Tuesday I need a plan to put into effect post haste. As this class is the one I have attended about 50% of the time I will rely heavily on both outlines and the codebook. The plan is as follows:
Today: Studying the general outline and short sheets from 9am until 4pm. From 4pm until about 7pm take a break that includes physical activity (i.e. stress relief) and going out to dinner (reminder: no alcohol--ok maybe one or two drinks). From 7pm until midnight there should be a repeat of the general outline reading and marking the rules in the rule book.
Saturday: Wake up at 8:45am to study. From 8:45 until 12:00pm study the rule book itself. Read the summaries of the most recent cases pertaining to those rules. From 12 until 1 take a break. From 1 until 7 study the class specific outline and make sure it coincides with the rules. Then watch the basketball game. Then study the short sheets until midnight.
Sunday: Group study session.
Monday: read the damn rule book again until I pass out.
Tuesday: Easily ace the multiple choice exam.
Sound good?
