Memorizing Vocabulary

This is ear i am taking ECN 203. My professor told us numerous times that this course may sound easy but can easily be confusing. This class is easily confusing because of the large about of vocabulary that can mean many different words. I really didn't pay too much mind to my professor and thought that i would be okay in the class. After about the third class, I realized that my professor was right. I found myself very confused. I realized that I needed to make a change. I started to use the strategies that I learned in class an found myself starting to understand the class better. I found that two strategies really helped me in this class, recite it and write it. Recite it was extremely helpful. Each week me and my friend who is in the class discuss what we went over that week. This topic is very helpful and has helped me remember the information. After using the recite it strategy, I write down the information that I didn't know on index cards and study them. Using these two strategies has been extremely helpful for me and I plan on using them throughout the semester.

  1. The recite it strategy should be very effective if you're using flash cards. It makes it easier to remember terms and their definitions.
