How much is enough
• Online assignments are only for grading purpose.
• You need to do more exercises using the textbook as needed.

A Rule of Thumb
• Two hours study is needed for each hour in class.
• That is to say for a distance learning class, two hours should be spent for each section.

Before each test…
Before each test, you always prepare for it by– doing chapter reviews/practice tests in the
textbook– doing chapter reviews/practice tests online– review past exams if any– memorizing formulas
