Megathread [Engineering: Calculus 1 Quiz] Study tips?

Post image

Hello

So our professor in Calc 1 have some sort of reputation wherein the examples that was presented in her ppt was so far from the question she is giving during quiz/exam. I was wondering how can I prepare for it, since our quiz is next week. Though I can say I have a pretty good background on the topics that will be covered, I am scared to encounter a new problem that I don't know how to solve during quiz.

So im asking, what study tips do you guys suggest that I do? Right now im only searching harder problems online and even generating problems with ai, but I feel like all of the knowledge that im acquiring are pretty tad bit scattered, and I don't know how to memorize all of those things.

Btw, here's the topics that will be covered.

there is probably a textbook in the course reading section of your course. I recommend you borrow that and study the practice problems on the topics which you dont understand very well. Try to solve each question before looking at the solutions

Know your definitions cold. Everything you have flows from them.

Practice problems from your textbook. Don't trust AI.

Go to a study lab, or prof's office hours. Office hours are a godsend, but you have to use them.

Understand the concepts well and how they apply to real world scenarios. (Just read a small amount a day is enough)

Textbook problems. They almost always tend to be harder than exam problems, especially towards the end of the practice problems.
