This service learning project was a great way to practice for myself good study habits and time management. Every time that I created a lesson, I was reviewing the material. After the first few sessions, I got in the habit of making notations in the margin of my book about key points, inadvertantly using the SQ4R plan. When I reviewed the material with my student, Nick, I was not only reviewing in an easy way, but it became symbiotic. Nick's feedback on some of the sections helped me to understand it better because he interpreted things in a different way. Seeing things from a different point of view helped my comprehension grow a little broader.
The most helpful section in this class was the section on test taking and educated guessing. It really built on the common sense survival skills that I already have aquired.
