Posted on February 16, 2018February 16, 2018 by alaynaj2@illinois.eduHow do you study differently for technical vs non-technical classes? Alayna, Materials Science Engineering“I actually take a similar approach for both: my main form of studying is re-writing my in-class notes and making study sheets, which is effective for both types of classes.” Allisa, Civil Engineering“I’ve found that non-technical classes tend to require more memorization whereas technical classes require more problem-solving. I have made some pretty massive Quizlet sets for some of my general education classes.” Kaiya, chemical engineering“[For technical classes] I focus on why this thing is important, not just plus-and-chug.”
