Summary on improving the study effectiveness

On skill practice:

Phrases of the skill development:

1. Insufficient to finish the assignment
2. Uncompleted understanding but sufficient to finish the assignment
3. Completed logic within the unit
4. Integrate the unit into the big picture
5. Effective in applications
6. Accurate intuition

An excellent skill must satisfy the criteria of:

• Depth of thoughts: master the logic frameworks of the disciplines, especially the basic assumptions, the reasoning paradigm and the relationships among the knowledge and the others.
• Accurate intuition: apply the knowledge correctly under time limit and complicated context.

With my experience of exams, it seems that the depth and logic in analysis the case are OK, however it reveals some problems of answering the calculation questions accurately in tough time limitation.

Therefore, following should be done to improve the accuracy of the intuition:

• A summary of the content must be finished BEFORE the assignment. Never get familiar with the content through assignment which is just for practice and improving the skill.
• The practice of assignment must on the time pressure and require both the speed and the accuracy.
