"Patience goes a long way."

Emily M.

Chemistry

"If you get frustrated with one problem move on to another or take a break and come back to it later. It will be easier then."

Emily R.

Program Assistant, Physics

"Try not to get frustrated if you don't understand everything right away. A lot of things take reinforcement and practice to really be understood."

Evan

Economics

"Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful."

Gaurav

Chem BE

"Learning about fluids can open your eyes to a lot of different natural phenomena. More than you might expect."

Georges

Mathematics

Jerry

BME

"Organization is the key to success!"

Jessica L.

French

"Listen to French radio online for a few minutes every day. Start with the news. You already know what's going on in the world, so that will help you to figure out what they're talking about. Don't get discouraged if it's hard in the beginning; your ear needs time to adjust!"

Jessica C.

Chinese, Statistics

"Biology should be understood to a more detailed and complex level than what is taught in class for a thorough understanding"

Josh

Chemistry

"You cannot open a book without learning something."

Jonathan H.

Mathematics

"Work through every problem, one step at a time, and understand each step. If you do that, you understand the problem. If you understand the problem, you understand the material. And that was your goal to begin with, wasn't it?"

Julia

Economics

"Life's too short to be stressed. Have fun!"

Katia

Organic Chemistry

"Oxidants happen."

Kelsey

Chem BE

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."

Kutay

Chemistry

"What is called genius is the abundance of life and health."
-Henry David Thoreau

Molly

Economics

"In Microeconomics, it is helpful to make colorful graphs and study guides. Invest in a four-color pen."

Omar

Economics

"Review your notes after class the same day. You will be shocked how much easier it will be to go through the material when it comes down to study."

Patricia

Organic Chemistry

"You'll learn better if you live a balanced life."

Philomena

Physics

"One step at a time. We'll get there eventually."

Rebecca

Statistics

"3 out of 2 people struggle with Statistics."

Rohini

Neuroscience

"Try reorganizing your notes into charts and diagrams. This will help you recognize patterns and connections between different topics."

Sean

Mathematics

"Work the homework yourself. Even if the answer is in the back, try to get there on your own."

Shannon

German

"Repeatedly reviewing your vocabulary in the short term will build stronger connections in the part of your brain that eventually consolidates memories for the long term."

Tyler
