General Hints

Do's

Don'ts
1. Complete readings before lecture.
    Relate information from readings to clinical
    situations.		 1. Put off readings until before exams.
    Study from lecture handouts only -  information
    from your readings will appear on exams.    
2. A day or two after each lecture briefly review 
    your notes and readings then spend some quiet
    time (maybe while out for a walk) thinking
    about the material and how it applies to your
    experiences.		 2. Put each topic on the back burner until the
    exam or comprehensive exam.  This will make
    studying for exams overwhelming.
3. Keep an ongoing list of important information, 
    questions and clinical application notes in your
    notebook to check through as you near the
    comprehensive exam.		 3. Assume that you will remember important
    information.
4. See me if you think you need any help as soon 
    as possible.		 4. Put off asking questions until the last week of
    classes.

About  Exams

Purpose: Each unit exam will help you to organize and apply information to clinical

                   from lecture, seminar and clinical together.

Format: Unit exams = 50 multiple choice questions; Comprehensive = 100 questions

Level of Difficulty: Difficult to easy depending on how prepared you are.  If you follow
                                   the general hints above, you will find these exams moderate to easy.

                                    application.  There will be limited questions to reinforce you
                                    knowledge of psychiatric terminology.
