It is
extremely important to
study,
and to practice, hand-solving problems, on a
regular basis.
Consistency of your efforts, will improve your
problem-solving skills.
In the
EIT
FE
exam
review, you will undergo, a rapid growth
process.
The more
regular and consistently that you
study,
the better, and faster this growth process will
be.
You will
see better results, if you
study,
in small
study-sessions
which are regularly spaced, rather than in large
study
sessions which are randomly spaced.
When you
study
in small
study-sessions
which are regularly spaced, every
study
session will build, on the previous session.
Your mind will retain technical information, in
short-term memory, for a 24 to 48 hour period.
After 48 hours, if you dont build on it, the
information decays rapidly.
So, try
not to have more than a 2 day spacing, in
between your
study
sessions.
If your
study
intervals are more than 2 days, you will start
to forget, and you will end up duplicating some
of your efforts from your last
study
session.
So, by
keeping your
study
intervals less than 2 days, your mind will
automatically transfer the information from
short-term memory to long-term memory.
You will be able to build up your skills much
faster, your studying will be much more
efficient, you will learn more, with less
efforts.
Ideally,
studying a little bit, everyday, is the best
study
schedule.
New,
EIT
FE
exam
review users, always report to us, with
amazement, how fast they grow, in their
problem-solving skills.
With every problem which you solve, your skills,
problem-solving speed, and confidence, will grow
incrementally.
Engineering material, can be very complex,and
overwhelming.
The
worst way to
study
this complex material, is to try to take in too
much information in a
study
session, and then compromise your retention,
with large intervals in between studying.
When you take in too much information, your mind
will not be able to process, and retain the
information.
When you
have large intervals beween
study
sessions, you allow the information to decay
rapidly.
In the
EIT
FE
exam
review, you follow, the 3 fundamental laws of
learning technical material.
1. you
absorb a limited amount of information, spending
around 2 hours per
study
session.
2. you keep your intervals between sessions,
short, less than 2 days.
3. in
the
study
session, you work the problems yourself, only
after you are given very efficient,
problem-solving procedures.
Your
study
sessions are structured this way.
You are first given a short mini-lecture, which
discusses a very efficient, problem solving
procedure.
Because the mini lecture is short, you stay
alert, and you absorb the information.
All your senses are engaged, you view the mini
lecture on the screen, you listen to
information, and at the same time, you have to
hand copy the procedure sheet.
Your vision. hearing. tactile senses, are all
engaged.
After the mini lecture, you are assigned a
simple, one star difficulty-level problem.
In this first problem, you only mimic the
problem-solving procedure, this gives you
confidence, and you start to become familiar
with the equations.
After you have hand solved the problem, you get
instant feedback, when we discuss the problem.
Because you just practiced with the information,
you will be focused, when we discuss the
problem, and in this ideal learning window, when
you are highly focused, we introduce another
packet of information.
You are then assigned more problems.
Each problem is stepped up in dificulty level,
incrementally.
After you hand solve each problem, we present
the solution, and we introduce another packet of
information.
This cycle continues, for 5 to 10 problems per
problem type, then we continue with the next
mini lecture, where we discuss the next logical
problem type.
In the
classroom, you will go through a start session,
which will train you how to work and
study
in the program.
