I like that we will be given a post-lecture study guide because I have a hard time creating my own questions and knowing what to review right after class. This will help me understand which concepts are more difficult for me to grasp so I can focus more on those. I can also see myself going back to them when I am reviewing for the midterms and the final to make sure I understand the concepts from one lecture before moving on to another lecture.

I agree that constant self testing is extremely important to ensuring you understand all the material covered. This allows you to figure out which concepts are your weakest and focus on those concepts more so that you don't fall behind when future topics build on previous ones. Even areas that you find easy will benefit from constant self testing because if you find a concept easy at one point, you might not study it as deeply, leading to you forgetting it. These active studying techniques, versus simply re-reading your notes, will help you retain more information in the long run, especially as we approach midterms because you have already been actively studying the material since you learned it and you won't need to rush to try to memorize all the information (which is almost impossible for BIS2A where you need to understand the processes, and not just vocabulary terms).
