red sox 777 02/13/12 2:25:00 AM #3:	Probably, but you'll probably get just as much value out of creating the sheet and not bringing it to the exam as you would from bringing it to the exam too. With so much info on there, there is precious little time to search through it during the exam. Though fortunately, the process of creating the notes will likely go a long way toward you remembering what's in them. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:787440] in if a profe...

Drakeryn 02/13/12 3:21:00 PM #11:	If he doesn't prohibit typed notes, then typed notes should be fine. Having said that, I'd personally handwrite it, because you can probably fit larger amounts of text on the page when you don't have to screw around with formatting in Word to avoid having white space gaps. -- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high <cite>Drakeryn posted [p:787448] in if a profe...

LordoftheMorons 02/13/12 3:26:00 PM #14:	You shouldn't really need more than a page of handwritten notes as a cheat sheet for a class; if you're writing more than that, either your handwriting is huge, or you're writing stuff that isn't really that important and is just going to slow you down while taking the test. Like redsox mentioned, though, the real value is in creating the sheet, as it forces you to review everything.

This. I TAed a course on Quantum Chemistry and it was horrifying to see people's cheat sheets. They'd write down these huge operators / wavefunctions that we'd obviously give them if we wanted them to use it, and they'd also write down things so simple that I can't imagine they wouldn't have known at that point. Really, the most useful part of an equation sheet is that it forces you to organize the different material in a logical way. This gets you thinking about underlying connections between different concepts and should help refresh everything as well as help you recall it during the exam. Then again, you're taking stats and chances are they've just given you all of the formulas for different distributions without motivating them so there's probably not much you can do but blindly put it on your sheet. -_- From: Menji76 \| #015 It's definitely helped a lot but have you taken statistics? It's a **ing pain to remember which equations go with which tests. Yeah, I took Probability Theory which was basically my stats course (took one of those too) except we had to understand where the distributions came from and how to tweak them to be more useful. No cheat sheets either. =P I came into the course hating stats since stats was a really boring and dry subject from the experience I had had in it, but once it was handled more rigorously it was a lot more satisfying since everything made so much more sense. -- No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck. <cite>Ness26 posted [p:787455] in if a profe...
