00:00.000 --> 00:04.050
>> Course overview. The
learning objectives

00:04.050 --> 00:05.640
for this lesson
will be to review

00:05.640 --> 00:07.260
the supplemental
materials included

00:07.260 --> 00:08.730
with the course and to

00:08.730 --> 00:10.695
suggest some possible
study methods

00:10.695 --> 00:12.345
to help you retain
the information.

00:12.345 --> 00:14.880
It's a short lesson, but
it's a very crucial one,

00:14.880 --> 00:16.470
is that you may
find some tips to

00:16.470 --> 00:18.900
help you do better for the exam.

00:18.900 --> 00:21.345
What's included
with this course?

00:21.345 --> 00:23.505
There are links to
outside sources

00:23.505 --> 00:25.710
that may contain
additional information.

00:25.710 --> 00:27.435
Sometimes these may
be YouTube videos

00:27.435 --> 00:29.250
or even PDF documents.

00:29.250 --> 00:30.960
There's also a Quizlet set

00:30.960 --> 00:32.340
of flashcards that will contain

00:32.340 --> 00:35.565
acronyms and key terms
from the course.

00:35.565 --> 00:37.200
I use these before most of

00:37.200 --> 00:38.910
the exams I've taken
and I usually try to

00:38.910 --> 00:40.560
review them an hour ahead of

00:40.560 --> 00:43.220
time just to help
maybe those few terms

00:43.220 --> 00:44.840
that I didn't quite get into

00:44.840 --> 00:48.005
my head to help me set
those before the exam.

00:48.005 --> 00:50.000
There are also links
to other Cybrary

00:50.000 --> 00:52.070
resources such as labs.

00:52.070 --> 00:53.975
Finally, there are
review questions for

00:53.975 --> 00:55.370
each lesson and there are

00:55.370 --> 00:58.315
also challenged questions
for each module.

00:58.315 --> 01:00.865
How do you use this course?

01:00.865 --> 01:02.870
Each video takes
a small number of

01:02.870 --> 01:06.020
topics and breaks them
down even further.

01:06.020 --> 01:08.135
If there are
supplemental material

01:08.135 --> 01:09.515
for those particular items,

01:09.515 --> 01:11.435
they are provided
in the lessons.

01:11.435 --> 01:13.340
Review each video and make notes

01:13.340 --> 01:15.020
of what you don't
quite understand or

01:15.020 --> 01:16.430
get and ten use

01:16.430 --> 01:19.560
the supplemental material
to help you clear that up.

01:20.300 --> 01:23.145
The key is to be adaptable.

01:23.145 --> 01:26.380
Adapt this course to your
particular learning style.

01:26.380 --> 01:28.250
Everyone learns in
a different way.

01:28.250 --> 01:30.695
Some are able to
learn by reading,

01:30.695 --> 01:32.855
by listening, by
seeing, or by doing.

01:32.855 --> 01:34.985
You find the best way
that works for you.

01:34.985 --> 01:38.330
I've tried to give
enough information that

01:38.330 --> 01:39.995
is given in different
ways to help

01:39.995 --> 01:42.230
everyone that has
different learning styles.

01:42.230 --> 01:43.640
Figure out the best way to use

01:43.640 --> 01:46.055
this course and the
content to your advantage.

01:46.055 --> 01:48.335
You watch or do you want
to listen to the videos?

01:48.335 --> 01:49.940
You can actually
download them and

01:49.940 --> 01:52.265
then listen to them as
you go about your day.

01:52.265 --> 01:55.220
You might also want to make
your own flashcards for

01:55.220 --> 01:58.535
key concepts that aren't
quite sticking with you.

01:58.535 --> 02:00.650
I ended up doing this
for another exam where I

02:00.650 --> 02:02.660
took the last 20 items that

02:02.660 --> 02:04.550
I was having a hard
time with and then

02:04.550 --> 02:06.815
just flashed through those
several times a day,

02:06.815 --> 02:08.210
and like I mentioned before,

02:08.210 --> 02:10.250
I did this an hour
before the exam

02:10.250 --> 02:13.300
to help me keep those
items fresh in my head.

02:13.300 --> 02:16.190
Let's summarize. We covered

02:16.190 --> 02:18.200
the content included
with the course,

02:18.200 --> 02:20.405
and then I made some suggestions

02:20.405 --> 02:22.850
on how to make this
course work for you.

02:22.850 --> 02:26.190
I hope this lesson was
helpful and I'll see you.
