It is hard to look at all of the stuff you need to memorize and know and even being to start. So, I thought that I would say, if I get through the first set of slide sheets, then I can take a break and watch the next Gossip Girl episode (because I am so behind). This worked for a little bit, but then I realized that Gossip Girl was way to long to waste that much time when I should be studying. Instead, I started to go through each image, look it up in the book and use the slide sheets so write down all the possible information about each picture. This took so much time. I don't think I have ever looked at more, chairs, rooms, rugs, lamps, in one sitting. The problem with these tests is that, the professor doesn't give you facts that you just are supposed to memorize and know for the day. She really wants you to dig deep into the information and figure out all about the time period and era that this product was produced. Which basically makes the information you need to know seem endless.
After writing out all information on the back of the slide sheets, I wrote it out in my notebook so that I could easily organize it into the format of the test. I wrote down the designer, the title, the year it was made, the era is was produced in, and the key reasons why it is important to design history.
I have yet to finish all this work, but when I am done writing everything out, I am going to put them all on flashcards and hopefully be able to look through all of the information over and over again. Because I am visual learner, flashcards have really proven to be helpful to me, and writing the information out repetitively is useful for engraving the material in my head. This is a ton of work! Hopefully I won't be up till all hours trying to perfect all of information!
