information will be included.� Slack said looking over old tests and quizzes and knowing what a professor usually looks for will help with question predictions, allowing students to concentrate on important information. Memorizing and understanding the information is a different matter. Joel McGee, another director for the Academic Success Center, said active studying is the best for comprehending material and preparing for tests and quizzes. “You can’t just be passive and look over notes,� McGee said. “You need to take the information and put it into a different format.� McGee recommended supplementary instruction sessions, rewriting notes and group activities for this type of studying, as it encourages thinking and understanding in more complexity. “If the test is going to be at a high level, the studying has to be at a high level,� McGee said.

Olin Boyd, sophomore mechanical engineering major, studies in the MSC Flag Room tuesday evening for his calculus III exam routines. McGee said cramming isn’t an effective way to absorb material. He said when students pace themselves, they not only get an idea of how well they know material, but it allows them time to go to professors and tutors for help in case they need it. Senior biochemistry major Isabel Jarvis said she plans ahead for tests and quizzes and divides study time up over several days. “I usually make a study guide,� Jarvis said. “I look at my planner and think about how many days I need to study based on difficulty.� Sacks also said preparing for lectures and reading before classes are other great ways of
studying for tests because it improves note taking and understanding of material. “Doing pre-reading and a little upfront work allows you to listen more and write less,� Lyle said. “What you write will be more thorough on information.� Although studying can be a daunting task, good habits can help in making the process easier and more effective. From techniques as simple as rewriting notes to reading before class, these methods can be used together to make the most out of classes and study time, paving the way for higher grades and a better understanding of material.
Behind every great concept, moving image, visualization, or interactive experience There is an innovative digital artist.
M.S. in Advanced Digital Applications With the explosion of emerging technology and data-driven design, there is an increasing demand for artists who possess technical production skills and the intuition to use them most effectively for a broad array of projects. To compete and succeed, a deep understanding of digital media that includes the command of animated 2D graphics, 3D modeling and animation, visual effects integration with live-action footage, as well as hands-on experience with coding and mobile technologies, is required. The M.S. in Advanced Digital Applications offered by the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies Center for Advanced Digital Applications (CADA) prepares artists for the new digital frontier. Project collaborations, lectures by leading industry professionals, and internships at top production studios provide the basis for successful careers in digital visualization of data content that encompasses both new and traditional markets.
