The following are some suggestions from former students of Antonio E.
Puente, Ph.D.:
- Come to every class.
- Pay close attention
to every aspect of class discussion.
- If you must miss a
class, you should contact Dr. Puente (if possible) prior to your
absence and ask him to record that day’s lecture for you (you provide
the recorder). The day you return, you should ask at least 2 students
in your class if you could copy their notes. Ask 2 students who do not
sit close to each other and preferably someone that you are aware has
a good understanding of what is going on in class.
- Tape the lectures
but do not use these tapes as a replacement for taking notes.
- Consider bringing
your laptop for taking notes
- Write down
everything you possibly can – if he says it then it is important and
you may see it on the exams.
- Do not underestimate
the content and breath of the course.
- Do not memorize your
notes – understand them.
- Be prepared to
think. This course requires you to think – these exams are not a
memory test but require you to think and apply your knowledge.
- Attend any study
session offered.
- Do not study old exams, use them to understand testing methods.
- Start on your paper
early; be creative; work on it regularly.
- Take advantage of
any extra credit opportunities (especially the out of town
conferences).
- If personal things
start getting in the way, discuss them with the professor in order
that your class performance can be understood and, if necessary, steps
taken to remedy the situation.
- Sign up for the list
serv as soon as possible.
- Realize that this
course about the development of your own history more than the
understanding of the history of psychology.
