I often ask students if they have any advice for the next students to take Meteorology. Here are their ideas:

Spring 2007

Sit in the front. Understand the notes, don’t just write them down. Go to every class. Be detailed in lab.

If you don’t know how to take good notes, drop right now! The class is more complex than you think—pay attention!

Don’t buy the book! Be prepared for a tough class, but you’ll do fine if you attend each day.

Anyone who says this class is hard is just saying that to scare you! It is fun and interesting and as long as you attend class regularly you will be fine!

Pay attention. Ask questions. Have fun. Class I what you make of it. Make it worthwhile.

Use your study guides and ask questions. Study group always helps.

Don’t miss class. Study your notes now.

Go to class. Study. Listen. It takes study time. Or you’ll fail.

If you are not descriptive in your writing, Ed will not be your friend. If you don’t find weather interesting, you are in for a long semester! Very complex. Don’t buy the book and STUDY!

Take notes, draw pictures in notes, show up for class, study with someone else in the course.

Attend EVERY class period and lab! Ask questions a lot. Pay attention in lecture or you’ll be lost.

Study basically every day, make sure to go through and understand everything. Ask questions. Ed doesn’t mind answering anything.

Study well in advance for tests. Don’t try to wing them!

The book is a good aid. I’d get it. Study on a consistent basis. Don’t slack! Don’t cram! Ask questions! Understand concepts before moving on.

Don’t get the book. Don’t procrastinate on going over the material. Look at it every day because then you really don’t have to study. Ed may be crazy sometimes, but all the advice he gives really helps. Show up to class…the beginning is hard, but the class gets more interesting!

Take good notes and study.

Just study your notes, try to come to class, if not get someone else’s notes, don’t buy the book. I never read the study guide or had the book and missed lecture about 6 times and studied for about an hour on the tests and got an A in the class.

Take notes on your study guides. Have a question? Just ask, what’s the worst that could happen?

If you have trouble, ask questions and get study partners. Be interested in weather and why it happens.

Don’t buy the book—it’s a waste—all tests are on his lecture. COME TO LECTURE or you will fall behind!!

Follow the study guides, take every note the instructor writes or says, pay attention and participate in labs!

Don’t buy the book. Ask a lot of questions if you don’t understand something.

Ask A LOT of questions. GO see professor during office hours. Attend every lecture!

Don’t buy the book, just go to the lectures. It’s much easier.

Go to class evry day, pay attention, take good notes, make friends in class.

Don’t buy the book unless you skip a lot. Work with the teacher he’s emotional and always right.

Ed is not as mean as he seems. He’s actually just like you and me.

Don’t buy the book, and keep very good notes. Attend class every day. Ask questions.

Have study guide out every class. He answers every question in order. You don’t need the book at all, just answer every question in the study guide and you’ll do fine. It’s not as horrible as some make it out to be. I liked it!

Fall 2006

Attend class. Do homework.

Show up to all lectures, it is the only way to know what will be on the test.

Find someone to study with for tests. It helps a lot.

Get a study group! A study buddy!

Book is not needed!

Lecture helps with study guides and tests.

Show up for lecture.

Write down all notes.

Study for tests.

After every couple of classes review yor notes. If you don’t understand something, go in early to class and find out vs. leaving it to the night before with lots of unanswered questions.

Always go to class.

Ask questions.

Come to each lab and lecture.

Take good notes.

Do assignments and don’t buy the book because I’ve never used it.

Come to class–don’t skip, you learn 95% in lecture.

Don’t procrastinate studying for tests—it shows!

Be sure to look over your notes the day or day after lecture to keep the material in your head, and keep you prepared for upcoming tests.

No textbooks needed.

Study sections as you receive them—not all at once the day before the test.

The book isn’t as bad as some say!

Take good notes. Make sure you add information to them.

Don’t just copy what was on the board because when you go back and read your notes they may not make sense.

Come to every class.

Ask questions.

Really look at and spend time with the study guides.

I use the book often. It helps explain things I didn’t understand in the lecture.

Go to the lectures. Many test questions come from the lecture, not the book.

Study. Take notes.

Be sure to take good notes. Don’t just write down what is on the board. Make sure you add your own notes to clarify what you are given.

You don’t need to buy the book!!

Go to class! Take notes! If you already have the book, use it!

Don’t miss lecture—the notes are important.

Write down all the notes on the board and all his examples.

Do the study guides because they work great for studying before tests.

Keep up on the work and the study gudies.

Pay attention and go to lecture.

Pay attention in lectures and apply what you have learned in real situations. It will give you a better understanding.

Remember, meteorology is not an exact science.

Buying a book is a good idea to really get extra help in learning the material, but it isn’t necessary.

You don’t need to buy the book.

Study before each test.

I would buy the book, be there for lecture, and write down almost everything.

Don’t skip lecture! If you miss one, borrow someone’s notes.

Do your study guides and memorize your notes.

Get the book—it helps.

Go to all the lectures!

Study after each class for at least 20 minutes.

Take time to watch weather on the news and go outside to compare.

Do assignments and review material.
