Resource Spotlight  

HSTalks: The Business and Management Collection is a treasure trove of knowledge for business students and faculty.

Study Tip:  

 Instead of passively rereading your notes, actively test your knowledge. Try these techniques: 

  • Quiz Yourself: Create flashcards or use quiz apps to test your understanding. 
  • Teach Someone Else: Explaining concepts to others solidifies your grasp of the material. 
  • Practice Retrieval: Close your book and try to recall information without looking. 

Active recall helps you retain information more effectively and boosts your long-term memory.
