hahaha, be very thankful that you got study guides at all. when i was an engineering student, we never got study guides. professors would simply tell you the chapters that would be covered, and everything is fair game. but i proudly boast that i was the only engineer at UCLA that averaged over 9 hours sleep every night (except for the weekends, damn parties). the trick?? copying friends' homework (usually worth only 10% of your grade), and working on your test-taking skills, not necessarily your knowledge base. i've outscored many people who knew more material than me, simply by using common sense and the big fact that they studied ALL NIGHT and were mentally drained, while i was refreshed from having 10 hours sleep. its crazy how a fresh mind can deduce complex things...hope this tactic can give you an edge!!

ps: i agree, appreciate college while you can. being an adult sucks...

haha, well, yes, we do have a study guide, but my professor says that we should look at the lecture manual that she typed up (basically retyped the book), the class book, the handouts she gives, and the figures in addition to the study guide. so basically, EVERYTHING! and i usually don't study this heavily. i usually get a good amount of sleep. i guess the good side to this professor is that we do not have hw.
