Mastering Series Identification: Tips for Recognizing Types of Series

[trajan22]

I just started studying series and I was curious if there is any way to recognize the types of series i.e.(harmonic, geometric, telescoping etc.) without writing out the first five or so parts of the series. What strategies do some of you use when identifying the types of series?
