AI Thread Summary
Effective study methods for college finals include prioritizing good sleep, as being well-rested significantly enhances information retention. Reviewing challenging material right before bed can improve recall the next day. Typing up notes serves as a helpful refresher, but it's crucial to actively engage with the content while doing so to ensure understanding. The consensus leans towards studying alone rather than with classmates, as individual study can foster better focus and comprehension.

First of all, get a good nights sleep every single night. Being well rested will help you out a metric ton in retaining information (In my experience and opinion).

What works for me, is if I am having trouble with a certain type of problem, or having trouble remembering specific dates; I will save those until right before I go to bed. I will look at them, say them aloud, and maybe do a problem or two so I can understand the concept. When I wake up in the morning I will have a much better retention of the information.

Good luck mate.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
