Before you study for an exam
Can I upload a whole textbook?
Check your right to upload it and your school policy; your own notes and permitted course handouts may be enough.
What if a practice answer conflicts with class notes?
Use the course source and ask the teacher about the conflict before memorizing it.
How do I know I understand the topic?
Explain a process from memory and solve a new example, rather than only recognizing a card.
