Trying to find ways to review concepts and terms brought up in class? The Library has some study aids that might be helpful!
Study aids are used to help you enhance your understanding of concepts taught in the classroom. While your notes and professor’s explanations should always be your primary source of information, study aids can help supplement your understanding and help you test your knowledge. And the Library has a plethora of these resources!
This week we are highlighting the Mastering series.
What is the “Mastering” series? The Mastering series are study aids designed to provide law students with tools to easily and efficiently master the substance and content of various law school courses.
Key features of the study aid include: a list of bulleted points that introduces each chapter by providing the reader with an overview of the material that will be covered; checkpoints at the end of each chapter for reviewing the key concepts; and a master checklist at the end of each book for reinforcing what has been covered.
The Library has Mastering titles available both in print and digitally.
The newest print editions are available in the Library’s Reserve Collection. To check one of these out, just ask at the Circulation Desk. All reserve copies are available for 2-hour check outs. Older editions, located in the Lower Level stacks, can be checked out for longer. If you would like help finding a copy, or would like to check one out remotely, don’t hesitate to ask! Email circulation@mitchellhamline.edu for more information.
