In this document we are going to look at how to use the resources available to you in order to prepare properly for exams.
I will use our first quiz as the example. The chapters covered were 1-3, 6-7. This is material covering units, an overview of time and distance scales, the history of astronomy from the ancients through to the rise of modern astronomy, sky observing concepts, eclipse and calendars.

If you are following the instructions given in the "Study Hints" page below then you should be well prepared for the quizzes.

In the Table below you can see how the various resource materials are interrelated:
 
 

Text Chapter	Study Guide	Companion Book
1 - The Universe Appendices 1-2	Units and Scales
2 - History of Astronomy	History of Astronomy	Unit 1 - Precursors to Astronomy
3 - Rise of Modern Astronomy	Birth of Modern Astronomy	Unit 3 - The Copernican Revolution Conceptual Map 1 - The History of Astronomy
6 - The Sky & the Calendar	First sections of History... and Birth... guides	Unit 2 - Overview of the Sky
7 - Solar System/ Structure & Origin Appendix 3	Introduction to the  Solar System	Unit 7 - Overview of the Solar System

We can look at one of the versions of Quiz 1 below:
 

All of the highlighted items are terms, concepts, people or other things that were found in your text as bold type, in important terms lists of  the text or the companion book as well as the study guides. You can compare the highlighted terms in the quiz page images above with the highlighted terms in images of (a) the chapter summaries and terms lists, (b) the study guides and (c) the companion progress checklists and terms lists below.
 
 

Chapters	Chapter Summaries/Terms Lists	Study Guides	Companion Book
Ch. 1 Units & Scales	Appendices 1and 2 in text	Units & Scale Study Guide
Ch. 2 History of Astronomy
Ch. 3 Modern Synthesis
Ch. 6 Sky & Calendar
Ch. 7 Solar System		See beginnings of two of the study guides above  ("History of Astronomy" and "Rise of Modern Astronomy") for solar system terminology and the one for "Introduction to the Solar System" for terms relevant to the theories for the origin of the solar system.

After making your chapter outline and noting which terms are important by checkmarks each time they occur as boldface, in terms lists, study guides, etc. bring your notebook to class and note when I talk about the item. If there is a figure or table about it also note it with a check. When you use paractice quizzes from the tutorial sites you will see the same persons, places, ideas. Note those as checkmarks. After all this you will see that some things have many checksmarks. These will most certainly be the most important items that all professors of astronomy will expect you to know and understand. These will be then be most likely to show up on a quiz.
