Study Buddy

Just thought i’d put up some stuff that may or may not help IBCoM students with your studies. I make these notes because making notes is like DOUBLE remembering – reading AND writing! So, it’s only for myself. I just upload them because it just takes 1 minute and maybe some people might find it useful – you don’t need to say thanks! Also these probably shouldn’t be the only things that you study!

Will continually update as the course goes on over the next 3 years! ^_~

Lecture Notes – Just my lecture notes.

Chapter exercises – These are all the answers (except 1 that I couldn’t find) to the questions in the back of the course manual.
Lecture notes – Detailed notes from all the lectures EXCEPT lecture 5 (which I missed). If anyone has notes from this lecture please share! :)

CM1001 – Introduction to Human Communication:
Summary from 2nd year student – Please note, this is NOT my summary and only links to the blog of another student. But it’s an awesome summary, covers most of what will be tested.
Supplementary summary – This contains the stuff that’s left out (that was mentioned in the “key terms” sheet) from the one from Yan1ck’s blog.

CM1002 – Introduction to Social Science Research:
Chapter and lecture summary – This is what was covered in the lectures, elaborated with information from the chapters. 25 pages. Also some exam tips at the end.
45 “Test Questions” – I think if you can do these, you are READY! They are based on what has been mentioned in the classes and lectures which is what I believe we will be examined on.

  • It helps if you turn on the navigation bar in word too, so you can quickly navigate between the headings of the things you need to study.
