Tips To Pass AVIT 102 w/ Jered Lease

1) Don't bother with the readings, they are a waste of time. If you have time, you can skim them over before class

2) Be prepared to get randomly called on. Better yet, raise your hand to answer super easy questions so he will be less likely to call on you for more difficult questions

3) Before each class I recommend taking 15 minutes to review what you went over last class, because there will be a kahoot quiz on it

4) Don't stress too much over the kahoot quizzes. They aren't worth much credit anyways.

5) The assignments where you have to make your own test questions suck the most. It will take hours of your time. The best way to do these is to do a few questions each day

6) Do NOT sit in the front row if you don't want to be called on. He calls on everyone, but those in the front of the classroom are a more likely target

7) There are 7 blocks & exams I have rated them from MOST to LEAST difficult (you're welcome)

BLOCK 2: AERODYNAMICS, BLOCK 4: AIRSPACE, BLOCK 3: SYSTEMS, BLOCK 5: WEATHER, BLOCK 6: NAVIGATION, BLOCK 7: XC PLANNING, BLOCK 1: PREFLIGHT

8) In order to qualify to take the final exam, you need a first attempt exam average of 76% (So try not to fail more than 1 or 2 block exams)

9) Block exams will be made up of half of Prof. Lease's questions & half FAA questions. In order to do well on Prof. Lease's questions, refer back to the powerpoints and look up quizlets online-

Type in "AVIT 102 Block #" on quizlet. In order to do well on the FAA questions, take the FAA practice exam 4-5 times the week leading up to the exam, and memorize the answers

10) A lot of info you learn in ground school is applied in your flight training, so pay attention

11) This class isn't like a history class. You CANNOT just memorize the information, and forget it after the exam. Everything that comes after 102 builds off each other. Save your notes & assignments

12) Take advantage of his office hours and ask your CFI if you have any questions

13) If he tells you to write something down... It will probably be on the test

14) When it comes time to use the E6B and fill out nav logs, pay attention

15) If you have time, go through the powerpoint before class and take notes, so you can pay more attention to the lecture

Good Luck!
