Welcome to Notes from Doulton

Knowing the material and knowing how to study it are two different things.

After years of working with Queen’s Commerce students, I’ve seen how much time can go into studying without students feeling any more prepared. Sometimes the missing piece is a concept. Sometimes it’s practice. Often, it’s knowing what to focus on next.

This is where I’ll share practical advice about studying, preparing for exams and working through the parts of your courses that tend to cause trouble.

You’ll find short explanations, common mistakes and specific things you can try in your next study session. My goal is to help you understand what you’re doing, use your time well and feel more confident tackling questions on your own.
