How to Take on College Studying

(Part 3)

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest chapters, subsections, or even paragraphs.

·         Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

Choose the Right!!!
