How to Take on College Studying

Part 3

 

Do the Reading
You need to do more than just read the chapter 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 word 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.
