How to Take on College Studying

Part 3

Do the reading.

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

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

·       Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest --- chapters, subsection, 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.

Choose the Right!!!
