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

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

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