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!!!
