How to Take on College Studying


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.
