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: as 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.
