How to Take on College Studying

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.
