How to Take On College Studying

Part 3

Do The Reading

You need more than just 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 have read.
