How to Take On College Studying

Part 3

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapter 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 word 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.
