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.
