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 highlights—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

-         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

English, math, foreign language tips: For math, all I can say is do the problems assigned. It is the only way to practice and that’s really all it is for math. It’s the same for chemistry; if you do the practice problems you will understand the material so much better because those subjects are not just memorized like history, you need to be able to apply what you have learned in practice situations. As for English I am no longer taking it but I would say to leave myself plenty of time to write essays and papers. They take time to get all the information out of your head and onto the page, so don’t leave them until the last second.
