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 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.
