Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who, and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·     Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·     Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read on section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

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 have learned from each assignment you read.

Part 3

Here are my final words of wisdom for student who may want to get better grades in college: A big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. It’s not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan your time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand, go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you. I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good luck!
