The first step I took was to pace myself well I was reading. And when I would read quickly and not understand I would read the

Similarly in times when I would be having struggles to understand something being taught I would find it in my own power to go get clarification from any teacher dealing in that particular field of study. Thereafter, I would help others struggling with the same predicament so as to broaden my understanding at the same time share knowledge upon the same topic.

During any lecture classes, take notes. You don't have to write down everything that your teacher says. Try to synthesis the information and write down the big idea as well as important vocabulary words. You should be able to look back at your notes and fill in the details on your own. Learning how to take effective notes takes practice; don't get down on yourself if your first few attempts are not that helpful, just keep practicing.

T: Teach yourself about your topic-learn the basics-look up any words that you are not familiar with, next you may want to use tertiary sources, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, there is also excellent resources that we can use in the Kaplan library to help us with our topic, such as Credo reference or CQ Researcher.

Since some year round schools have multitrack calendars, the school

This is especially true for online classes. Simply sitting in class and listening to the professor (or accessing online materials) could be enough.

Then I read the chapter again, but this time I have made picture in my mind of the pages and I try to anticipate the terms and the concepts and my own examples for each concept before I read them. If I miss any, I jot them down again. Sometimes, I read the book backwards, sub-heading to sub-heading until I can see pretty much the whole

In order to master this skill I need to remember to use the SQ3R study technique. SQ3R stands for survey, question, read, recite and review. By surveying before I read it gives me an idea of what I am going to be reading about which will prepare my mind for what it is about take in. Asking questions and then answering them as I read will help information stick in my mind. When I read something, I need to remember not to get frustrated because I’m obviously not going to remember everything the first time. It’s okay to have to read things more than once. Also if I recite and review things over and over it will help me retain information as well. The more I use the SQ3R study technique the more comfortable I will become in reading. By doing this routinely it should help me improve my study skills and my academic success.

Year round school calendars aren’t the best idea we’ve had to improve our educational systems. This is just one of many ideas we’ve had. Year round schooling has affected families, students, and required maintenance in many negative ways.

Use each week’s questions as a self-test at the start of a new week to reflect on the previous week’s concepts. When you come across concepts that you are unfamiliar with, refer to the Student Guide for that particular week.

For Brianna, the key to understanding the content was outside of class. She recommends getting together with some classmates and "breaking up the material" into manageable pieces. She also noted that the amount of repetition from Dr. Karle was essential for memorizing information.

Before our actual class discussion we did a little preparing. This included looking up the definitions to several words and writing them down. If we didn’t understand what a statement was saying

Third, you should form a study group or develop self-study practice sessions. In your practice sessions, you should practice reviewing material that is emphasized for your test. Also, you should practice reviewing material that is presented in numbered lists that often provide the basis for essay and multiple-choice questions. For example, list thirteen vitamins, or list warning signs for heart disease. Moreover, practice answering questions or material with a lot of lecture or text coverage. Answer the questions you wrote in your text, and formulate essay questions and outline answers. While practicing, if you have any questions that you are unable to answer, consult your instructor to get the correct answers to study.

The third strategy is to ask as many questions as you can. You want to ask a question whenever you do not clearly understand everything. Also, asking questions that are not just on the surface to find deeper understandings.
