    HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY

    READING ON YOUR OWN


     Read headings, subheadings, graphs and diagrams
     Read the introduction and the conclusion to get an overall idea
    of what the author wants you to obtain from the content.
     Read the topic sentences of every paragraph.
     Then look at the questions specifically conceptual/fundamental
    questions.
     Read paragraph by paragraph the summarise
     Check what is missing from your summary then add it using a
    different colour (specifically a red pen)
     Then read the summary to check what is missing and answer
    lots and lots of practise questions.

    As you approach the reading, ask yourself the following questions:
    1. Why am I reading this?
    2. What do the title and subheadings suggest?
    3. What do I want to get from this reading?
    4. Is the aim to support my lecture notes or extend or elaborate
    existing
    information?
    5. How does this reading fit in with the objectives for my current
    module or
    set of lectures?
    6. How does this reading fit in with this week’s lecture(s)?
    7. Take notes that reflect the purpose of your reading.
     Is it best for you to read material which requires a high level
    of concentration in manageable chunks in the morning or at
    night, in other words when you are most alert?
     Taking breaks and reading in chunks it is very essential to
    increase productivity
     Make sure you take breaks in between
     Ensure that you have good light
     Make sure you are alone when you
    study and it is very quiet when you
    study please!!!!!!!!
    • Why am I reading the article or chapter?
    • How does it fit into this week’s lectures and look forward to next
    week’s
    lectures?
    • What assumptions arise from the title and subheadings?
    • What do I want to find out?
    • What terms or ideas do I want to have clarified?
    • Why do I need the information—for a lecture or an exam?
     Pay careful attention to words like FURTHERMORE,
    HOWEVER,FOR INSTANCE,FOR EXAMPLE,SIMILARLY etc…


    BEFORE LECTURES
     Know which topics will be covered
     Start doing research, dwell deeper in the topic
     Please go an extra mile
     Ask if you don’t understand the topic
     Goal is 100%
     Understand the topic far good and better than the lecture.
     Practice 80% of the questions
     Be fast and faster and DON’T FORGET TO SET A TIMER WHEN
    PRACTISING SINCE IT HELPS WITH TIME MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!
     Remember time is also part of the exam.

    DURING LECTURES
     Make sure that you write everything the lecture says, and as I
    said before make sure that you better than the lecture in terms
    of your knowledge.
     Leave lines in between sentences so that your work becomes
    neat
     Ensure that you write dates
     Put a question mark if you need more clarity or you don’t
    understand something
     If the textbook has the very same info do not re-write it again.
     Capitalise important information and highlight it if possible.
     Always preview the questions before lectures and after
    lectures to get used to how they ask the questions.

    After lectures
     Make sure you revise your notes and answer as many questions
    as possible
     Do not re-write the lectures notes
     Rather write them in your own words
    and pretend to explain to a five (5) year
    old child.

    Strategies to revise lecture


    • Cue cards
    • Master summary of notes
    • Diagrams
    • Study group
    • Concept maps
    • Post-it notes Lists
    • Tables
    • Equations

     After lectures always separate what you don’t understand


    and what you understood.
     Recall what you learnt in class before reviewing you notes
    to check your memory by writing down what the lecture
    said in class and pretending to be explaining to a five (5)
    year old child.
     Make use of diagrams and mind maps to condense
    information.
     Make sure that you practise concepts many times

    Creating a timetable
     Make sure you use the 123 spaced repetition to actively
    recall concepts
     DON’T JUST PUSH CONTENT, REVISE FROM TIME TO
    TIME.

    LAST TIPS
     Make sure you write notes in your own words!
