How Do You Use It?

First I read the Terms and definitions that I find in the chapter. I set aside the terms I think are important and will be useful in the future. Then I Attend class and take notes as usual, but I pay particular attention to the words I set aside. Then I read my notes from class to make sure I fully understand what we went over. Next I Read the chapter to expand the knowledge I already have. I find this to be helpful because I need some previous knowledge, then it becomes easier to associate new thoughts with topics I already understand. The final step is creating Test questions. I made questions I thought may be on the next exam and answered them so that I can continue studying them.

How Did I Use It?

I used this strategy in my Human Sexuality class and my Religion 120 class. I made a list of the terms that were bold in my Human Sexuality book, then I simply went to class and listened for them. I read over the concepts in the book that expanded on what I heard in my lecture. I made some exam prep questions that I thought would be helpful for the terms I learned. I also used this method in my Religion 120 class, although there were not as many definitions there. I used this method for both and have found that it covers all areas of learning, for example I am an aural learner and a visual learning and I found this method to be very effective.

By the time that the class was over, I was able to define all of the terms I found previously and did so, to help with future studying. I don’t know if defining the words was necessarily a requirement for this method, but I found it to be helpful and a good visual way to study in the future. I found when we used the

Plug In Notes last week, that tying things out really helps me since I am a visual learning. Since I found this to be helpful, I typed up this weeks notes as well.
