If you attend lectures and have difficulty paying attention to
what is being said:
- Before lectures, look over the notes of the previous lecture and
read the course material pertaining to the lecture.
- If you have questions about material from the previous class or
text, ask the instructor before class about them
- Resist distractions by sitting in front of the room and by focusing
on the instructor through listening and note taking
- Show outward interest during lectures (attentive expression and
posture) to self-motivate internal interest
- Take good notes! See Note taking
- When appropriate: ask a question, ask for more clarity, or engage an
instructor and the class in dialogue
- Schedule time to go over lecture material immediately after class;
Remember: Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours without review
- Schedule a weekly review for each course
