- Mood:
Set a positive mood
for yourself to study in.
Select the appropriate time,
environment, and attitude
- Understand:
Mark any information you
don't understand in a
particular unit;
Keep a focus on one unit or a
manageable group of exercises
- Recall:
After studying the unit,
stop and put what you have learned into
your own words
- Digest:
Go back to what you did not
understand and reconsider
the information;
Contact external expert sources
(e.g., other books or an
instructor) if you still cannot
understand it
- Expand:
In this step, ask three
kinds of questions
concerning the studied material:
- If I could speak to the
author, what questions would I
ask or what criticism would I
offer?
- How could I apply this
material to what I am
interested in?
- How could I make this
information interesting and
understandable to other
students?
- Review:
Go over the material you've
covered,
Review what strategies helped you
understand and/or retain
information in the past and apply
these to your current studies
