10-second review: Quick identification of important points. Finish reading the paragraph, section or chapter before making notes. Be concise. Use your own words.
Title: How to Study in College. Third Edition. Walter Pauk. Boston
Summary: The author cautions not to underline too much or put rectangles around text too often or put frequent question marks in the margin. If you do, you will, for all intents and purposes, have to re-read the chapter.
Comment: An additional caution: Don’t write lengthy responses to ideas in your textbook. You will find that it will be work to re-read them, and you will sense how shallow they are when you read them at a later time. However, it is not a waste of time to write your reflections on the ideas of the chapter in your learning journal. What do the ideas mean to you? What questions do you have? RayS.
