When
I need to learn information, like in a law class or something, I read
the text, then go through it again and make a detailed outline of the
text, then study the outline.
Lots of college students don't
read the text. In a serious class, this will get you a C, or a low B if
you're really lucky. In a stupid class, like women's studies, you
probably shouldn't bother doing any of the readings (that was my
experience recently, anyways..)
If I have to write a technical
essay, like for economics, I'll write down a bullet list of things I
want to say to make sure I thoroughly answer the question/explore the
topic. I then write the list in paragraph form.
Non-technical essays require you to be a good writer. I guess you can go to the writing center if you suck.
Do
your homework. When I start a class I learn how many points are
available in the class and then figure how many you can loose and still
get an A. For instance, if the class is worth 600 points you can lose
as many as 60 points and get an A. So, if you skip three homework
assignments worth 25points each, you've lost 75 points and cannot
possibly get an A in the class, just cause you missed 3 little
assignments that weren't even hard.
Writing outlines/reading the
text is possibly the best tip I can give. You'll learn as you write,
and it's less boring than staring at the same page for hours on end. |
