I Just Don’t Get It. Approaching Difficult Material Find more general sources to lead you in Check your lecture notes Form a study group Pool your reading Explain things to each other Ask your tutor

Lectures Provide a ‘frame of reference’ Good introduction to the topic Give clues as to what the lecturer thinks is important

Taking Notes Try and familiarise yourself with the topic before the lecture Is there a handout? It might be easier to annotate that Develop a personal shorthand Go over your note afterwards Correct errors and illegibility Add more detail Mindmap Have a system for organising and filing your notes

Taking Good Notes Leave lots of space for later thoughts and analysis Mark Key Concepts Colour Icons Highlighting Categories and Hierarchies Number the pages!

Reading Why? Greater depth of knowledge Organisation Reading lists Availability Sources Selection Understand the library Know why you are reading Method

Seminars Opportunity to find out what others think Practice supporting your position with reasoned argument Take notes Don’t be shy – everyone is nervous Be tolerant too!
