3. #4 Be an Active Reader  Be a text detective: ask your text good questions and it will yield good answers. #5 Participate in Study Groups  Share the load of reading and studying with other students – you will learn better by teaching them, and you will be exposed to ideas you didn’t come up with on your own. #6 Take Notes  Use the Cornell, outline, mapping or charting method to condense and synthesize reading, lectures and discussions.

4. #7 Organize your study materials  If you organize your materials as you proceed through a course, you will retrieve information with greater ease later. #8 Draft papers  Never turn in the first draft of a paper – always leave time to re-work it before your professor sees it. #9 Slow down on tests  Anxiety makes you skip over parts of questions. Read every word carefully. #10 Don’t replace protein with caffeine  Protein and complex carbohydrates are an energy source that won’t leave you jittery.
