  7. Continuous Process of Learning Phase One:Read or preview chapters to be covered in class… before class. Phase Two:Go to class- listen actively, take notes, participate. Phase Three:Review and process class notes as soon after class as possible. Phase Four: Incorporate intense study sessions. Repeat And… once a week,examine that whole week’s notes at once. This helps you get “the big picture” and connect ideas.
