  2. Take Control! • Make a list of everything you have to do. • Break your workload down into manageable chunks. • Give yourself planned study breaks.

  3. Divide the big tasks into smaller parts. • Do them one at a time. • Do them in order of importance. • Study for a short period, • then take a 20-minute break. Do this every week!

  7. Isolate the most important areas of the text. • Use the questions as a checklist. • Create a study guide and vocabulary list. • Develop questions for further study. • Eliminate reading you may not need to do.

  8. Make associations between what you are learning and what you already know. This male/female stuff reminds me of my dog Rufus and my cat Lovey.

  9. Don’t guess! Know! Test yourself. Teach somebody else. The best way to learn is to show it to someone.

  10. Form a study group. • Get a Tutor! • Explain what you are learning to family and friends. • Incorporate learning from one class into another. Use dialogue as a study tool!

  11. “Chunk” information into subsets. • Make graphs, charts, and visual organizers. • Use 3 x 5 flashcards. • Color code information.
