The art of studying includes many other things
that probably you have not seriously considered up to now, for example: finding
an appropriate place where you can be free of any factor of distraction; making
sure the lighting in that place is good (*it is better to try to use the day
light as much as possible); getting used to withstand the temptation of
postponing the study; having next to the text some paper or notebooks to take
notes; etc.
Some of these things
can seem stupid, others not. However, if you recognize that they are important,
is enough. In effect, you need some help to do the things that seem a bit
stupid.
For example:
Can you read? This is stupid-you will
think-. Of course, you can read. However, have you ever reflected on the way
you read? So many people read so badly than, in comparison with the people that
read properly, they are considered practically illiterate. Have you ever
thought about how fast you read and how fast you could read? The same way, have
you ever thought about how many things you can remember from the text you just
read?
Most of the students cannot remember more than
half of what they've read.
Can you decide what is
the most convenient to remember from what you read?
Do you pay attention
and observe the reference sections that appear in between the texts?
What do you do when
you start reading a topic? (some students close the book or study text and do
something else)
How many times do you
read the same topic? How?...
Do you read the study
texts the same way you read a novel? If not, what is the difference?
Let's say these
questions are more than enough for now. The best students usually know them and
answer them correctly. We will analyze each of them in this guide, for you to
learn how to study.
