How to Study and Take Notes from a Textbook( help full tips for students)
1.READ ACTIVELY Whatever you do, do not curl up with your textbook on a cozy couch next to a roaring fire. You may have a comfortable afternoon, (and very likely a lovely nap) but you won’t remember much from your reading. The key to reading your textbooks is to read ACTIVELY. You need to DIGEST the material, with your mind engaged and processing what you are reading. Not only do you need to stay awake while you read, but you need to be ready to learn. Keep your energy up — get up and walk, run, dance every couple hours or whenever you start to feel sleepy. Keep a pen in your hand — keep your brain engaged and your body in an active position while you read Keep Post-it Notes ready — have Post-it Notes available for marking pages and highlighting passages 2. WRITE AS YOU READ The most important part of reading actively is writing. Taking notes while reading textbooks is not only important for creating study notes, but it increases memorization
