If you have a strong preference for learning by Reading and Writing (R & W) learning you should use some or all of the following:
INTAKE
To take in the information
lists
headings
dictionairies
glossaries
definitions
handouts
textbooks
readings – library
lecture notes (verbatim)
lecturers who use words well and have lots of information in sentences and notes
essays
manuals (computing and laboratory)
SWOT – Study without tears
To make a learnable package:
Convert your lecture “notes” into a learnable package by reducing them (3:1).
Write out the words again and again.
Read your notes (silently) again and again.
Rewrite the ideas and principles into other words.
Organise any diagrams, graphs … into statements, e.g. “The trend is…”
Turn reactions, actions, diagrams, charts and flows into words.
Imagine your lists arranged in multiplechoice questions and distinguish each from each.
OUTPUT
To perform well in the examination:
Write exam answers.
Practice with multiple choice questions.
Write paragraphs, beginnings and endings.
Write your lists (a,b,c,d,1,2,3,4).
Arrange your words into hierarchies and points.
