    In medical school, yup this is how its done. Use the learning objectives as a guide, fish out all the juicy info as best as you can before class, listen in class and then after class go a bit deeper if needed. Great video

    I did this in my 3rd term of LVN school and went from a low B to all As, I will be doing this in my BSN program for sure!!

      So happy to hear that Anthony! This will be so helpful in the BSN program with all the reading you get, it will keep you laser focused on just the NEED TO KNOW to be a safe and competent nurse that does amazingly well on their exams.

    Woooow! Here I am 6 days out from the end of my semester and I'm just now finding this out. Thank God my accounting class has make ups for the next 6 days! I asked the Lord to help me and this is where He led me and I'm so glad He did! Definitely a new subscriber. I could only ever get one chapter read and now that I'm reading the objectives and the review I'm learning so much. I always skipped those parts and really tried to read line upon line. That is so stressful and makes you want to quit cause it's to much but THIS information and teaching people how to read effectively, especially a freshman, is pure gold and a tremendous help. God bless you! Keep up the good work!

    I know I am 9 years late but....... when I say this has saved me tremendously with my current class. This even helped with doing the review questions for my Med Tech classes. Thank you so much for keeping these videos. I have been taking notes from these videos. I kid you not the first two sentences has had all the info needed for my review questions. Rewriting the objectives in question form has helped me get the understanding of the chapters retaining what I've read. Thank you, thank you.

    Wow I'm glad I found this video. I used the technique, and I retain so much more information. With 4 classes I would just read the chapters like a newspaper falling asleep every 5 minutes or 3 minutes. I would never read the information on the sides and graphs, or "see figure blahblah". Using your technique I realized most of the needed information is on the sides, summaries, and end questions. My classes are much easier!! I have 5 now and I have combined this technique with Pomodoro. The crazy part is I can answer the learning objective questions without having to read the first 2 sentences in the paragraphs. School textbooks are one of the biggest known scams with fluff and filler haha. Thank you so much !! I'm going to breeze through the rest of the reading assignments.

      +Andre Cymose Wow this is amazing Andre. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I will have to mention the use of pomodoro with this technique in a future video. Thanks for reminding me of it.

    This is super practical and more efficient than the usual "pre-read and skim" approach. I really appreciate the way that you speak slowly and clearly for my college-bound English Language Learner students. Thank you, Clarissa!

    I had to do a book report once doing a similar method I made up. I got a good grade on it thank God, I was really worried about it, but I took too many classes that semester and had too many papers to write to spend more time on the book report. This is a better more comprehensive system.

    Like the read the first 2 sentences of the paragraph. It is amazing, as this is how I get my outline. Then I weed out the fluff.

    @stoicfloor 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Thank you very much! I am about to go to college and this information is probably going to help me a lot! Just subscribed:) I actually knew this strategy before but never tried it. I like to read from the beginning to end as it gives me the mystery. This is probably good for fiction books but not textbooks or non-fiction. I am going to change the way I read now. Thank you:)

    • @sherocksatcollege
      @sherocksatcollege  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for subscribing. You are so right, this strategy is perfect for textbooks while the read from beginning to end is best for fiction or literature class readings.

  • @charachoppel3116

    Guess you could do it this way if you want to pass your tests and exam. But if you want higher grades you've got to deep study and learn it all. Good as a base, though. My advice is to go to the register of terms in the back of the book. Information about terms are spread all over a chapter, or a book. And by consulting the register, you can bullet journal the terms from all pages where they are found and get a more complete picture. Don't forget to write the book page after all Bullet lines. You may also make so called Mind-Maps to simplify your learning. Bulky long texts are, in my opinion, making it hard to learn. As an active reader you must analyse the text and write down the facts that apply numbering them or sort them A, B, C etc. You ask questions and try to answer them by searching the text. I wish school book authors spared us that effort by doing all this beforehand in the book. It would make it so much easier.

    Peace sister. Better than great information. I am a firefighter and all the books, codes and city bla bla makes studying for my promotional exam dead boring. I use this strategy. Now I have cut down study time and retaining more information. I wish I would have done this while I was in college for 5yrs of my life many moons ago. But anywho thanks again.

    I'm an online student and I have to read and take notes on 13 chapters before Sunday when I have to take my end of course quiz and the paragraphs are split into section with a bold title above every paragraph. There are some italicized words in the reading but in Addiction and Substance abuse they do not have a section with objectives or key words like in all my other classes I'm going into my second year of college and my grade is a 97 but I'm very worried about this test and how much reading I have to do.

  • @sususan9
    @sususan9 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi teacher Clarissa! Thanks for sharing the reading strategy. :)
    By the way, does this reading strategy similar to SQ3R?
    I have a question. You told us to read objectives in order to know the need-to-know information in a chapter
    but at the same time, you're telling us to read first and second sentences of every paragraph in a chapter. So, when you said to read first & second sentences of every paragraph in a chapter, do you actually mean to read first & second sentences of every paragraph in a specific NEED-TO-KNOW section in a chapter? Please reply me. Thank you! I love you.
