How to Read Your Textbook: SQ3R Method

Before you read, survey the chapters:

Title, headings, subheadings

Captions under pictures, charts, graphs, maps

Review questions and study guides

Read introductory and concluding paragraphs

Read summaries

Questions while you are surveying:

Turn titles, headings, and subheadings into questions

Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading

Ask yourself, “what did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?”

Ask yourself, “what do I already know about this subject/chapter?”

When you begin to read:

Look for answers to the questions you raised in the previous steps

Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides

Reread captions under pictures, graphs, charts, and maps

Note all the underlined, italicized, and bold printed words or phrases

Study graphic aids (maps, charts, graphs, pictures, etc.)

Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages

Stop and reread parts that are unclear or confusing

Read only a section at a time and recite after each section (how to recite below)

Recite after you’ve read a section:

Ask yourself questions out loud about what you have just read, or summarize (in your own words) what you read

Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words

Underline or highlight important points you’ve just read

Reciting: the more of your sense you use, the more likely you are to remember what you read

seeing = reading, saying = asking questions or summarizing aloud, hearing = you answering your questions aloud

Review:

Reviewing is an ongoing process

80% of information is lost within 24 hours, but if you continue to review you will remember more for class or for test day

Again I don’t take credit for this post. All of the above information is from a handout I picked up from my adviser’s office.

Re-blog if you would accept somebody you knew who came out as asexual

I’m honestly really curious to see how many people actually accept it. Because there are allot of people who don’t believe it’s real. Or at the least don’t accept it when somebody they know come out as asexual.
