Studying is something everyone does, whether it's studying for a class or a test or even studying to remember something for work. There are different ways to study and many key concepts to study. Studying is also difficult for some people because most don't know which learning concept they understand best. Landsberger (1996) states: “Before you begin your studies, take a few minutes to summarize some goals, gather what you will need, and think about an overall strategy for success. » Most people take notes to review the learning information they gather. Note taking is the main concept of the study. If the student doesn't have grades, what are they actually studying? Taking notes helps students remember everything they learned in class. According to O'Hara (2005), “taking notes involves active listening, as well as connecting and relating information to ideas you already know. » In high school, a chemistry teacher told his students to fold their papers in the direction of the hot dog, on one side they write their notes and on the other side they write their questions. She thought it would help her students study well if they looked for the answers to the questions they asked. There are several ways to take notes. The student can take notes in a simple way, just write everything down. The student can make their notes colorful and use different colored pens and highlighters to highlight the important things. A unique way for students to take notes is to record the teacher speaking. It all depends on the type of learner the learner is to know what style of notes suits them. Everyone knows that there are three types of learners: auditory, visual and kinesthetic. The best study strategy for auditory learners would be...... middle of paper...... the big day. So, as many can see, study skills are an important topic and there are many ways to study. Taking notes is the best way to go back and review the information obtained by the student. People learn content in so many ways that it all depends on the type of learner they are. Study groups are a good thing when the student is unfamiliar with the topic they are studying. But always remember that taking a test is an individual effort and not a group effort. Works Cited Chapman, P. (2007) Study Skills: A Teaching Program for Students in Schools and Colleges.
