The SQ3R method
I have always had trouble with concentration and remembering important facts. I have memorized things and then forgotten them. I have always used short term memory for my studies. After reading this chapter I have learned that there are numerous ways to remember facts. Since starting my classes here at Kaplan I have been taking notes while reading materials that have been assigned. I find that this makes it easy for me to review what the chapter is about. I am planning on using the SQ3R method for study. This should help with actually knowing what I read and helping me to retain what I read. I am using memory helpers now also. I try to get atleast 8 hours sleep a night. I set up a study area today where my computer and notebooks and other essentials are all in easy access. I have a lamp for good lighting. I plan on taking 5 min. breaks after every half hour of study to keep from getting fatigued. If I feel I need a longer break, I will take it. Proper diet is not even in my vocabulary, but starting today I am trying to eat 3 healthy meals a day. I am very positive about this venture so I feel that I will be very successful with my grades. I got off to a bad start that was beyond my control, but I am trying very hard to stay on top of things now.
