Review the Section
After you read a section, immediately go back, read it again, and draw attention to important words or phrases by highlighting, underlining, starring, or circling – whatever you need to do! Use a pencil if you plan to sell your textbook at the end of the course.
When marking the pages, be selective. A highlighter is a reading tool that helps you to focus; it is not a study tool. Drawing a yellow or blue box around unfamiliar words will not help you to remember the information.
