Finding the right space and time to read in is important
Find a comfortable and quiet place to read, where you will not be disturbed or interrupted.
Study in short chunks. Most people can only concentrate for about 15-20 minutes in one go. So read for short periods and complete other study tasks in between.
Pause for thought occasionally. Sometimes you need to check that you understand what you are studying and revisit any parts you have found difficult.
Work with other students. If you are not confident that you have understood something, discuss it with other students in tutorials, self-help groups and module forums.
