Thank you for joining us today for the lecture series of study orientation for freshmen. Today, we are going to talk about f
18、ive bad study habits. Have you ever wondered how you can bomb a test after studying for hours? A poor test result after many hours of faithful studying is a real confidence buster! If this happens to you, it“s possible that your current study habits are failing you! But you can turn it around. The p
19、rocess of learning is still a little mysterious, but studies do show that the most effective process for studying involves highly active behaviour over a period of time. In other words, to study effectively, you must read, draw, compare, memorize, and test yourself over time. The following study hab
20、its are least helpful when used alone. Firstly, taking linear notes. Linear notes are lecture notes that students take when they attempt to write down every word of a lecture. Linear notes occur when a student tries to write every word a lecturer says in sequence, like writing a rambling essay with
21、no paragraphs. You may be wondering: How can it be bad to capture every word of a lecture? It“s not bad to capture every word of a lecture, but it is bad to think you“re studying effectively if you don“t mess with your linear notes in some way. You must revisit your linear notes and make relationshi
22、ps from one section to another. You should draw arrows from one related word or concept to another, and make a lot of notes and examples in the margins. Now here comes our solution to this bad habit. To reinforce information and to make it sink in, you must also recreate all your class notes in anot
23、her form. You have to revisit the information and put it all into a chart or shrinking outline. Right before every new lecture, you should review your notes from days past and predict the next day“s material. You should reflect and make relationships between key concepts before you sit down for a ne
24、w lecture. You should prepare for your exams by creating a fill-in-the-blank test from your notes. Secondly, highlighting the book. Are you guilty of highlighter abuse? Reckless highlighting is the root cause for many bad test grades! Bright colours on a page make a big visual impact, so it seems li
25、ke a lot of good studying is going on when you read and highlight. Highlighting does make important information stand out on a page, but that doesn“t do you much good if you don“t do something active with that information. Reading highlighted words again and again is not active enough. Our solution
26、to this is to use the information you highlight to create a practice exam. Put highlighted words onto flashcards and practice until you know every term and concept. Identify key concepts and use them to create practice essay questions. You should also develop a colour-coded highlighting strategy. Hi
27、ghlight new words in one colour and new concepts in another, for example. You could also highlight separate topics according to a colour code for more impact. Thirdly, rewriting notes. Students rewrite notes under the assumption that repetition is good for memorization. Repetition is valuable as a f
28、irst step, but it“s not that effective all alone. You should rewrite your notes in the shrinking outline method, but follow up with self-testing methods. Better still, switch class notes with a classmate and create a practice exam from his/her notes. Exchange practice exams to test each other. Repea
29、t this process a few times until you are comfortable with the material. Fourthly, rereading the chapter. Students are often encouraged to re-read a chapter on the night before an exam to reinforce what they“ve learned. Rereading is a good tactic as a last step. Just like the other study habits menti
30、oned above, rereading is only one part of a puzzle. My advice is that make sure to use active steps like charts, shrinking outlines, and practice tests and follow up with rereading your chapter. Fifthly, memorizing definitions. Students spend a lot of time using flashcards to memorize definitions. T
31、his is a good study method, as long as it“s a first step in the process of learning. As students progress through the grade levels, they are expected to progress in cognitive skills. Once you“ve exited middle school, you can“t expect to do well in an exam by memorizing the definitions of terms. You
32、must learn to memorize a definition and then define the significance of the new vocabulary terms you encounter. If you“re in high school or college, you should be prepared to explain how terms are relevant in the subject, compare them to similar concepts, and explain why they matter at all. Here“s a
33、 real life example: 1. In middle school you might learn to memorize the definition of propaganda. 2. In high school you might encounter this as a term, but you“ll need to memorize the definition and learn to recognize propaganda materials from World War II and other times. 3. In college you should b
34、e able to define propaganda, come up with examples from the past and from today, and explain how propaganda has affected different societies at different times. Our solution to this is something like this: Once you have memorized the definitions of your terms, give yourself a short essay practice te
35、st. Make sure you are able to define a term and explain why it is significant. Be able to compare and contrast your term to other terms of similar significance. The act of testing and retesting yourself somehow makes the information stick. OK. I have explained five bad study habits and their solutio
36、ns to you. I am sure you will find your study efficient and effective if you follow our advice. Next time, we will discuss how to prepare for a college exam. 解析 讲座阐述了五个坏的学习习惯以及相应的解决办法。本题考查第一个坏习惯做线性笔记。因此本题填入 Taking linear notes。 填空项 1:_ (正确答案:every word)解析: every word解析 本题考查的是线性笔记的含义。讲座提到,线性笔记是指学生尝试把
