Better Grades 16
Text Provides Background For Classroom

' Newspaper Enlerpriae Ann.
We've just passed the halfway
point in our 30 articles, so let's
take a brief backward look to
see what we've covered. By
now, you should be developing
a point of view for each course
trying to find the purpose be
hind each course. You've stud
ied the instructor what are his
biases, what is he trying to ac-
. complish. You're trying to bring
your outside knowledge into
each course and are in the pro
cess of developing a course voi,
cabulary. By now, you've found
the proper environment, just the
right little cubbyhole where you
can study best, andiyou're budg
cting your time studying in
sports to help your memory.
You've overviewed the text
book, using the Table of Con
tents and Unit summaries, or
whatever other aids were avail
able. You overview each Unit
as you come to it, and finally,
you apply the "survey and re
survey" method to each text
book chapter. In connection with
the "survey and rcsurvey"
method, we've discussed maps
and graphs, memorization and
' the best ways to become an ac
tive reader.
' In this article, we'll see how
to use your studying at home to
make your class work easier
and vice versa.
If your teacher just follows
the textbook, you've no problem.
If you fall asleep in class, you
can always find all you need to
know in the textbook that night.
But most teachers just use the
text as a general guide; their
class lectures may concentrate
on points that are only briefly
mentioned in the book, if at all.
In a case like this, a little plan
ning can save you a lot of work.
Here's what you should do:
The night before the class,
survey the next textbook chap
ter a couple of times. Use the
bold print, the summary, the
maps and the graphs. Don't dig
into it too deeply just get a
general idea of what's in the
chapter and some idea of how
detailed the chapter is.
In class, the next day, you
need to take notes only on what
is not in the textbook. There's
no point in rewriting the text
book in class. A good overview
the night before (it takes only
10 minutes) will save a lot of
unnecessary scribbling during
class and will give you a
chance to really listen to the
teacher for a change.
Ideally then, your text will
provide the background that will
lot you take an intelligent part
in class discussions. If your
teacher marks for class partici
pation, work up questions on the
text the night before and bring
them up in class. Make sure
they're good questions; those
that are only time-wasters will
pull your mark down.
Briefly then: if your teacher
follows the text exactly, just
study the text. If he uses the
text for background, overview
the chapter the night before
class and tnke lecture notes only
on what is not in the text. And
use your overview of the chap
ter so you can shine in class
discussions.
