TRACK YOUR READINGS

Did You Know
 
Did you know that doing your readings before class will help you better understand the course material?

 

 

At the beginning of the semester, take a moment to gather all your readings and track them in one planner. Similar to your semester plan, all your readings for each of your classes will be organized in one planner, which will allow you to better schedule your time so that you don't forget.

Use your course outline to identify which chapters you have to read for each course on a weekly basis and put them into the 'Reading List' as shown below.
