What is the best approach to studying textbooks? How to remember all the information and not get overwhelmed by it?

>> No.18690885

Take notes, and review them. Also, do the exercises to make sure that you got everything right. And preferably pick one with keys.

Most textbooks have the following organization within each chapter:
>Section headings
>Text
>Quick summary
>End of Chapter questions
I skim the questions, read the headings, read the end of chapter summary, and then the text.

if you can't remember everything you read it means you are dumb and won't make it. stick to video games

oh, and MAKE SURE to solve the questions afterwards. That is where you actually learn.

sure, you won't remember *everything* you read but you should remember at least 3/4 of it, and the rest of it if prompted

You must be fucking retarded. OP isn't talking about fiction. Those are textbooks, if people could do what you are saying they would be able to finish a uni semester in a month.

depends on the subject. if it's anything in the humanities, yeah you should be fine. OPs pic has actual subjects but I imagine since it's the /lit/ board he isn't involved in them

Do you realize that learning Philosophy isn't just memorizing facts and concepts?

>> No.18690945

>>18690933
that's exactly what learning is. practicing is different. THAT involves asking real questions, like: why is there something instead of nothing?
and: Hello Sir, can I please take your order?

That is just memorizing and also the reason why there is a different word called learning. You haven't even read OP's post, FFS, you are probably just speed reading all this shit and not even reading my posts properly. I don't care.

studying involves only learning what you need to do to ace an exam or interview. that's something totally different from learning. no, if you memorize a textbook you know much more than the course requires of you.

You should do yourself a favor and get a dictionary.

Check out pic related. I just started it the other day and about half way through, basically if you want to get something real out of a good book you need to put in real effort and activity. Check it out though don't take my word.

I first read everything carefully through to form a bigger picture and general understanding of the contents, then I read it all again, writing down notes of all of the key points with a paper and pen. It's a tedious job to do but it works really well for remembering everything for a test or an exam. It also helps if you manipulate yourself to feel interested in the topic no matter what it is. Then again I do not have to read that many course books as I mostly draw, paint, sew, weave, print, dye, and use CAD for my studies.

Also if there are those questions in the end of the chapter, DO reply to them.
