Incorporate study in all your learning activities
Listening
- Prepare for lecture/podcast.
- Can’t do all the prior reading? Look at title, skim course notes.
- Sit where there are no distractions
- Immediately before, ‘prime’ by brainstorming the topic.
- Listen for cues: ‘the most important …’, ‘in summary…’ and signals e.g., repetition, modifications in tone, pitch and speed
- Taking notes in lectures helps listening.
