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.
