Studying - Ways to Take Notes & How To Read Effectively: A Guide

There are many methods: The Cornell Method, Outlining, Mapping and Charting

Moving on to how to read like super effective huhu

1. Decide how to read the text

First, decide what your goal is when you read the text: do you want to just scan it to find some specific bits of info? Or maybe get the general idea of the entire text? Or perhaps you need to understand it really, really well, so you need to read it closely? If you want to read effectively, this is the first step!

2. Summarize what you’ve just read

Summarize every couple of paragraphs (or however you want to break it down) so you know what you’re reading. Don’t copy the text or try to include every.single.word., but if there is something worth noting, then note it.

3. Take notes, but…

Again, don’t write down everything when you’re taking notes (here are some techniques!). This will take too much of your time and eventually the notes won’t be as good/detailed, because you’ll get super tired. Take notes if you see some information that is the reason why you’re reading the text. If it’s a key term that you don’t know and want to jot down, use your own words! That way you’ll know you understand what you read. It may seem a bit difficult to learn to take notes and read effectively at the same time. I know my first instinct is to write down everything I see because it all seems important. However, it’s the next thing that really helps to wrap it all up.

4. Reflect and Read Effectively

Reflect on your readings. It’s one thing to read and memorize word-by-word, but it’s another to analyze the text and think about it critically. Every once in a while, stop and ask yourself: what did you just read? What did you learn from it? What was useful to know? What do you disagree with? And what didn’t you understand? (Perhaps write that down and ask in class, btw)

I think we all have different reading methods, but sometimes I find it quite hard to remember the facts, think critically and analyze all at the same time. Some texts can be just super boring to read, while with others I forget that I have to take notes. The key is to determine why you read what you’re reading and what you need to get out it. After that (with a bit of practice, perhaps), it will be easy-peasy!

How to Deal with Toxic People

If you can’t escape the toxic people in your life, just:

1. Don’t allow them to manipulate you into acting in certain ways
(For example, don’t allow them to control you by being moody, demanding or rude.)

2. Don’t tip toe around them or live your life walking on egg shells.

3. Don’t make excuses for their bad behaviour or their inappropriate and over-the-top reactions.

4. Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself and to call things what they are (Often we are too polite to say anything, especially in social settings. However, that just perpetuates the situation, and keeps you feeling trapped and negative.)

5. Don’t allow them to play emotional games. For example, speak up when they are being rude and offensive by saying something like “Was it your intention to try to make me look bad when you said that?) Often a direct approach, especially in public, is very effective.

6. Establish personal boundaries. Do not allow other people to treat you in rude or disrespectful ways. Remember that we teach other people how to treat us!

7. Remember not to take things personally as it’s really about THEM, and not you.

Oh and this things have been on my mind since weeks ago

Ustazah R1: Lupakan kawan tu. Tolak ketepi. Dah takde masa dah. Biar je diorang. Lantak pi lah. Awak kena study untuk diri awak. Sekali je tau SPM ni?

Ustazah R2: Eh ajak lah kawan tu belajar sama-sama. Tak baik tau awak kata awak tak belajar dekat sekolah tapi dekat rumah awak belajar gila-gila punya and biar je kawan awak bodoh sorang-sorang. Ajak lah kawan

Ustazah R2? Bukan saya taknak ajak tapi penat lah ustazah. Diorang bukan nak dengar cakap saya pon. Saya kan bodoh. Bukan nak belagak tapi diorang sendiri macam tak percaya result saya meningkat from zero to something superb. Sorry lah ustazah, saya dah ajak diorang tapi diorang buat muka tahik dengan saya. So i decided to study hard plus smart at home by myself. Sorry.

Penat lah. Dengan folio addmath lagi. Group dengan boys pulak ya robb diorang pemalas tahap ape tah sampai semua gurls je nak kena buat TT_TT

im dying inside. Selamat malam semua! I cant wait to end this (undescribeable) year hahahah cannot wait!!!!!
