KNOW YOURSELF BEGIN BY HONESTLY ASSESSING YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNE...
1. Know Yourself
Begin by honestly assessing your strengths and weaknesses in basic college skills—reading,
writing, listening,
and
mathematics—and study/work habits such as organization, time
management, concentration, listening, and note taking.
Next, identify your learning style preferences. Many factors affect learning, but consider whether you
learn most effectively by reading, by watching, by listening, or by doing? You must also become
familiar with your instructors teaching styles to help you adapt your learning style to the best
advantage.
In addition, consider when (Are you a morning person or a night owl?) and where (Do you
concentrate best in a bright room with noise or in a cozy, quiet corner?) you are at your best for
learning.
