Doing it My Way
Throughout this chapter, we have reviewed different strategies to help you commit the content in your textbooks to memory. Based on your learning preferences and your previous education experiences, you may have noticed what works best for you. This is where a reading plan comes into play . . . Below is an example of a personalized reading plan, using the strategies that we have practiced in this course. Note how the student has adapted the strategies to his own personal process.
