| Day One |
After you have read and recited
the entire assignment related to a topic (such as assault), write
questions for those points you have highlighted/underlined in the margins.
If your method of recitation included note-taking in the left hand margins
of your notebook, write questions for the notes you have taken. |
| Day Two |
Page through the casebook and/or
your notebook to re-acquaint yourself with the important points. Cover
the right hand column of your casebook/note-book and orally ask yourself
the questions in the left hand margins. Orally recite or write the answers
from memory. Make "flash cards" for those questions which give you difficulty.
Develop mnemonic devices for material which need to be memorized. |
| Days Three, Four and Five |
Alternate between your flash cards and
notes and test yourself (orally or in writing) on the questions you formulated.
Make addtional flash cards if necessary. |
| Weekend |
Using the text and notebook,
make a Table of Contents - list all the topics and sub-topics you need
to know from the reading . From the Table of Contents, make a Study Sheet/
Spatial Map. Recite the information orally and in your own words as you
put the Study Sheet/Map together.
Now that you have consolidated all the
information you need for that chapter, periodically review the Sheet/Map
so that at test time you will not have to cram. |
