Study Guide & Strategies
Paying Attention in the
classroom
If you attend lectures and
have difficulty paying attention to what is being said:
- Before lectures, look over the
notes of the previous lecture and read the course material
pertaining to the lecture.
- If you have questions about
material from the previous class or text, ask the instructor
before class about them
- Resist distractions by sitting in
front of the room and by focusing on the instructor through
listening and note taking
- Show outward interest during
lectures (attentive expression and posture) to self-motivate
internal interest
- Take good notes!
- When appropriate: ask a question,
ask for more clarity, or engage an instructor and the class in
dialogue
- Schedule time to go over lecture
material immediately after class;
Remember: Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours without review
- Schedule a weekly review for each
course
