Assignment 4.1: Reflection.... (techniques, study process and accessibility)

I really don't have a technique when it comes to studying and have found it hard over the years I've been in school. It was pretty much read, take quick notes and highlight. That is it! Since we've gone over the SQ4R and diagonal process, it has made a difference on understanding each chapter. Although it's time consuming to know which process works best for me, I find it beneficial to know both. So if there are any more techniques, please comment below. I also want to pass it on to my kids when they start school.

So far, the SQ4R process is what I use now instead of the diagonal process. The SQ4R allows you to survey the chapter first and allows the reader to get an idea of what the topics going to be. If I find something interesting, I would read it and figure out what the chapter is all about. As you survey, I read through the main points, ask the question and look for the answer.

The only thing I don't like about this book is that it doesn't have a glossary on the back of the book. I find it very useful when looking up a particular word, however with this book, you would need to look through the index and then find the page for that word and its definition.
