I usually can read through an assignment or assigned reading very quickly and understand the main idea very well. But when asked to recall specific information about the reading I sometimes struggle. One topic from the lesson that I have found helps me in my classes is highlighting important or very specific information while I am reading and then turning that information into flashcards for me to review later. I have found that doing this helps reinforce what I learned without having to reread the entire chapter or assignment. This method is especially useful for when I am writing a paper and need to recall specific information to include in my paper. The highlighting also makes it super easy to cite my resource after I am finished. On occasion i have used the highlighted information to create a mind map for the construction of a paper or for study materials for a potential writing portion of an exam. I have however been one that is bad about over highlighting if I am studying a topic that I am not confident in. I have found if I make myself read over it slower a second time and double check my highlighting choices I am able to make the content much more manageable.
