1. Revise Lesson Notes

(cont as promised =))


This is a very important step. Unless this is your very first classroom lesson in a new semester, you would have attended a previous lesson.


Most students may attend a classroom lesson, finish their homework, and dump their books aside. Only the conscientious students will make the extra effort to revise their lesson notes. Why do they need to do that?


The reason is very simple. In a classroom setting, there are many distractions that may keep you from absorbing everything that your teacher may have said or written. Ideas and knowledge that were exchanged and discussed among you, your teacher and classmates might not be captured in writing. It is therefore always a good habit to revise your lesson notes.


You may be pleasantly surprised that as you do so, you may recall some ideas and knowledge that were exchanged and discussed in class. Write them down as you recall them. These supplementary notes could potentially increase your understanding of a lesson, as well as boost your test and exam scores should you be tested on them.


It is recommended that you revise your lesson notes within the day when you have had your lesson. This is because the lesson will be fresh in your memory and you will be more able to recall what happened.


As you revise your lesson notes, you may also have some questions about the lesson. Make a list of these questions. Armed with these questions, you may then approach your teacher for help in a private session.
