chap-3 Remembering what you read
Memory is the process of storing and retrieving information and as in any process,successive steps or stages are essential for it to work.There are three stages in the memory process are sensory memory,short-term memory and long term memory.sensory memory-is the first stage in the memory process.New information enters your brain via your senses of taste,smell,sight,touch and hearing but your sensory memory retains this information only for a fraction of a second.
Short term memory-is the second stage in the memory process,like sensory memory it is temporary and limited in its' capacity.Information stays for about 20 to 30 seconds,but it can be stored in your short term memory for several minutes.
Long term memory-is the third and final stage in the memory process.Information cannot be permanently stored there until it has passed through both the sensory and short term memory stages.The most efficient way of storing information is to use such as organizing newly learned information,mastering difficult vocabulary ,connecting new information with information you already know,going beyond the textbook,reviewing and teaching the new information to someone else.Mnemonic are recall techniques that can help you retrieve information once it has been learned and stored properly

Evaluating Internet Resources
Accessing information from the Web is a skill you need to learn not only for college, but also for the world of work. As a reader and thinker, become an ‘open minded skeptic’ by considering each web site’s Relevancy, Reliability, Credibility and Accuracy using the following seven steps: 1. Know your purpose. 2. Double-check facts and sources. 3. Consider the source. 4. Evaluate content. 5. Determine intended audience. 6. Evaluate the writing. 7. Use what you already know

Reading beyond the Words
Critical reading means to asking and answering questions about your reading material at all level thinking. Bloom’s taxonomy lists six levels of critical thinking –knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation- that you can use to deepen your understanding of textbook material. By creating and answering questions at each of these levels, you will be better able to predict the kind of questions your instructor will ask on an exam and better prepared to answer them.

Identifying and Evaluating Arguments
Arguments are the logical structures that people use when they write and speak to present ideas and persuade others to support those ideas.An argument consists of two or more statements that include one conclusion and at least one reason that support it. When you find an argument, you should break it down into its constituent parts so that you can determine whether it is well founded and logical. Arguments can be evaluated using specific critical including determining dependability, distinguishing fact from opinion, and detecting fallacies.There are two primary types of arguments, deductive and inductive. Deductive arguments are judged as either being true or false. If the premise or premises of a deductive argument are true, then the conclusion is true. An inductive argument begins with a series of specific observations and concludes with a generalization that logically follows from it. As they are based on limited observations, even well-constructed inductive arguments cannot be considered absolutely true.

Reading, Understanding, and Creating Visual Aids
Visual aids are a very important part of the textbook reading. They are tools designed to help you learn and remember new concepts and key information.Visual aids provide a quick, easily accessible format for information that shows you how ideas connect or relate to each other. Authors use visuals as learning aids, as a way to illustrate and explain their main idea. Types of visual aids include mind maps, outlines, charts, diagrams, graphs, illustrations, photographs, and time lines.An effective reading and study strategy is to make your own visual aids. Here fore you have to recognize the important elements in what you are reading and be able to prioritize and organize them in a logical and useful format.

Textbook Marking
Textbook marking is a systematic way of marking, highlighting, and labeling ideas to show how they are related to each other and which are most important. It also helps you to remember what you had read. At the end of the study-reading stage of textbook reading, you should look for and mark these items: main ideas, major supporting details, and new vocabulary. Beyond these three basic elements of textbook marking, you should use your experience in lecture and lab to decide if you need to mark more. Always mark information that is unclear; to remind yourself to find out what it means before you are tested on the material.
