How to study from a textbook chapter

Treat a textbook chapter as an argument with examples, not a wall of paragraphs. A preview and short recall pauses make the reading more purposeful.

A simple way to try it

  1. Preview headings, diagrams, and end questions.
  2. Read one section at a time and note its key claim.
  3. Answer an end question without looking, then check.
