> recite? interpret? speak to groups? What are your study habits? How did they evolve? Which worked best? worst? How did you communicate what you learned best? Through a written test, a term paper, an interview? || How much time do I want to spend learning this? What competes for my attention? Are the circumstances right for success? What can I control, and what is outside my control? Can I change these conditions for success? What affects my dedication to learning this? Do I have a plan? Does my plan consider my past experience and learning style? || What are key words that jump out? Do I understand them? What do I know about this already? Do I know related subjects? What kinds of resources and information will help me? Will I only rely on one source (for example, a textbook) for information? Will I need to look for additional sources? As I study, do I ask myself whether I understand? Should I go more quickly or more slowly? If I don't understand, do I ask why? Do I stop and summarize? Do I stop and ask whether it's logical? Do I stop and evaluate (agree/disagree)? Do I just need time to think it over and return later? Do I need to discuss it with other "learners" in order to process the information? Do I need to find an authority, such as a teacher, a librarian, or a subject-matter expert? || What could I do better? Did my plan coincide with how I work with my strengths and weaknesses? Did I choose the right conditions? Did I follow through; was I disciplined with myself? Did I succeed? Did I celebrate my success? ||
