STRATEGIES
I am an English major and Art minor so I have a lot of reading, writing papers, and art projects. My classes are time consuming but I don’t mind working hard. I have trouble with reading comprehension. As an English major, I need to do a lot of reading and writing. So it takes me a long time to get it done. But I get it done, and I get it done the way it should be done. I take notes in class, get notes from my note-takers, and meet with the teacher. If I need help, I ask for it. I know now how to get through the reading so it will help me with my writing later. I think the most important things are highlighting what is important in the book and writing in the margins so when you read through it you can remember what you thought was important. I make notes in the margins using all kind of colors. I draw in my book which is fun and artistic. Probably the best thing I ever did was to get tested. I learned how I need to learn.
