process of learning to help you get the bigger picture, study more efficiently, and ace

List the ways to take notes - Answer-Cornell- The Cornell method can include any of the
methods above and provides a useful format for calling out key concepts, prioritizing
ideas, and organizing review work. Most colleges recommend using some form of the
Cornell method.
Outline- A good method to use when material presented by the instructor is well
organized. Easy to use when taking notes on your computer.
List- This method is what most students use as a fallback if they haven't learned other
methods. This method typically requires a lot of writing, and you may find that you are
not keeping up with the professor. It is not easy for students to prioritize ideas in this
method.

instructor tends to hop from one idea to another and back.

Blooms Taxonomy Learning Levels - Answer-In the 1950s, Benjamin Bloom developed
a classification of thinking skills that is still helpful today; it is known as Bloom's
taxonomy. He lists six types of thinking skills, ranked in order of complexity: knowledge,
comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The Types of Thinking
Skills below outline each skill and what is involved in that type of thinking, as updated by
Lorin Anderson and David Krothwohl [1].
3 L's Learning Cycle - Answer-Adult learning is different from learning in primary and
secondary school. In high school, teachers often take much of the responsibility for how
students learn—encouraging learning with class discussions, repeating key material,
creating study guides, and looking over students' shoulders to make sure no one falls
behind. In college, most of the responsibility for learning falls on the student. You're free
to fail—or succeed—as you choose. This applies as well to how well you learn.
Learning an academic subject means really understanding it, being able to think about it
in meaningful ways and to apply that understanding in new situations. This is very
different from simply memorizing something and repeating it back on a test. Academic
learning occurs most effectively in a cycle of four steps:
Prepare- One student rolls out of bed a few minutes before class and dashes across
campus and grabs the last seat in the hall just as the instructor begins a lecture; it takes
him a few minutes to find the right notebook in his backpack, and then he can't find a
pencil. He's thinking about how he should've set his alarm a little earlier so he'd have
had time to grab a cup of coffee, since he's having trouble waking up. Finally he settles
in his seat and starts listening, but now he can't figure out what the instructor is talking
about. He starts jotting down phrases in his notes anyway, thinking he'll figure it out
later. Another student looks over his notes from the previous class and quickly glances
back at passages he'd highlighted in the textbook reading. He arrives at class a few
minutes early, sits up front where he can hear well, and has his notebook open and
pencil out. While waiting for the instructor to arrive, he talks to another student about her
ideas for the paper due next week in this class. It's obvious which of
