Study Aloud

When you have a million and one things fighting for space in your brain, (work, school, bills, kids, appointments – you get the picture) it can be difficult to retain the information necessary to ace your online course.

One study method that seems to do the trick no matter who you are, is studying aloud. Here’s how. Before reading, set a purpose and verbalize it, after you’ve finished be sure to summarize out loud what you just read. Speak your ideas into a tape machine as if you were having a conversation with someone and when you can, talk to your friends about the material. Not only will this help you to retain the information, but you’ll actually have a clearer understanding of the material at a faster rate.
