If you do not understand the point you can either look it up after class or, better yet, ask the professor to explain the point he was trying to make. Films are your friends. Always take notes on the any visual material an instructor offers. Some films are very specific to the material you are studying while others are often about topics that are only slightly related to information covered in class. Regardless, it is good practice to take notes on films and other visual materials.
Instructors often take general test questions from such sources.
Study and Concentration 1. Designate a fixed place for study and nothing but study. When you study, you want the best possible environment. Above all it should be reasonably quiet and relatively free of distractions like the radio, television, and, perhaps most importantly, other people. Try to select the same place to study each and every time you study.
