Homework Tip II Monotonous Mastery

Contributed by: Mike Woodson on 2/7/2006

This one comes from a head-of-his-class medical student:

Rather than read one chapter, then another, then another and so on, he

1. reads a chapter . . .

2. immediately reads it again . . .

short break

3. immediately reads it again . . .

short break

4. immediately reads it again . . .

After the fourth time, he's got it. He can answer all the questions at the end of the chapter with ease by the fourth go round.

5. Then he goes to the next chapter and repeats the process.

It's not monontonous, it's mastery.

You know when you've mastered something, don't you?

It's when you've mastered it.
