MURDER sometime better!!

"MURDER": A Study System

MOOD:
Set a positive mood for your-self to study
Select the appropriate time, environment and attitude

UNDERSTAND:
Mark any information you don't understand in a particular unit
Keep a focus on one unit or a manageable group of exercises

RECALL:
After studying the unit, stop and put what you have learned into your own words

DIGEST:
Go back to what you did not understand and reconsider the information
Contact external expert sources (e.g., other books or an instructor) if you still cannot understand it

EXPAND:
In this step, ask three kinds of questions concerning the studied material:
1. If I could speak to the author, what questions would I ask or what criticism would I offer?
2. How could I apply this material to what I'm interested in?
3. How could I make this information interesting and understandable to other students?

REVIEW:
Go over the material you've covered,
Remember what strategies helped you understand and/or retain information
Apply these strategies to your future studying
