Studying from a Textbook :: How to Get Started
Through trial and error across my academic career, I’ve developed a system of textbook studying that’s been very successful for me even in graduate school. This post outlines my basic procedure. Of course, different techniques work for different people, so be sure to pick and choose which ideas you add to your own strategies. Thanks in advance for reading!
Reading a textbook is a formidable task; after all, they contain a lot of information per page across a lot of pages. Therefore, it’s useful to divide the book into more manageable pieces. Most textbooks do a pretty good job of this by pre-dividing the material into sections (or even subsections). If there’s no pre-existing division (or if each division is fairly lengthy), I recommend focusing on about 10 pages at a time. However you choose to divide, my basic strategy amounts to this:
Tackle the textbook section-by-section, only moving onto a new section once you’re comfortable with the previous section.
If you’re under a time constraint, then I’d say make yourself as comfortable as you can within that constraint.
This begs the question: how do you become comfortable with a section? Well, you’ll need to read it more than once. Today I’m primarily discussing how to make your first reading as useful as possible, especially for future readings.
First off, I suggest reading through the section in its entirety on your first pass. There will be material you don’t understand, but that’s okay: spend a couple of minutes trying to understand it and then move on. During your first reading, you’re getting the lay of the land; you don’t have to understand everything perfectly (or even at all).
Along the way, I keep track of my understanding via sticky notes, flags, and index cards.
My Index Cards Strategy
I keep three types of index cards as I read, each with its own theme:
Questions: This index card lists questions I think of while reading, usually organized by the page number on which I have the question. Questions include things like “What’s [specific terminology] mean?”,  or “Is this related to [some other topic]?”, or even as generic as “What is [this subsection] talking about?”
Definitions: When a new word is introduced, I write it down on my definitions card. Beside each word I draw a bubble in one of three colors, with each color representing my current understanding of the word and related concepts: green means “fine as is”, orange means “could use attention”, and red means “absolutely needs attention.”
Notations: Some textbooks use abbreviations or symbols that I don’t recognize, so I keep an index card of these notations for quick reference.
You can easily replace this system’s index cards with notebook pages or similar media. Whatever works best for you!
My Sticky Notes and Flags Strategy
Using sticky notes placed within the textbook, I summarize challenging paragraphs and recap important ideas. This process forces me to grapple with the text, ultimately resulting in nice one-sentence summaries. These summaries help concepts stick in my brain and are extremely useful on subsequent reads of the text. I also use sticky notes to write questions that I couldn’t fit on my questions card. For the most difficult passages, I use flags: a quick, wordless way of saying “What in the world is this author talking about???”
Post-Reading Analysis and Subsequent Reading
I love this system because it not only lets me know how I feel about the material, but also generates specific concrete tasks to better my understanding. The vague task that is “learn this subject” becomes the more manageable tasks of “answer these questions”, “learn these words”, and “summarize these topics.”
I try to do the first reading in a single study session (although it’s not imperative to do so). Then, in a separate study session, I look up topics and words that I struggled with. The internet is particularly useful for this! Once I’ve improved my understanding some, I begin reading through the section again, this time with a fine-toothed comb. I use the notes I made the first time as guidelines for where I should spend my time and energy.
It’s very likely that during my second (and subsequent) reads I’ll think of new questions or come up with new ways of recapping material; in that case, I record them just as I did during the first reading.
In this way, I keep revisiting material I don’t understand until I feel like I understand it; again, external resources can be very useful for this! I only consider the section completed once I have a solid understanding of the section’s terminology and big ideas. Chances are I’ll still have questions at that point, but that’s okay:
I aim to be comfortable with the material, which is not the same as understanding 100% of what’s written in the textbook.
So, yeah! That’s my method in a nutshell. I hope you find parts of it useful in your own studies!
Thanks for reading! I’m wishing you the best of luck!

Right now, I’m sifting through 50+ applications for a new entry-level position. Here’s some advice from the person who will actually be looking at your CV/resume and cover letter:
‘You must include a cover letter’ does not mean ‘write a single line about why you want this position’. If you can’t be bothered to write at least one actual paragraphs about why you want this job, I can’t be bothered to read your CV.
Don’t bother including a list of your interests if all you can think of is ‘socialising with friends’ and ‘listening to music’. Everyone likes those things. Unless you can explain why the stuff you do enriches you as a person and a candidate (e.g. playing an instrument or a sport shows dedication and discipline) then I honestly don’t care how you spend your time. I won’t be looking at your CV thinking ‘huh, they haven’t included their interests, they must have none’, I’m just looking for what you have included.
Even if you apply online, I can see the filename you used for your CV. Filenames that don’t include YOUR name are annoying. Filenames like ‘CV - media’ tell me that you’ve got several CVs you send off depending on the kind of job advertised and that you probably didn’t tailor it for this position. ‘[Full name] CV’ is best.
USE. A. PDF. All the meta information, including how long you worked on it, when you created it, times, etc, is right there in a Word doc. PDFs are far more professional looking and clean and mean that I can’t make any (unconscious or not) decisions about you based on information about the file.
I don’t care what the duties in your previous unrelated jobs were unless you can tell me why they’re useful to this job. If you worked in a shop, and you’re applying for an office job which involves talking to lots of people, don’t give me a list of stuff you did, write a sentence about how much you enjoyed working in a team to help everyone you interacted with and did your best to make them leave the shop with a smile. I want to know what makes you happy in a job, because I want you to be happy within the job I’m advertising.
Does the application pack say who you’ll be reporting to? Can you find their name on the company website? Address your application to them. It’s super easy and shows that you give enough of a shit to google something. 95% of people don’t do this.
Tell me who you are. Tell me what makes you want to get up in the morning and go to work and feel fulfilled. Tell me what you’re looking for, not just what you think I’m looking for.
I will skim your CV. If you have a bunch of bullet points, make every one of them count. Make the first one the best one. If it’s not interesting to you, it’s probably not interesting to me. I’m overworked and tired. Make my job easy.
“I work well in a team or individually” okay cool, you and everyone else. If the job means you’ll be part of a big team, talk about how much you love teamwork and how collaborating with people is the best way to solve problems. If the job requires lots of independence, talk about how you are great at taking direction and running with it, and how you have the confidence to follow your own ideas and seek out the insight of others when necessary. I am profoundly uninterested in cookie-cutter statements. I want to know how you actually work, not how a teacher once told you you should work.
For an entry-level role, tell me how you’re looking forward to growing and developing and learning as much as you can. I will hire genuine enthusiasm and drive over cherry-picked skills any day. You can teach someone to use Excel, but you can’t teach someone to give a shit. It makes a real difference.
This is my advice for small, independent orgs like charities, etc. We usually don’t go through agencies, and the person reading through the applications is usually the person who will manage you, so it helps if you can give them a real sense of who you are and how you’ll grab hold of that entry level position and give it all you’ve got. This stuff might not apply to big companies with actual HR departments - it’s up to you to figure out the culture and what they’re looking for and mirror it. Do they use buzzwords? Use the same buzzwords! Do they write in a friendly, informal way? Do the same! And remember, 95% of job hunting (beyond who you know and flat-out nepotism, ugh) is luck. If you keep getting rejected, it’s not because you suck. You might just need a different approach, or it might just take the right pair of eyes landing on your CV.
And if you get rejected, it’s worthwhile asking why. You’ve already been rejected, the worst has already happened, there’s really nothing bad that can come out of you asking them for some constructive feedback (politely, informally, “if it isn’t too much trouble”). Pretty much all of us have been hopeless jobseekers at one point or another. We know it’s shitty and hard and soul-crushing. Friendliness goes a long way. Even if it’s just one line like “your cover letter wasn’t inspiring" at least you know where to start.
And seriously, if you have any friends that do any kind of hiring or have any involvement with that side of things, ask them to look at your CV with a big red pen and brutal honesty. I do this all the time, and the most important thing I do is making it so their CV doesn’t read exactly like that of every other person who took the same ‘how-to-get-a-job’ class in school. If your CV has a paragraph that starts with something like ‘I am a highly motivated and punctual individual who–’ then oh my god I AM ALREADY ASLEEP.

ily @staff @support  :) please email me soon
 i am getting very anxious. i found out why my tumblr account (@studywithinspo) got terminated. i tried to link one of my old posts with a domain link that is supposedly blacklisted. that was the first time i tried to do so, i wasn’t given any warning and then my account just froze and told me that my account got terminated. it marked me as a SPAM account, which i wasn’t trying to do. i already contacted tumblr at 9:00 p.m. on friday September 9 2016.  i just want it to be recovered and i will not try that ever again. I am a HUGEly ACTIVE STUDYBLR, some of you may know me, or may know my pictures. i don’t want to lose everything that i’ve worked hard for, 15000 study buddies and a platform to inspire others.

Hello, friends!
As you already know I am doing a RESEARCH PROJECT currently. HERE you can find some further information about it. I am grateful for every completed questionnaire. So please, participate and reblog. :)
I would like to find out how many people are a part of this studyblr community. How many of us (Studyblrs) are there?! Please help me to answer this question by reblogging this entry once. 
Thanks in advance. ;)

Change.
I feel like I shouldn’t have a studyblr, I am an unmotivated, failing mess right now.
But I enjoy learning, I am leaving school without my Higher qualifications, only with the basics I earned earlier this year. I am unhappy at school and it is only making my mental health worse and isn’t benefitting me at all.
I feel depressed and have suffered with Generalised Anxiety Disorder for around 2 years now. I am only getting worse right now and I want to be happy.
So I have applied to do a self-study college course and that should hopefully work out but right now I am basically a mess and I feel like I have zero right to be motivational to all of you guys who want to do well when I can’t even go to school for a day without it just getting worse.
So ultimately I believe that this is the right choice for me and that I just need some change in my life.
I need a change of educational style, something I am really looking forward to. The course I have applied for is ECDL Word Processing and I am hoping to progress to do ECDL Presentation and ECDL Spreadsheets then maybe also ECDL Databases. Depending on the speed I complete the courses, I might apple to do Business Accounting full-time at college. I’m not 100% right now but I am sure that I need a change of educational style, online and at home is where I am most comfortable and where I feel I need to be right now.
I need a change of people. I need to get some shitty people out of my life and some brilliant people need to stay and I feel this is the perfect opportunity to see who my true friends are, to see who will still speak to me once I’m not around them all of the time. I know that I’ll miss out on jokes at school and funny times with my friends but I know that my mental state is much more important than some silly joke I won't remember in about a month anyway.
So i just wanted to update you and let you know where I am and what’s happening or what I hope will happen anyway. I’ll keep you guys updated.
Thank you.
All the love in the world xxxxx
