Chapter 3

                          In this chapter they clarified the use of the table of contexts and the index. this chapter was pretty much straight forward and got right to the point. There wasn't much that i didn't know. This chapter for me was the least informative and most useless chapter. The one useful thing i understood from this chapter was the context clues. They explained the various types of them and the difference of them.

Chapter 2

                                   Ive known to always search long and hard for your textbooks in places that have familiar topics.Read the table of contexts before reading to know what your going to be reading about. Ive honestly never bothered to look at the table of contents. I am going to start using it to get a general idea of what the chapters and texts are about. I would still like to learn after reading this chapter how to use the index and table of contents a little better but i think it just takes time getting used to.

Chapter 1

           College before reading this chapter was a mystery. Keeping an open mind, college came unexpected from the professos and to the college level work. I would of preferred to go into college with some insight on the workload. After reading this chapter i have learned to dedicate my time and be more focused on my studies. High grades will not be handed to me on a silver platter, i need to work hard and make sure i understand whats being taught.
