Bookmark: How to Learn. This book was written so that you might learn. In order to learn from it, however, you must know how to use it properly. The book will teach you little unless you put organized effort into reading it, for active, directed work is necessary if you wish to understand and remember what you read. Careful, intelligent reading of this book will mean that you understand better what you learn in class. What is equally important, if you have studied this book properly in the first place, it will serve as a convenient and quick refresher for future reference. Nearly everyone knows that we easily forget what we learn when we do not use it. What many students do not realize, however, is that we can relearn what we have once learned, providing we have learned it well in the first place. Thus, this book provides a convenient auxiliary memory that can serve you all of your life. In order to understand and remember the contents of this book it is essential that you do more than read. It means that you must actively recite, question, and review the material you have read. See the reverse of this card for suggestions that will help you to study this book. By following these suggestions, you will find the book will be more valuable to you both the course in which it is assigned and as a part of your permanent library.
BOOKMARK How to Get the Most Out of a Book 1. Skim through the assigned reading so that you will know what it is you are to study. 2. Read the text carefully. Do not forget that many important ideas are presented in graphs, diagrams or maps. 3. As you read, stop now and then and recite to yourself, in your own words, the important ideas in what you have just read. 4. Make brief notes in the margin. These will serve as cues for subsequent self-recitation. 5. Mark important or key passages for later review. 6. Review the material at least once between the first time you study the assignment and study for exams. Make use of your marginal notes as cues for self-recitation. 7. Remember that a little relearning is necessary each time you wish to use what you have learned for an examination, a related course, or for independent study. If you use the author's headings, marked passages, and brief notes for cues it will help you relearn easily. 8. Coordinate what you read with what you learn in the classroom. Keep well-organized lecture notes. Lecture notes that are legible and accurate will, like your text-book, serve in the years to come as quick and inexpensive keys to the knowledge that you are acquiring. JAMES E. DEESE Associate Professor of Psychology The Johns Hopkins University Author of THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING
Yesterday, I was reading a used book from 1959 I bought some years ago, and I found this bookmark, which must have been there when I bought the book.
Given the age of the book and Deese at Johns Hopkins, the bookmark would be from the 1960s. Useful advice to students even now.
