PC ProSchools – The Click

Next week we will be filming footage for some new promotional materials. We made some calls to recent alumni and were astounded with the response. There wasn’t a graduate out there that didn’t want to do it! Just listening to their brief expressions of gratitude was enough to make my day! I can’t wait until next week to capture their experiences and share them with you. So many of you out there have great news to share that it got me thinking! Please use this blog to share your success story! Simply you use the Comment icon below! If you wish to remain anonymous too that’s fine but I really would love to hear from you and get updates. I have watched each of you progress through the program and through getting your first job! I love hearing how you are now. How your dreams are all coming true!

How do you view reading? As a necessary evil or an opportunity. Whichever your viewpoint, it is important to focus on your purpose for reading. Reading your texts can also be thought of as a three-step process.

1. Preview each chapter before you read it.  Scan the chapters, look at the pictures; try to get the main idea of the chapter before you read it more carefully.

2. As you’re reading, break the chapter into smaller sections.  Turn paragraph or section headings into questions and use them for studying. Summarize each section in your own words to make sure you understand the ideas.

3. After you read, think about what you have read. Can you relate it to your own experience? If the textbook provides review questions, answer them. If you don’t understand, ask your instructor during class.

Reading with intent will allow you to be in control!
