College Students - Do you keep up with the reading?

[novon]

I haven't kept up, I haven't really read any of the textbook since the begining of the quarter. I usually just cram it all before the tests, how about you guys?

 

[Blayze]

no but I really should, it would be a lot less trouble when test time comes around.

 

[gopunk]

i have a light workload, so yes. i actually just read it in lecture, since they teach straight out of the books anyways.

I'm in HS, but I've got AP chem. I do the reading when I'm supposed to.
<---finished Tuesday's assigned reading this morning

 

[LaBang]

all of it? no.

maybe i should read a little right now. hmmm.....

 

[bigalt]

bah nobody does the reading. it's just a waste of ink when i write down in my notes what it is

 

[aphex]

none if it

 

[areohbe]

i'm going to try this semester... i did it last semester but that lasted about a month

 

[Noriaki]

Bah.
I take very few notes in class, and only read what I need to out of hte books.

 

[erub]

in my hs AP classes...I read for Gov..Calculus (who reads for math anyways?) gets skimmed, Art History (i look at the pictures that I hafta know), and Chemistry - uhmmm....the Barron's book

 

[udonoogen]

do you buy all your books? =P hahaha

 

[Capn]

Reading? They had reading in college?

Although I'm done till grad school next fall I often
1) did not read the book until doing problem sets
2) did not take notes

If the professor is lazy/good (take your pick) he'll use a book that correlates well with the work he does in class so notes aren't necessary.

Read the material beforehand? Bah, maybe if I ever was really struggling with the material I might do that.

<< Bah.

same here. I look through the book just to get answers for the homework assignments. Its pretty bad, probably why I usually do so bad on tests.

 

[StageLeft]

Well considering that i never ever took notes of worth in university the reading was the only way I'd pass!

thats my thought!

i would try to last semester but it got too damn boring. The stuff for english i would usually read but if i didn't, there'd be a quiz. I finally realized that it was pointless to read my philosophy since the stuff i needed to know was gone over in lecture and i never seemed to get the point from just the reading. I'd jsut see the words but be too close to sleep to actually get what they all meant
