SQ3R - A Reading and Study Skill System

SQ3R - A Reading and Study Skill System

Classic system presented by way of Virginia Tech: http://www.ucc.vt.edu/stdysk/sq3r.html

SURVEY - gather the information necessary to focus and formulate goals.
  1. Read the title - help your mind prepare to receive the subject at hand.
  2. Read the introduction and/or summary - orient yourself to how this chapter fits the author's purposes, and focus on the author's statement of most important points.
  3. Notice each boldface heading and subheading - organize your mind before you begin to read - build a structure for the thoughts and details to come.
  4. Notice any graphics - charts, maps, diagrams, etc. are there to make a point - don't miss them.
  5. Notice reading aids - italics, bold face print, chapter objective, end-of -chapter questions are all included to help you sort, comprehend, and remember.
QUESTION - help your mind engage and concentrate.

One section at a time, turn the boldface heading into as many questions as you think will be answered in that section. The better the questions, the better your comprehension is likely to be. You may always add further questions as you proceed. When your mind is actively searching for answers to questions it becomes engaged in learning.

READ - fill in the information around the mental structures you've been building.

Read each section (one at a time) with your questions in mind. Look for the answers, and notice if you need to make up some new questions.

RECITE - retrain your mind to concentrate and learn as it reads.

After each section - stop, recall your questions, and see if you can answer them from memory. If not, look back again (as often as necessary) but don't go on to the next section until you can recite.

REVIEW - refine your mental organization and begin building memory.

Once you've finished the entire chapter using the preceding steps, go back over all the questions from all the headings. See if you can still answer them. If not, look back and refresh your memory, then continue.

REMEMBER: THE INFORMATION YOU GAIN FROM READING IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU JUST "DO IT" WITHOUT LEARNING SOMETHING. YOU'RE WASTING A LOT OF TIME. TRAIN YOUR MIND TO LEARN!!!

Blogger Backup

How do I create a backup of my entire blog?

Blogger does not have an export or download function. However, you can use the following instructions to create a single file with all your posts which you may publish and then copy to your own computer for use as desired. Note: If you intend to continue using your blog, please save a copy of your existing template in a file on your computer as you will need to have it at hand after this process is completed.

  1. Log into your Blogger account, then switch into template-editing mode.
  2. Make a copy of your current template; you will be replacing your Blogger template with the single page template in Step 3, but you probably don't want to lose your original template.
  3. Replace your Blogger template with the following (note: you must remove the indentation from the following lines when pasting into your Blogger template):
    <Blogger>
    AUTHOR: <$BlogItemAuthor$>
    DATE: <$BlogItemDateTime$>
    -----
    BODY:
    <$BlogItemBody$>
    --------
    </Blogger>
    Optional: If you are using our commenting system, you can choose to export comments along with the posts. If you want to do this, add the following code to your template, just above the </Blogger> tag:
    <BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
    <BlogItemComments>
    COMMENT-AUTHOR:<$BlogCommentAuthor$>
    COMMENT-DATE:<$BlogCommentDateTime$>
    COMMENT-BODY:<$BlogCommentBody$>
    --------
    </BlogItemComments>
    </BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
  4. In Settings | Publishing change your Blog Filename to a different filename; this will prevent you from overwriting your main index file. Make a note of your current Blog Filename so you can restore the setting after finishing. [ Note: This only applies to users publishing via FTP. Free BlogSpot users will need to overwrite their existing blog page, but it will be replaced as soon as the blog is republished with the original template.]
  5. In Settings | Formatting, set your blog to display all of your posts on the main index page. There is no explicit setting for this; instead, you should change the number of days displayed on your front page ( Show N days' posts on main page) higher than the number of days that you have been blogging.
  6. In Settings | Formatting set Date/Time Format to the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM|PM . (Note: the format will not look like this in the menu; instead it will be the current time, formatted.) Make a note of your current setting so you can restore it after finishing.
  7. Also in Settings | Formatting set Convert Line Breaks to No.
  8. In Settings | Archiving, set Archive Frequency to No Archive. This will prevent your archives from being overwritten with the new template.
  9. Republish your blog; you will end up with a single file with all of your posts, formatted using the above template, at the location specified in your Settings. Open this file in your web browser and save the file to your local hard drive.
  10. Restore the previous settings (Blog filename, archive frequency, timestamp, etc.) in your blog and replace the temporary template with your saved copy. Publish the blog and view the page to check that everything is correct.

PMcGraw Life Laws

READING NOTES Strategies

Notes - Life Strategies by Phillip C. McGraw -

LIFE LAWS

1 You either get it or you don't - Become one of those who gets it

2 You create your own experience - Acknowledge and accept accountability for your own life.

3 People do what works - Identify the

payoffs that drive your behavior and that of others

4 You cannot change what you do not acknowledge - Get real with your life and everyone in it.

5 Life rewards action. Make careful decisions and then pull the trigger.

6 There is no reality, only perceptions. Identify the filters through which you view the world.

7 Life is managed, it fs not cured. Learn to take charge of your life.

8 We teach people how to treat us. Own, rether than complain about, how people treat you.

9 There is power in forgiveness. Open your eyes to what anger and resentment are doing to you.

10 You have to name it before you can claim it. Get clear about what you want anj take your turn.
