To have a good method of work needs many steps that we should not be neglected.

Thing that we nedd to know.

Study in 5 steps:

Analize: Everything begin in the class. Listen attentively, participate, make all the activities to identify the structure of the chapter and look for all the concepts that you have to work with.
Synthetize: In the afternoon, between 10 to 15 minutes, reread the lesson, underline the titles and the key words, learn the vocabulary, the theoric concepts, and the calculation techniques.
Practice: Close your notebook, check, mentally or by writing, the seen things: title, key words, and concepts. Make again the exercises, the evaluations, and the problems.
Memorize: Once that the lesson is understood, it is necessary to memorize the theoric concepts. We forget a lot in the next 24 hours to this memorization. For this reason we have to repeat to memorize for long terme.
Reformulate: To enssure that we have memorized the concepts, we have to explain any of these notions with our own words.
