Four steps to learn.
    Start by printing this page and answer the questions. Then plan your strategy of answers, and with the "Study Guides" the other.

Start with the past	What is your experience about how to learn? Are you What was your experience about how you learn? Did you     * Like to read? solve the problem? memorized? story? translating? speech?     * Learn how to summarize?     * Ask questions about what you learned?     * Review?     * Have access to information from many sources?     * Like quiet or study groups?     * Take some time to learn a short or long one? What are your study habits? How did they evolve? Which is best? The worst? How do you communicate what you know learn best? Through a written test, script, or an interview?
Forward to thepresent	Would you? How much time do I want to spend learning? What to compete with my concern? Are the circumstances right for success? What can I control, and what is outside my control? Can I change these conditions for success? What affects your dedication to this lesson? Do I have a plan? Does my plan consider the experience and learning style?
Consider the process, the main issue	What title? What are the key words are striking? Do I understand? What have I learned? Do I know related subjects? The sources and information which can help me? Do I rely on one source (for example, books)? Do I need to find other sources? As I learned, do I ask myself if I understand? Should I speed up or slow down? If I do not understand, if I ask why? Do I stop and summarize? Do I stop and ask if this logical? Do I stop and evaluate (agree / disagree)? Do I need time to think and come back again? Do I need to discuss with "learners" in order to process other informasin further? Do I need to find "experts", the teacher or librarian?
Create a review	Did I do right? What could I do better? Is my plan similar to the "self"? Do I choose the right conditions? Did I follow through; was I disciplined with myself? Are you successful? Do you celebrate your success?
