Survey Describe the value of surveying the reading.
By surveying the reading I was able to get an understanding of what the reading would be about. I was able to identify that the main focus would be on classical conditioning and the effects that it would have. I was able to look for key bold words in the reading.
Question What questions did you ask as you were reading?
I asked if there were other forms of classical conditioning that I could relate to.
I also asked what other variations could have been used in the experiments
I asked the definitions and examples of conditioned and unconditioned responses
Read How did surveying and questioning help you read better?
Surveying and questioning helped me to grasp the main idea of the reading before reading through the article. I was able to know what I would be reading about and what key words to look for without having read the article multiple times. This skill will be an asset with future reading requirements.
Recite How did you decide what parts of your reading you needed to recite?
I recited the questions that I initially asked myself and went over the words that I was unfamiliar with. I learn better by writing. After answering the questions, I wrote them down along with the answers.
Review How often do you plan to review?
I will review material immediately after reading and then come back to it periodically to prevent from forgetting. Certain topics will not need to be reviewed as often as others.
Wrap-up questions: How successful was the SQ3R process in helping you grasp the concepts in the section you selected? Will you use SQ3R in the future as a way to master the content in academic readings?
The SQ3R process was very successful. I am not a strong reader
