Guided Critical Thinking with Generic Questions
When reading to learn, active and engaged reading is best. Asking questions as you read, not only engages you in the text and keeps you alert, but can also help improve your understanding and critical analysis of new ideas. In addition, this kind of reading creates associations (connections) with other ideas, which helps you remember when it's exam time. You can also use these questions to create practice questions for your exam study sessions and groups.
Fill in the blanks with concepts, facts, or ideas from your course materials.
