I'll start off by saying I'm taking the Advanced EMT course online. I work two part time jobs - one in an office and one for my department so I don't have the time to go to an actual classroom for the course.
The class is laid out by each chapter and the AAOS book. Each chapter has the powerpoint, a quiz, and a recorded lecture.
When I sit down to read the chapter, I have a really hard time comprehending what I read. I've always been the type who learns by 'doing' and not reading.
What I usually resort to doing is just watching the recorded lecture and move on to the quiz and eventually the section test. I don't take notes from the chapter.. I really don't do anything but watch the lecture and skim the chapter for vocabulary and whatever catches my eye.
My current grade is an 80.1%. You need an 80% or higher to pass. I'm only on chapter 10, and figure if there's anytime to change my study habits, now would be the best time to do it.
My question is: What would be the best way to study online. Notes? Highlighting? I'm just looking for ideas and opinions.
Thanks a lot,
Dan
