Digest: Go back to what you did not understand and reconsider the information; Contact external expert sources (e.g., other books or an instructor) if you still cannot understand it
Expand: In this step, ask three kinds of questions concerning the studied material:· If I could speak to the author, what questions would I ask or what criticism would I offer?· How could I apply this material to what I am interested in?· How could I make this information interesting and understandable to other students?
Review: Go over the material you've covered, Review what strategies helped you understand and/or retain information in the past and apply these to your current studies.
