1. Read the text multiple times during the unit. It is recommended to read the pages once before coming to class to get a sense of the day’s topics and then after the lecture, scanning the headings and captions, in sort of a “study it to memorize it” manner afterwards. Review the image list, filling in images and notes missed in class; use the textbooks and the web image list.
2. Take notes in class, when reading assigned segments of the textbooks, when watching films or videos, and when looking through websites, etc. You will not retain the material if you do not take notes. 3. Use the class website. The website will contain the agendas for the class period, downloadable PowerPoints and worksheets, and links to further information on topics. You will also be asked to participate in the group discussions within the site. 5. Write down questions as they occur to you, and either look them up (and write the answers down) or bring them to class for discussion. 6. Sketch basic principles presented in diagrams. The physical act of trying to sketch something helps cement it to memory. Whether or not you can draw well is unimportant. You should be able, however, to reproduce simple diagrams of the orders of classical architecture or maps of basilicas, or centrally planned churches, and cathedrals. 7. Use maps to learn the locations of major cities and countries we study in this class. A physical sense of where things happened is linked to a geographic and cultural sense of location. 8. Be an active part of the group: ask questions, take notes, and participate in pursuing your own learning. |
