    This is why I always do better at studying when there’s a study guide telling me what specifically I need to study.

      Everyone does, but for some of us it’s damn near impossible to study without a plausible reason.

      I teach networking and programming, to a mainly high school age group. My students have a significantly higher than average occurrence of issues like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia.

      If I assign reading to my students, I will at least post questions that you should be able to answer after reading. Often we will spend time in class going over what the students are supposed to get out of the effort.

      Typically we’ll start a chapter of networking by attempting the end of chapter quiz. The feedback will tell you what sections you need to pay special attention to.

      I’m not trying to toot my own horn here. It boils down to me needing the kids to pass and get hired as trainees to keep my job in the long run.
