week 2 blog

When reading, I feel that it is important for one to ask questions about the text. The reason that I feel it is important to do this, is because many times it makes the text much more understandable if you know where the writer is coming from. When I read, many times, I will underline or highlight parts that I feel are significant or important. In order to retain the most material while reading, I feel that it is best if I am interested in the subject matter. If I feel that the subject matter is not relevant, then the chance of me retaining a large amount of the information is not likely. When I need to remember information from a text that I am not interested in at all, I find that I retain information best if I read it several times. The first time I read something I typically just get the general idea of it, but after reading it a second, or even maybe a third time, I find that I catch many less obvious details in the reading that are typically important.
