Select the appropriate time, environment, and attitude
Understand:

unit;
Keep a focus on one unit or a manageable group of exercises
Recall:
After studying the unit,

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:
o If I could speak to the author, what questions would
I ask or what criticism would I offer?
o How could I apply this material to what I am interested
in?
o 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
