Question 
Focus 
attention 
on 
what 
seems 
relevant 
or 
important.
Ask 
yourself: 
'What 
do 
I 
already 
know 
about 
this 
topic?' 
Ask yourself: 'Why am I reading this text and what is my task with reference to 
the 
seminar 
paper 
I 
am 
preparing?
Ask 
yourself: 
'What 
is 
important 
information 
for 
me?' 
Ask: 'What is the context in which the author puts the text?' 
Read 
When reading, focus first on what you do understand, do not first pick out and 
be 
taken 
aback 
by 
passages 
which 
you 
do 
not 
understand. 
Reread passages which are not clear; use contextual clues and infer meaning. 
Look up words which you do not know in a dictionary but do so only for words 
which 
you 
feel 
are 
essential 
for 
understanding 
the 
text.

the 
author 
arranged 
them 
in 
that 
sequence. 
Make notes of what seem to you open or controversial issues. 
Review 
Learning is not possible without reviewing. Repetition is essential. Go over the
