Abstract
□ Although all that has been said above may seem rather complicated and expensive, an application of these ideas should substantially simplify the task of learning effectively from college assignments. In applying these suggestions to a student's particular situation and to the evaluation of his need for new equipment, the following basic points made in this presentation should be considered: 1) Everything is read at the fastest comprehendable speed; 2) A small, portable machine is useful for recording lectures and for reading during available bits of time throughout the day; 3) Ideas from what is read are condensed and recorded onto separate reels for each major aspect of each subject (low frequency beeps are used to identify sections or dates on tapes); 4) Notes, rather than the original works, are used for review; 5) Face-to-face reading is kept to a minimum; 6) Braille reading is also kept to a minimum; and 7) Paid or volunteer readers are used to do as much “mechanical” work as possible.
