SQ4R

A popular technique to read learning material (Lobdell, 2015). SQ4R stands for:

  • S: Survey
  • Q: Question
  • 4R: Read, Record, Recite, Review

Survey Skim through the entire section, chapter. Read section overview, headings, pictures, graphs for a big picture.

Question Be skeptical of what you read. Questioning the facts mentioned in book creates a cue to process the information the next time you read. ‘Critical thinking skills encourage students to move beyond knowing information and get to the heart of what they really think and believe’ (HunSchool - Encourage Critical Thinking, 2021).

Read, Record, Recite, Review. The objective is to become more active in learning. Note down what you read. Recite it. Then review the noted content for better material retention.

Mathematical logic

  • Axiom (Axiom Wikipedia, 2021): An axiom, postulate or assumption is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or starting point for further reasoning and arguments. The word comes from the Greek axíōma (ἀξίωμα) ‘that which is thought worthy or fit’ or ‘that which commends itself as evident.
