The document discusses the author's learning challenges and strategies to improve comprehension. It notes that the author typically skims rather than reads thoroughly, memorizes biology facts without full understanding, and finds math difficult. The author is easily distracted, including by their phone, and sometimes overestimates exam performance. To improve, the author needs to use deep processing by relating new knowledge to existing understanding and refreshing memory. For biology, writing down recalled information and linking facts will help rather than just memorizing. Developing questions while reading history and practicing short answers can also aid learning. To do well, the author must attend class, take notes, review past exams, ask professors questions, and commit study time for all courses.
