Skills for Academic Study

This article discusses the essential skills for academic study, including assessing available resources, identifying learning style, literature search, and note-taking techniques. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing one's learning style and using appropriate note-taking techniques to enhance learning.

SKILLS FOR ACADEMIC STUDY
It is essential for learner to assess the resources available to them
to facilitate their study and learning. It is an essential practice
which must be adopted to effectively enhance the scope of
appropriate studying and adequate learning. The various resources,
include books, journals internet websites, etc.
Thus, it is important for analysing own learning
style as it would allow the learner to effectively learn
basic concepts, theories and gain appropriate knowledge.
In addition, There are various note taking techniques
which must be used and evaluated appropriately to
enhance the effect of learning.
However, it is very crucial for a learner to identify their learning
style. This would allow them to develop an appropriate learning
pattern which would aid them in experiencing better outcomes. To
attain this, it is important that questionnaires are formed which
would allow an individual to effectively identify their learning
style.
Linear: This technique of not taking is very effective if
notes are required to be made which includes sub topics
which are important enough to be covered by the learner.
It allows to build an effective work frame of important
aspects from the literature.
Mind Mapping for Flowchart Diagrams: A picture
display of information would allow the learner to store
the same in their photographic memory. It is an effective
way to learn as it allows the learner to creatively
segregate certain factors and becomes easy to record and
grasp important data.
Graphic Organisers: Graphic display of data enables the
learner to effectively learn through construction of
various methods which could help in learning and
analysing quantifiable data. However, it could also be
used to present the data effectively in tables, charts, bar
graphs, etc. which are presentable and easy to understand.
It is an essential practice which helps learners to gain knowledge
about a particular topic.
E-Book: This is a book about a certain topic which is available on
internet and covers effective information about the same.
Journal: It is a recorded written material which has useful
information on the topic.
Website: This refer to an effective collection of web resources which
publish content about different useful topics for knowledge.
This is referred to a practice which is concerned about recording of
useful information related to the content. For the topic of impact of
lifestyle choices on individual' s health, there are three methods
through which notes could be effectively taken to further investigate
the subject matter. These techniques are mentioned below:
Linear: Lifestyle choices have a wide impact on an individual's
health, and these choices directly influence the wellness of a being.
There are several choices which could further lead to addiction which
adversely affect health of a person. Some of these addictions are
mentioned below:
Tobacco: While the short-term elasticity of demand of tobacco is -
0.04, the long run elasticity is measured to be -0.07.
Gambling: Short term elasticity of gambling is -0.03 while long term
is -0.07.
Drinking: its short term elasticity is measured in terms of immediate
consumption, while its long term is measured by death rates due to
liver cirrhosis.
Cocaine: Its response is measured in prices. For instance, elasticity
for temporary pricing is -0.03. permanent pricing is -0.07 and long
run pricing is -1.4.

Where choices about food are concerned, there are
different aspects about health which differ in health and ethical
vegans.
