How to Study

"How to Study" by George Fillmore Swain is a manual from the past that teaches students how to learn well. It explains the best ways to think, act, and use logic when studying, so students can really understand what they're learning. The book warns against just memorizing things without understanding, pushing students to fully connect with their studies to gain true knowledge. Swain shares important tips for studying effectively, like having the right mindset, focusing on understanding instead of just reading, and using organized methods. He stresses that students should take charge of their own learning, think hard about what they're reading, and actively participate with the material. Swain believes real learning comes from teaching yourself and being curious, helping students become thinkers who can learn anything.
