How do I act on a discussion point when reading an academic textbook?

Answer 1

Hi. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "act on" a discussion point. Discussion — or key points — in a text should be noted. You can keep track of the point by highlighting it, using a Post-It, or some other method of capturing the information. You can then go back and review and refer to the point when you are crafting an academic paper, giving a presentation, or even sharing during class discussion.

Please feel free to circle back with additional questions, or to clarify what you mean by "act on a discussion point".

Best,
