You can read every assigned page, sit through every class, and still feel like the material is a pile of disconnected facts. The fix is not more time on the page—it is a different kind of attention. In this episode, learn four practices for making sense of new material: get oriented before you start, connect new material to what you already know, make the structure visible, and use examples to sharpen what counts. Comprehension is something you do, not something that happens to you—and the understanding you build this way carries into your next course, your work, and your life.
