13. Past Years Questions:
Prepared by Dr Richard Ng (2011) Page 13

14. Sample Answers
a) Four techniques of reading the module or materials for
assignment::
i) Scanning - a fast reading technique to look for specific
information
ii) Skimming – a fast reading technique to gain general
impression or superficial knowledge
iii) SQ3R – detailed and analytical reading technique to
thoroughly understand and evaluate the materials
iv) Background Reading – a fast reading technique to get
an overview of what is being read
Prepared by Dr Richard Ng (2011) Page 14

15. b) Consequences of not reading the module before tutorial:
Pre-reading helps to:
i) activate your prior knowledge;
ii) build mental schemas; and
iii) enable us to make intelligent connections.
This will lead to better understanding of the material we
are reading and eventually build interest in the classroom
It is important that we read through the whole topic first,
so that whatever is discussed in class or whatever is
spoken by the tutor is familiar to us. Even if we do not
understand all that is being presented, we will at least
understand the basic ideas.
Prepared by Dr Richard Ng (2011) Page 15

16. Being familiar with the issues raised during tutorials makes
note-taking easier
Thus we must read before tutorial so that we will be
well prepared.
